Canvas: Evaluation and SpeedGrader

Thursday, February 3 | 11am - 12pm

Learn how to grade and give feedback in Canvas. This one-hour workshop is interactive and requires pre-registration so we can prepare your activities. It is intended for instructors currently teaching using Canvas.

Using a time-saving tool called SpeedGrader, you can give students enhanced feedback using document annotation, media comments, and rubrics. This workshop will give you hands-on experience in using it to the benefit of you and your students.
