[ARCHIVED] Comment banks in Speedgrader

[k_delaney]

Hi there.

As a totally new Canvas user, I'm wondering 

Is there any way to create a comment bank in Canvas speedgrader?

Hi,  @k_delaney  Welcome to the Canvas Community! While this is not a native feature of Canvas, there are external applications that help instructors manage this. When I was teaching online courses, I used the free version of PhraseExpress to store and retrieve frequently-used comments. You might find other ideas in the comments under this popular feature idea, https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/1751-ability-to-save-and-copy-from-frequently-used-comments-in... 

Hope this helps, Kathryn!

You can also create a Rubric with your comments.  There is an options under the Rubric table to not assign points.

I completely agree!! This would save sooooo much time in grading essays--something like Google docs had. If Canvas could work on creating a comment bank, that would be AMAZING and needless to say, a lifesaver for English teachers!
