Modernize Speedgrader

Grading is at the heart of every educator's workflow, and with large classes and data-heavy tasks, it can sometimes slow you down. The goal of the SpeedGrader modernization is to optimize performance for a faster, more seamless experience, especially for those working with larger courses or complex assignments. By upgrading the backend technology, we’ve ensured that SpeedGrader can handle high-demand tasks more efficiently and with greater reliability.

Key Improvements

  • Faster Load Times
  • With the infrastructure improvements, SpeedGrader now loads grades, submissions, and data more quickly, even for larger classes, with notably faster initial page loads and quicker transitions between students.
  • Increased Stability
  • We’ve made the system more resilient to handle heavy grading periods, minimizing errors and ensuring a more reliable experience across the board.
