Why would you download a student's Assignment submission when you can grade it in the Assignment? I noticed there is a download button below speedgrader....Colleen

If grading via the SpeedGrader works well for you then you probably do not need to download the submission.

Some instructors like the option to download and grade, some schools need collections of artifacts for things like accreditation, and some fields have file types that need to be downloaded to open in a program or run.....  It's just one way a robust platform like Canvas can accommodate a broad spectrum of needs.
