Unused concept for a teacher feedback loop in an LMS.

The challenge was straightforward on paper: make it easier for teachers to give meaningful feedback across multiple classes, often with 100+ students.

But the real friction happened before they even started.

From our findings, teachers often felt overwhelmed by the amount of work waiting for them, so they defaulted to bulk feedback using templates.

It was faster, but it created another problem: students received feedback that felt vague, repetitive, and disconnected from their actual work.

For this concept, I explored two ways to help teachers get started without forcing them into one workflow:

— Focus manually on flagged assignments that need the most attention — Use AI-assisted grouping to cluster assignments with similar patterns, so teachers can review them in context and respond more efficiently

The idea wasn’t to automate the feedback itself, but to reduce the friction around deciding where to start.

Still an unused concept, but I liked the direction.

What do you think?

Super clean work!
