Using the SpeedGrader
L-O-V-E ... absolutely love it!
The Speedgrader is an AWESOME grading tool...nothing else even compares to it. Combining the efficiency of the Speedgrader with a Canvas rubric will significantly cut down your grading time.
Some things you'll really like about it:
- Auto previews of assignment submissions...no more opening individual assignments in separate windows and downloading them to your computer (unless you want to)
- Inline annotation tools...no more marking up assignments and re-uploading for students (unless you want to)
- Inline assignment comments...quickly leave related assignment comments for your student
- Inline media comments to record audio or video feedback giving students a more personalized feedback experience...students can record too, just wait until you receive your first audio/video comment from a student via the Speedgrader
- Rubrics used for grading will auto-enter grades into the Speedgrader and the gradebook...you can't beat that
- Easy sorting of student by submission, by name, or by grading status...this is a great organizational tool for grading
Grading is actually fun using the Speedgrader...bet you can't grade just one assignment! Try it and you'll love it too!
