GraderFinder

GraderFinder is a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) application integrated into Canvas with the purpose of allowing professors to easily find graders for courses using the automated system. In addition, it provides students a streamlined platform to sign up to be a grader for assignments that professors post on the GraderFinder app, removing the need for students who meet the relevant grader prerequisites to communicate with a middleman in charge of manually sending out mass emails. The application is built off of the open-source Canvas LMS and uses technologies such as Ruby for the frontend and backend as well as PostgreSQL to store registered grader and course information.
