How to Use SpeedGrader

Introduction

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.

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!
