Speedgrader: Larger, more prominent download link for file submissions

0 Likes

Please make it easier to download student assignments that were submitted as Word files as Word files. The bigger button triggers a change from Word file to PDF. The only way to retain the Word file status is with a tiny little arrow that often overlaps with the document title. For annotation purposes, I need to be able to interact with my students' work in Word, and the transformation to PDF is undesirable.

@AmandaSeligman  Could you please summarize the process you're currently using to download a student's Word file? The screenshot in the View Speedgrader section of  How do I use SpeedGrader?  shows the download link for the file at the top of the right panel under Submitted Files; when an instructor clicks on that link, it will download the student's submitted Word file.

Thanks.

Hi Stephanie
 
Thank you for responding quickly. That is the method I am using. I just want that button to be bigger than the arrow is now so it's easier to click.

Thanks for clarifying the intent of the idea, @AmandaSeligman . I'll make a slight edit to the idea and move it forward as a request for a change to the UI.
