Phone Optimization

The SpeedGrader app has been better optimized for phone devices, including better support for landscape mode with smaller padding margins and font sizes. Rubric content also scales better in the grading section. Additionally, if the menu tab is open and a user advances through student submissions, the grading header information updates according to the submission being viewed.

 

Screen Tutorials

Users can learn how to use SpeedGrader pages and icons with new tutorials throughout the app. Tutorials show details such as how to view all courses or favorite courses, sort student submissions, and view student submissions.
