Hi  @malia_molina  

SpeedGrader is the best thing since sliced bread; maybe even the best thing since Betty White!  It is a grading tool in Canvas that works outside of the Gradebook, but feeds the grades to the Gradebook.

You can learn more from the SpeedGrader chapter in the Canvas Instructor Guide, however these lessons will get you there.......

• How do I get to SpeedGrader from an assignment, quiz, or graded discussion? 
• How do I grade a text entry submission in SpeedGrader? 
• How do I grade a website URL submission in SpeedGrader? 
• How do I grade a media recording submission in SpeedGrader? 
• How do I grade a file upload submission in SpeedGrader? 
• How do I grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader? 

If you are investigating this in response to CoVid-19, and I guess you are, I would also suggest researching what support and training is being made available to faculty at your school.

I would also recommend checking out Prepare for Distance Learning with Canvas LMS Experts  recorded at 9:00 am this morning.

Here is more information for webinar recording access:
