Upgrades for SpeedGrader

ellen_peters · 2025-06-12

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...

When I am in the new Speedgrader interface, I input the point value a user earns on their submission and then click out of the text field. Now, I know the normal behavior of Canvas and the SpeedGrader is that by clicking out of that field the grade i...

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...

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...

When I use the mouse to go to the next student I'm correctly shown the next screen and next student and there is no focus for the insertion cursor, all is going as expected then bugs happen stepsI press G and my insertion cursor is rushed to the fiel...

The Assessment score box is too far away from the next student arrow. On my screen, it is 5 inches, but moving a mouse to click a button that far away is the equivalent of a mile. I have tried the keyboard shortcuts to get to the next student, but...

We have just started testing the new SpeedGrader here in the past week. One of our faculty members testing for us has noted the grading experience/view for discussions has changed and is not ideal for her workflow. Will there be an option to just vi...

The browser tab only displays the title "Speedgrader" instead of the assignment title when using the modernized speedgrader. Is it possible to have the assignment title displayed like it was in the previous speedgrader?

With the Modernized SpeedGrader comments all run together even if you press enter to start a new line. This makes the comments difficult to read for the students.

Good morning! Today's discoveries include: Quizzes do not have the orange dot to indicate ungraded submissions and the green check does not auto apply when the grade is entered like a "traditional" assignment does when using the new SpeedGrader inter...

I looked in Prod, Test, and finally Beta and it only appears in Beta. Is that the only place it is set to appear for now?

JoyceBertilson · 2025-03-20

I have noticed that the pop up message that used to appear in Speedgrader when you accidentally gave a score higher than the allotted points for the assignment no longer appears in Modernized Speedgrader. Can this feature be added back in?

How do I get the Modernized SpeedGrader enabled to try it out? The FAQ is confusing as it says it will be "disabled and unlocked." Should this say "enabled and unlocked"? If there is a setting that Admin needs to turn on, can you provide instructio...

Is sorting by first name possible in this pilot or perhaps it was added recently. My feeling is that the canvas users were asking for this for a very long time. Me too. Just checking before i try to use it. Joe Portland.
