Is there a way to scroll through several assignments of a single student in speed-grader? I would like to easily compare student progress over time. Currently, I am opening a student's work in speed-grader, then going back to the gradebook and opening the next assignment in speed-grader. With 100 students and multiple assignments, this is very inefficient. Has anyone found a better way to do this?#viewingstudentsubmissions
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @akoch
At this time, it is not possible to do so, although I have never found it to be an inconvenience, as I grade an assignment at a time, and typically when my to-do list advises me that I have a submission.
There have been several feature ideas over the years requesting this functionality, but I do not see one that is currently open for voting (I could be wrong, because crowd-source key terms can be less than satisfactory). If you would like to submit this as a feature request, learn more at How does the feature idea process work in the Canvas Community?

@akoch , if this is something you'd like to see implemented, the feature idea currently open for voting and in Radar status is https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/2508-ability-to-move-through-all-assignments-for-one-student-i... (no need to create a new idea!).
Thank you stefaniesanders
I looked through all five pages of SpeedGrader FIs and did not see that one. Must have more coffee!

I'm curious if you know how long an idea takes to be implemented. It seems like this one began 6 years ago.
Thank you

This would be a great feature! Multiple teachers and administrators in our organization are requesting this. It would be particularly useful in instances where administrators are auditing a particular student's classes/work.
