Auto Grading

[AndrewMcArthur1]

Where do I go in Canvas to set up auto-grading for an assignment ?

@AndrewMcArthur1 -

If it is a Canvas quiz, As far as I know it is automatically graded by default on all questions that can be auto graded.  So if all your questions are (for example) multiple choice, then the quiz is graded as soon as the student submits.  I do not know if there is an option to turn on or off auto grading.

Not sure if that answers your question or not.

As far as I know there is no auto-grading of assignments. You can have quizzes (which are also in the assignment category  of things on Canvas) which are auto graded.  However regular assignments would have to be graded by hand - unless it is an assignment where the students just have to submit something(you don't look at it) - then you could use the set default grade feature.

Hello Ron and thank you for your response.  I do have a quiz that is being auto graded by Canvas. I would like to know how this is setup in Canvas.

I am sorry, but I am not sure what you mean by "how this is set up in Canvas"?  The grading is done automatically on all quiz questions that can be graded that way (i.e T/F or multiple choice), but Essay questions would require a manual grading.

Can you clarify for me what you mean by how it is setup in Canvas.

Hello, the assignment, (Overview & Video Quiz) is a short video with questions to follow that the student answer based on what information they received from the video.  The assignment is then automatically graded via Canvas.   My question, how would I let Canvas/LMS know that I want this specific assignment to be auto graded?

Where do I navigate to within Canvas to set up the auto-grading for an assignment?   How is it done?

Hi @AndrewMcArthur1 ,

Are you perhaps using Canvas Studio, an add-on feature that allows users to create quizzes from videos?
