TILLING THE SOIL

As an instructor, SpeedGrader allows you to view and grade student assignment submissions in one place using a simple point scale or complex rubric.

SpeedGrader is also integrated as part of the Canvas Teacher app.

PLANTING AND PRUNING

Here are some benefits of SpeedGrader™ :

Everything in one place: Student work is displayed on the left hand side of the instructor's screen, with the grading panel on the left
Color-coded student list: Allows the instructor to see at a glance who has turned work in and needs to be graded [orange dot], who has already been graded [green check], and who has not yet turned in work [student name is light gray]
Time stamp: Shown for each piece of student work - late assignments show LATE and time stamp is red
Variety of feedback: Instructors can provide written as well as audio/video feedback
Create feedback loops: Students can reply to your feedback within their graded responses

Some additional ways to use it are:

Use the Mute Assignment feature to withhold your feedback from all students until you complete grading
Use Rubrics to speed through grading
Annotate student documents for students who upload a file that is a .doc, .pdf, or .ppt
Use the Canvas Teacher App to grade as SpeedGrader is built into that app's functionality

SpeedGrader™ is integrated in the Canvas Teacher app. We've included the videos for how to use Canvas Teacher below!
