LearnUpon Pipeline

We built a grading pipeline on LearnUpon that converts each student submission, grades it against the right rubric and sends the written feedback back, without anyone marking by hand.

Case study details outstanding. The specifics on this page are placeholder pending the client’s confirmation of figures and wording. Do not publish until the real details are supplied, nothing here has been invented from data we don’t have.

The Problem

Manual marking that didn't scale.

Every submission was opened, read and graded by hand. It was slow, the marking varied from person to person, and it couldn't keep up as course volume grew.

  • Every submission opened, read and graded by hand.
  • Turnaround times stretching to days.
  • Feedback quality varied between markers.
  • Resubmissions created duplicate workload.
The Workflow

From submission to feedback, hands-off.

6 stages
Webhook to feedback
Triggered by LearnUpon webhooks and run end to end with no human in the loop. Feedback arrives in minutes, not days.
What It Does

The pipeline, step by step.

1

Webhook trigger

A LearnUpon webhook fires the moment a student submits their work.

2

Detect & convert

The pipeline picks up the file and converts it to a readable format with CloudConvert (a file-conversion service).

3

Match rubric

The pipeline matches the submission to the correct grading rubric.

4

AI grading

Gemini grades the work against the rubric, the same way every time.

5

Store results

Grades and feedback are stored in Supabase (the database), so every result can be delivered and checked later.

6

Deliver feedback

The student gets personalised written feedback back, without anyone sending it.

Want something like this built?

A couple of lines is enough. It goes straight to Aidan, not a sales team, and if it isn’t worth building he’ll tell you.

  • You deal with Aidan directly, not a sales team.
  • A straight answer on whether it's worth building, and what it'd cost.
  • You own everything we build. No lock-in and no per-seat fees.
