Canvas Marking & Grading
Join our in-house digital learning specialist, Karl McGuirk, as he walks us through Canvas must-knows.
Facilitated sessions
These sessions follow a set structure and are suitable for staff who are responsible for marking and grading assessments in Canvas. We will cover:
- Accessing the Canvas SpeedGrader
- How to use the annotation and comment tools in SpeedGrader
- Entering grades, using rubrics and feedback opportunities in Canvas
- Best practice tips for navigating the Canvas Gradebook interface
The facilitated sessions are held in Zoom. Upon registering you will receive a calendar reminder.
Drop-in support
We are also offering informal drop-ins. These opportunities are an open Q&A designed to provide targeted, pedagogical advice for your specific teaching context. Bring your questions about SpeedGrader, the Gradebook, marking, feedback, and rubrics.
