As AP is moving into the digital age, my students are now forced to type timed essays. The most viable options that would not allow them to use spellcheck or grammar check is either a Canvas text entry submission or a Canvas essay quiz. However, the lack of grading tools available with these makes them impossible options. I MUST be able to annotate my students' essays. I know requests for text entry annotation tools have been made since 2018 and requests for quiz annotation tools since 2020; yet, nothing has been done to fix these issues. I am begging you--PLEASE add grading/annotation tools to text entry submissions and quiz submissions by the 2024-2025 school year. I must be able to hold my students accountable for their writing, and I should not have to print essays out in order to do that. Please, Please, PLEASE make the life of English teachers easier by adding these features. Thank you!
