The SpeedGrader™ allows you to view different types of assignment submissions in one place, make text and audio comments to students, and grade using different methods, such as rubrics. Crocodoc is a tool integrated within SpeedGrader to help instructors annotate and provide additional feedback.

What Can You Do with SpeedGrader™?

Providing adequate feedback to students can enhance student engagement and learning. The SpeedGrader™ has several places where instructors can offer feedback:

Post a grade directly to the gradebook.

View and use the rubric (if the assignment has a rubric attached).

Add general comments which can start back-and-forth discussions around the assignment.

Provide students with written, video, and audio commentary

Include additional attachments

Download the original submission.

In the SpeedGrader™, instructors can also view the date/time of a student submission (and you'll be alerted if the submission was late).

What Can You Do with Crocodoc?

Crocodoc is a tool that allows teacher and peer review annotations on submissions of online assignments in Canvas. When a student submits an assignment, the file is uploaded as a submission to the course and to the student's personal file repository. If Crocodoc cannot convert a submission, Scribd or Google Preview will convert it, depending on the preview tool you use.

Crocodoc supports .doc/.docx, .ppt/.pptx, .xls/.xlsx (in beta), and .pdf file formats.

NOTE: Files over 100MB and password protected files will not be converted by Crocodoc.

As instructors, Crocodoc allows you to annotate submissions in the following ways:

Add comments to a document in the side bar.

Add additional text to a document.

Highlight text.

Strikeout text.

Draw directly on a document.

Download original document submission.
