We’ve heard your feedback and are thrilled to announce that new improvements to the SpeedGrader Comment Library are coming soon! Starting November 15, these updates will be available as part of the Performance and Usability Updates for SpeedGrader re...

There is a search field in People to narrow down to a particular student. There is a search field in Grades to narrow down to a particular student. Are there plans to implement one in SpeedGrader? In large classes, instructors shouldn't have to scrol...

It pains me to have to post this, but I would advise most institutions to disable the performance and usability upgrades for SpeedGrader. We have found several bugs since enabling it. Most can be resolved by disabling it. However, our most recent bug...

We’ve heard your feedback, switching sections in SpeedGrader was taking too many clicks and causing unnecessary reloads. It was confusing and time-consuming, and we knew it needed to be better.   Good news: we’ve streamlined the process!   Now, chan...

Speedgrader comments format is being changed from separate paragraphs to all one block of text. Any fixes for this?

Has anyone else had multiple users reporting errors when grading with the SpeedGrader Upgrade? We were only able to resolve timeout errors by disabling the upgrade in the users course. Here are a few samples: Teacher had students upload embedded medi...

We've heard from instructors that the Comment Library in SpeedGrader is not very useful because it only allows them to add one comment, total, and because it can only be it to the general comments box, as opposed to adding it to an area within the Do...

At our school, the Designer role has the permission "Grades - view all grades" enabled. When they enter the upgraded SpeedGrader, they are seemingly able to enter a grade and feedback, though the Submit button is grayed out and inactive. There are no...

If an assignment is worth 0 points, the point value isn’t listed in the upgraded SpeedGrader. It should state “Grade out of 0” rather than leaving the points blank. "Grade out of __" is blank for a zero-point assignment

The functions to add images and math equations appear to be missing from the Comments RCE in SpeedGrader Upgrades, please see screenshots below comparing the two. Legacy SpeedGraderSpeedGrader Upgrades

The Screen Capture menu overlay is transparent when recording a video from modernized SpeedGrader, making it difficult to read the text. This test was done in Beta.

One usability improvement we'd like to request be added to SpeedGrader Upgrades is the ability for graders (any role who has the permission to grade) to be able to select multiple sections at once when using the Section filter.  Currently, graders ca...

Our team has found that section enrollments are not updating. In the example below, we moved Participant "Test Participant, Paula Part One" from DIS 1 to DIS 3 (screenshot 1). When we check SpeedGrader and filter to DIS 1, this user is still there (s...

I have done some more testing and compared the new Speedgrader with the old Speedgrader. I found several issues and undocumented changes. These are the issues (which only occur in the new Speedgrader, not in the old interface):1. We have the language...

In the beta environment I enabled the feature option 'Performance and usability upgrades for Speedgrader' in a course. Then I compared the Speedgrader interface on beta with the interface on production ('old' Speedgrader). I noticed that the visibili...

I would recommend removing the Previous and Next buttons from the SpeedGrader when looking at the full discussion context and there is only a single post by a user. When I see these, I click them and am then surprised when I see nothing happening.

I took a look at beta and how the selection of Sections compared to production. I like how in beta the student list is denser and when clicking on Sections it opens directly below, but I think it is a step backwards in terms of switching between diff...

For better visuals, the assessment and the status dropdowns should be aligned together.  Right now the status dropdown is a few pixels lower and therefore looks somewhat weird. -Chris

Hi, I'm noticing that the modernized SpeedGrader comments RCE seems to have a slightly heavier weight than the old SpeedGrader (and the rest of Canvas).  It's a minor difference, but it really doesn't fir in with the rest of Canvas, and I hope it's s...

With April now behind us, we're officially concluding the Modernized SpeedGrader Early Adopter Program. Thank you for your time, attention, and partnership in our first official Early Adopter initiative. Over the past month, we’ve gathered invaluable...

Thanks for Joining Our Modernized SpeedGrader Call! We recently hosted another exciting session of our Early Adopter Program for the Modernized SpeedGrader, and it was packed with great insights and thoughtful feedback across the board. A huge thank ...

After I was switched to the new SpeedGrader, some of my students show up in multiple classes, and some don't show up at all. I have cross listed my similar classes, and when I click on 1 section, I don't always see the students I'm supposed to see in...

Thank you to all of you who joined the customer call yesterday and to those who have continued to partner on this Early Adopter Program along by providing continuous feedback. More calls across time zones coming soon! Here is the recording for those ...

With all the amazing feedback coming in everyday, we have been able to make some real strides on making the SpeedGrader more usable and ready for prime-time. I am excited to invite you all to our first Early Adopter Meeting this Wednesday, Apr 2nd at...

Thank You for Your Feedback on the SpeedGrader Early Adopter Program! First off, a big thank you to everyone who participated in the early adopter program for Modernized SpeedGrader. Your thoughtful feedback—both positive and constructive—has helped ...
