Follow-up: Tips, tricks & opportunities for grading in Canvas (ISU Online Learning Community)

Posted on March 16, 2021June 22, 2022

Below please see the notes from the ISU OLC meeting on grading in Canvas which took place on Friday, March 12:

Grading in Canvas

Drs. Amani Elobeid (Economics) and Cristina Bonaccorsi (Chemistry) shared their tips on grading in Canvas:

Stay on top of your grading:

Use the Message Students Who function in the gradebook to remind a group of students of late assignments, offer corrective feedback, and give praise. Although sent in bulk, such messages are received by each student individually.
Sort and filter student data efficiently and save your time while grading!
Change options in the Speedgrader to sort submissions by student name, the date by which assignments were submitted, or assignment submission status.

Know how Canvas calculates student grades:

Have a good idea about your grading schema and how it converts earned points into letter grades.
Know how to use the total column in Canvas.
Save your extra-credit until the end, or else it might be resulting in misleading grades for your students.
Check out the key concepts for grading in Canvas on the CELT website if you want a thorough walk-through of the grading basics.
