- How to GRADE in your CANVAS course
Using the gradebook in Canvas LMS online course is extremely helpful when teaching online and it can really save you time and energy by using Speedgrader and Rubrics. I highly suggest using rubrics because it allows the students to know exactly what you are grading them on and what you expect from them for each assignment so it is clear and concise. It also puts the student's mind at ease when they clearly understand their grade which in turn helps them be successful in your class.

UPDATE AUGUST 17: Thanks all for letting me know the emojis are distracting. I've just discovered a new way to cover student info so it will not be annoying in the future videos. I appreciate you letting me know so I can continue to make better quality videos for everyone! I'm going to do a 2.0 version of this video coming soon!
I also find it helpful to send friendly reminders to the students who haven't submitted an assignment right before it's due. Canvas makes it super easy to do this too!
You have seriously made my first year of teaching a dream! These videos have been so informative and I'm so thankful for you!
I'm so glad!
I have transitioned into a new career, teaching at a local college. Just want to thank you for these videos. They are exactly what I need. Wish you offered private tutorial sessions so that we can ask questions. Thanks, again!
You are so welcome! I'm glad they helped. I do currently offer 1:1 sessions and happy to help in anywayI can. Here's my direct calendar link where you can schedule a time: app.squarespacescheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19290477&appointmentType=category:1%3A1%20Coaching
Ashley, you've taught me a bunch. Thank you! Checking in from Las Vegas, NM. 🎭🎭🎭🎭
Happy to help!
Great video. I've been using Canvas for awhile so this was a terrific refresher with information about items I hadn't noticed before. I really like the section on rubrics - so easy to set them up. They make grading much easier while also communicating expectations to students.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Ashlee, have you done a video on dividing the gradebook by quarters? Also, do you have (or could you please do) one on how to print the class grades (to have a hard copy for reference while comparing them to a district gradebook system). Thank you, so much!
I don't have a video on dividing the gradebook. You can export grades and then print them for your records though. Go into gradebook, click on Actions at top tab and then click export.
Thank you for finally clarifying the purpose of a rubric. I have been going in circles feeling that they only offer redundant and superfluous information for my supervisors. Now I just have to make certain I do not overuse them. BTW, the emojis masking names ARE cute but their motion is highly distracting when I am trying to follow your mouse moves on the screen. I AM a little ADHD and I own it but I had to block the rocking, winking faces with my hand to focus on you.
Thank you for this helpful feedback. I completely understand what you are saying here with the emojis. Looking back, I really wish I had just used simple non-moving blocks to white out the student info versus the emojis. I think that was like the first time I made a video that I needed to cover up so much personal and confidential info and I hadn't found the best way to do it at that point. Thanks for letting me know. This feedback really helps me so when I make new videos I can incorporate it! Glad the helped you with your Rubrics too! The more you use them the more you discover ways to use them to benefit you and the students.
After entering all the points in the rubric for each student in Speedgrader, I still have to manually retype the total points into the assignment score. This involves a lot of scrolling and typing. There is no "automatic" copying of the rubric total to the assignment score.
Is there some sneaky setting I am missing?
The grade book always calculate the average grade and post it in an “imported column” that creates by Canvas automatically.
My question is that this column has not posted the average grade…
How can I activate the calculation?
Thank you for this information. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is related to unwanted submissions or assignments submitted in the wrong area. Is there a way to remove student submissions that are mistakes?
Can you arrange Rubric Rows after created. Gracias
There is currently no way to rearrange the criteria in rubrics. Hopefully Canvas can update that in the future though.
How can you remove the late indicator on a student’s grade?
It may be truly late but I am choosing not to count it late. I teach secondary, so showing lots of grace!!
You would need to adjust the due dates to remove that late indicator. It's auto set for Canvas. I always tell them that even though it's late I'm flexible and understanding with the current situation. I tell them it's just a way for me to know that they haven't turned it in yet but not to worry about it. The other thing you could do is not set a due date in the actual assignment but instead type it into the RCE box along with the subscription. Then it doesn't have an actual due date auto set in Canvas and won't give them those markings.
Not sure why, but the images are very fuzzy at the start. Really helpful video, however - thanks! : )
Sorry about that. I think I've figured out how to make it more clear since I posted this video. Thanks for your feedback.
@@VirtualTeachingPro no worries - thanks again for this helpful resource!
Thanks Ashlee.
You are so welcome!
This video tutorial is immensely helpful. I love your emojis to cover students' names. I am used to Google Classroom, so Canvas' Speedgrader sounds familiar, helpful, and user-friendly.
Is Canvas also your entire Student Information System?
Glad it was helpful! Gotta protect our student info so I do like the fun emojis to take care of that :) I do find speedgrader pretty user friendly. Yes, Canvas, for me, turns into the place for SIS. I find it helpful bc it's the one place I can have all of that info stored, available and organized from class to class. I do teach at the college level though so that might be diff needs depending upon the age/level you teach and your specific needs. I also love that it shows the students their grades so they always know where they stand and everything is transparent.
Hello Ashley, and thanks for so many great videos you make. I have a question, when I import a rubric from another course and put it in the new course, the title appears "rubric example (1)" and when trying to change in the title that part (1) guessing is copy (1) it does not change it. What would be the best way to change that (1) and remove it? Thanks for your help.
Thanks for feedback and so glad the videos have heIped! I have not experienced this yet but a couple of things to try might be: double check that there is not another rubric with that same name, try to give it a title that is specific to that assignment, or you might have to just delete and recreate it. Let me know if you were able to fix it!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
what if you want to put in an AP Ruberic for Assessment and don't want them to see it beforehand?
Great question. I’m not sure if there is a way to make the rubric hidden to the student at this point. The rubric is for the student to know how you will grade them and offer feedback on each element. Sorry I can’t be more helpful on this.
@@VirtualTeachingPro We use scoring guides, a little different than rubrics for math especially in AP Calculus
Have you used the conference option from Canvas or do you use Zoom. If you use Canvas to can you make a video on how you do it and how it works. I love your videos they have helps me a great deal in setting up my class.
I use zoom outside of Canvas. I personally do not like Conferzoom within canvas. It's a little confusing and clunky to me. I create the zoom meetings and then put that link and info in canvas as an announcement. check out this video on how I do this and at about 9:00 I show how I paste it into an announcement in Canvas ruclips.net/video/gl38oNPHQ5Q/видео.html
Ashlee Espinosa thanks
Great job, very helpful. I understand the privacy requirements but the huge blocks basically make it hard to follow and lose me. I am new to this canvas and seems I’m always trying to catch up to class needs. So have seen tons of vids and still lost. Trying to get students to “teach a lesson” on a whiteboard, video the presentation and somehow submitted for instructors and other students to view, comment and critique (grade with a rubric). So not sure where to go at this time. Please help.
Problems so far. 1 how to get them to record themselves and submit. About a 60 min video. Loom? Studio? iPhone? Zoom? All have limits.
So canvas has a size limit to download, so now what? Stuck
Since they are learning to teach and it’s a very graphic thing.(flight training) I want to watch their presentation and have other student watch and comment. Is there a book to learn all of this?
Very frustrating and feeling lost… any help will help thx can you refer me to any of your appropriate presentations to address some of these problems
Edgar
Totally understand your frustration here. I would suggest avoiding the long videos. The best way would be to have them film and upload to RUclips then submit the link. You might also check out using Loom. You can sign up for a free educator account and the students can sign up for a free account as well which removes the 5 min limit.
here's my Canvas Tutorials series that might be helpful as you continue to learn and understand the platform. It does take time so I always suggest keeping it simple at first and remove any friction if possible. ruclips.net/p/PLit_70db88TTVKUlrn-xdwO02QtVN5JzP
I would suggest breaking down the video content to more bite size videos which will be easier all around for them, for you and for the uploading process. Maybe it's a 10 minute video teaching demo on one topic rather than a long one hour video. It will be easier to offer assessments and peer evaluations.
Use Studio as much as possible as it is built in and a great function for letting them comment. Here's a tutorial on that: ruclips.net/video/ljFSPsKwBqQ/видео.html
How would you make a rubric for an assignment which had already been completed by students? I want to be able to attach rubrics so that they are ready to go for next semester. Thank you.
I would suggest duplicating the assignment and then attach a rubric for the new class to have ready. You really want to avoid changing the assignment after they students have already completed it doesn't pop up on their end for that semester.
Hi Ashlee! Can be Speedgrader be used *only* if the assignment is in PDF form, or can it be used when the assignment was entered directly into text box? Thanks!
both! speedgrader is used for everything in canvas including discussions, assignments that they upload, text boxs, etc. In my experience I've used it for everything I need to grade that isn't auto graded. Super easy!
Hello Ashlee, thanks for this video.
What exactly is Speedgrader? is it that it allows you to preset the answers of the quiz before it is taken by the students so that when they answer the questions, it automatically marks the quiz based on the preset answers?
Speedgrader is the part of Canvas that is the tool you use for grading. It's how you grade everything that isn't auto graded. It turns grading by hand into an easy way to see each students submissions, view it, grade it, make comments, and easily communicate with them using rubrics for clear grading. Hope this helps a little!
Hi, Ashley - Thank you so much for your helpful videos; they help with cramming! A question about the rubrics. I like to have my students self-assess and reflect how they did using the rubric. Is there an option to create that on the rubric itself or should I be making a separate assignment for that? Thanks! - Jennifer
You might consider creating a new assignment for this. I suggest perhaps something like a journal entry or reflection entry using an assignment that they type in the box.
Thanks for this, Ashlee. Question: I'm using a rubric in an assignment and I'm clicking on the "grade" for each descriptor or category, and then it's showing the total at the bottom, but that's not autopopulating into the actual grade box where it says "out of 25". I click on save after I've finished using the rubric, but that total doesn't appear in that box; instead I have to enter it by hand (or it stays as a 0). Am I missing something? Shouldn't that grade automatically appear in the "out of X points" box at the top of the rubric? Thanks!
Double check that when you set up the rubric you checked the box that says "use this rubric for grading assignemnt" it's located at the very bottom of the rubric when you are in edit mode in the assignment. Hope this helps!
Hi Ashlee, I took a Zoom class from you some time back. You are ordinarly great! I find that the animated faces are very distracting, and they cover up not just student names, but also headings. So they make your video hard (for me) to follow.
Well, just did the best I can here to offer this tutorial for free on RUclips.
@@VirtualTeachingPro I apologize if what I said was hurtful. You are a great teacher. I just thought that you might want to know how the animated face was a distraction for me. Hard for me to pay attention to your message when my eyes are tracking that other face.
SpeedGrader works great for grading essays with clickable rubrics, but teachers also want to annotate student drafts. Now teachers using Canvas can save time and provide writing feedback with single clicks from our e-Comments menu. Provides hundreds of customizable canned comments in four comment sets: grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and AP/university. Add audio or video comments or record the screen. Create your own comment sets. Check out the free trial at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/e-comments/dccccbckfnndplihkaeiekggmeicbhgj?hl=en-US
What app do you use to imbed the video of yourself for the tutorials? I used Screencastify last spring when it was unlimited, but now I am restricted to 5 minutes. I am looking for a free replacement. Suggestions? By the way, I've just watched three of your tutorials and they've been extremely helpful!
I use filmora9 for all my editing and tutorials. I love it! It's super easy and offers more than imovie but not as complicated as premiere pro or other software. I bought a lifetime subscription so it isn't free but has saved me soooo much time. Hope this helps!
Hi Ashlee, can I get students to peer-review an assignment (but their points won't go into the grade centre) and use the same assignment to grade it (with the point going into grade center)?
Great question. I haven't played around with this option yet but check out this article community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-peer-review-assignments-in-a-course/ta-p/697
I am struggling with saving annotations on assignments. I go to speed grader leave annotated comments on the student work, but then can’t seem to send the input back to the student. Can you make a video on how to save these annotations please. Your videos are great, they are keeping me alive as a new to canvas teacher.
I'll add it to my list of videos to create. I feel like I will never run out of videos bc this list I've got is like pages long!
hi Ashley- how do you make a group in Speedgrader?
Hi there. I'm not sure what you mean but making a group in speedgrader? Speedgrader is used for grading any assignments or discussions you create in Canvas so it's grouped automatically by assignment in grades. Hope this helps.
Ms. Ashley, how do I get rid of the funny face figures that keep appearing during your training videos? They block so much info and I cannot see what it is that you are clicking on. They are huge rounded cartoon faces and sometimes the faces have sunglasses or super large hearts. Thanks
Hi there. Yes, the faces are covering my student's private info since I use my classes as an example and I need to cover their info. I've got a few updates videos on this coming out soon. Thanks for your patience.
The Emojis are horribly disturbing. I had to quit watching and look for a different video. Please find a way to present your results in a better format.
Hi there. Thanks for your feedback. This video is about year old and is the first of my journey posting video tutorials on RUclips. It was the best way at that time I could figure out how to cover my students info for their privacy. I completely agree with you. I have since found a better way that is much better and easier to follow along. If you check out my more recent videos from the past 6 months to present you'll see the difference. I've also done an updated video on this topic if it's helpful. I'll link it here. Thanks again for you feedback and have a wonderful day! ruclips.net/video/W1XzkE6y94c/видео.html
Okay these huge smiley faces are too distracting. Catch you on another video.
totally understand you on this. I finally discovered a way to hide student info so I do not need to use the faces. I just use boxes to cover it now :)
What's with the smiley faces covering the screen?
To cover my student’s info to protect their privacy so I can show you this information
