    ⭐ Why this plugin is unlike anything else available

    A course-and-quiz marking queue with direct links to the report

    ▸ The AI Grader Dashboard block shows the ungraded total and overdue count, then course and quiz essay counts. It is not a per-learner “graded today” report.

    ▸ Grade now opens Quiz → Results → AI Essay Grader. Marking and approval happen in that quiz report, not in this block.

    ▸ Pages reuse cached counts, normally refreshed in the background by Moodle cron. This is not a live-push queue; refreshing a page does not guarantee newly calculated counts.

    What is the Dashboard Block?

    The AI Essay Grader Dashboard Block provides a centralized monitoring system for tracking ungraded essays across all your Moodle™ courses. Get email notifications when essays need attention.

    Add block_aigrader_dashboard to the Moodle Dashboard for the cross-course queue (within your permissions). Grade now links to AI Essay Grader (quiz_aigrader), where assessors generate, edit and approve marks. Per-quiz Grading Time Statistics are in that report; View Activity Report opens the site-wide AI Essay Grader Activity Report, also under Site administration → Reports.
