Marking and feedback
Description: Flubaroo is a browser extension for Google designed to grade assignments and quizzes. It automates the grading process by analyzing student responses and providing instant feedback. Users, primarily educators, can employ Flubaroo to facilitate the grading process for tests conducted via Google Forms. Flubaroo was developed by Dave Abouav, a software developer. It is free , but it requires a Google account. So users need to install the Flubaroo add-on in Google Sheets, but no separate account or signup process is required.
Evaluation: Flubaroo is particularly helpful and time-saving for teachers since it automatises grading, generates detailed performance reports, and facilitates data analysis of grades. It has a moderate learning curve, mainly requiring familiarity with Google Sheets and Forms, so only average IT skills are sufficient for effective use. Its website is very basic but it includes a complete step-by-step written tutorial about how to use the tool, a video tutorial and a discussion forum.
Cost: Free without registration. The extension must be installed into a browser and as an add-on to Google Sheets.

It claims that access rights to Google Drive Units are requested to perform actions, while textual content of users' files are not transmitted to third-party services. The policy does not provide extensive details about security measures but emphasizes that no student data is stored outside users’ Google Drive units.
