Speedgrader popout

[Shaby]

Has there been any movement on making speedgrader able to pop out into its own window?

Maybe I'm missing something in your question, but why not just right-click on an assignment SpeedGrader link, and then select "Open link in new window?  Wouldn't that be just as easy?  Looking forward to hearing back from you on this.

Hi Chris Thanks for getting back to me. You are correct - that does open speed grader in a new window, however from my experience it also opens the document to be marked in the same window. This means that the rubric is only partially exposed. In Moodle for example, the window with the rubric can pop out so that you can see the whole rubric width - much easier to mark in this way. 

See this image of how it looks with Canvas:

I'm aware that the border can be controlled to view the whole rubric, however that reduces the size of the document being marked. I thought that a detachable window might be a useful addition.
