Speedgrader
Canvas accepts a variety of document formats and even URLs as assignment submissions. SpeedGrader™ automatically converts the various online submission types into a format that can be displayed by a web browser for your review. Within one frame, you can view [1], grade [2], start discussions [3], and provide students with written, video, and audio commentary [4]. When you have finished with one student, you can jump right to the next student without leaving SpeedGrader™ [5]. Your private feedback to the student, through text, audio, or video, will be sent via the communication channels that they prefer.
To evaluate an assignment in Speedgrader:
