+# frontend-app-ora-grading
+
+The ORA Staff Grading App is a microfrontend (MFE) staff grading experience for Open Response Assessments (ORAs). This experience was designed to streamline the grading process and enable richer previews of submission content. 
+
+When enabled, ORAs with a staff grading step will link to this new MFE when clicking "Grade Available Responses" from the ORA or link in the instructor dashboard.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+To start the MFE and enable the feature in LMS:
+
+1. Start the MFE and take a note of the location/port. This defaults to `http://localhost:1993`.
+
+2. Add the route root to `edx-platform` settings: In `edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py` or similar, add `ORA_GRADING_MICROFRONTEND_URL = 'http://localhost:1993'`
+
+3. Enable the feature: In Django Admin go to django-waffle > Flags and add/enable a new flag called `openresponseassessment.enhanced_staff_grader`.
+
+From there, visit the new experience by going to the Instructor Dashboard > Open Responses or an ORA with a Staff Graded Step and click a link to begin grading.
+
