SpeedGrader

Welcome to Masterpiece Canvas! In this episode we’ll be learning about how to use the Canvas SpeedGrader.

The SpeedGrader can benefit you in the following ways :

• All student work remains in the course page. No more downloading all of your student’s assignments to your computer.
• Student work is sorted by the student name and the name can be hidden for anonymous grading.
• Grade from rubrics to quickly give students feedback based on their mastery of each criterion.
• Give separate feedback to each student.
• Annotate corrections directly on the students submitted paper.
• Allow for mobile grading using the Canvas Teacher app on iOS and Android.
• More!
