Add SpeedGrader back to the Assignment Drop Down Menu

[garrett_william]

We need SpeedGrader added back to the Assignment Drop Down Menu in the New Gradebook. It is very confusing for  users who want to speed grade an assignment for an entire class of students. This was a feature in the old Gradebook. Now a user must click on the hidden grade detail tray in the assignment cell. Then navigate to the far right and select speedgrader on the individual student's assignment card. Many of my teachers didn't even know there was a menu in the assignment cell because it is hidden.

This was especially perplexing to teachers trying to grade Quizzes.Next quizzes.  SpeedGrader is not an option on Quizzes.Next build pages. They had no idea how to grade essays and thought something was broken in their course. It took a help ticket with Canvas to figure out what to do because the documentation on using the Speed Grader is dependent on which Gradebook your institution uses.

This is a crucial feature for teachers that should be easy to find and access.

Makes good sense. Please also consider voting for my related: Create a Shortcut to Speedgrader from New Gradebook Cells . The idea is to add a shortcut to Speedgrader from a cell, maybe an icon in one of the corners, so with one click you can get to a specific student's submission in Speedgrader. (This is complementary to the general shortcut proposed above). Thanks!

PLEASE...   (Also, Assignment Details!)

Following up on this - this is a mindboggling decision to move it from a fairly convenient place (directly connected to the assignment) that makes sense to grade all students' work for said assignment, into a tucked away location based on individual students. 98% of the time, I'm trying to use SpeedGrader to grade speedily. 2% I'm looking to revisit a single student's assignment.
