Canvas Connect- Modernize Speedgrader
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.
Providing Supports for Students within New Quizzes
While exploring ways to better support our Multilingual students I found tips that can help ALL students. The rich content editor allows you to tweak quiz directions or answers by adding things like images, sounds, and videos. It's awesome for making content more accessible, especially for students with IEPs or 504 plans. I'll share some ways to use different quiz question types to give everyone that extra boost they might need.
