View and grade student assignment submissions in Canvas and add comments, annotations, video/audio comments or use a Rubric.

SpeedGrader if the key to convenient marking. You have the ability to have all your students work in one central place, you can see who submitted late, their Originality Report from Turnitin and the tools to mark online.

When you open a submission, DocViewer (SpeedGrader window) will automatically save any annotations made to the submission file for 10 hours. Canvas will display a session expiration warning at 9 hours 50 minutes, followed by a 5-minute and 1-minute warning until the 10-hour limit has been reached. You can restart a DocViewer session at any time by refreshing the submission page.

You can access SpeedGrader through assignments, quizzes, graded discussions, and the grade book.
