Automated Moodle Overdue Grading Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Moodle, checks every course for submitted assignments still ungraded past your target turnaround, books a catch-up grading block in Google Calendar for the instructor, and alerts the teaching team in Microsoft Teams with the count by course.
How do I catch overdue Moodle grading before students notice?
WebRun checks Moodle every morning for assignments ungraded past your target turnaround, books a catch-up grading block in Google Calendar for the responsible instructor, and alerts the teaching team in Microsoft Teams with overdue counts by course, so grading backlogs get caught before students start asking about it.
- Grading backlogs get caught before students start asking
- Catch-up time is booked automatically instead of squeezed in later
- The teaching team sees overdue counts by course, not a vague reminder

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it contact students about their grades?
No. It only alerts your teaching team internally. WebRun never emails or messages a student about grading status.
Will it grade anything itself?
No. It only reads submission and grading status from Moodle. Every grade is entered by the instructor.
What counts as overdue?
Any submission ungraded past the turnaround target you set, so the alert reflects your own grading policy, not a fixed default.
