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!
