assets from within the LMS. Live and on-demand video is available
to students. This feature has simplified and enhanced the learning
experience in canvas.

and grade using different methods including a simple point scale or a
complex rubric.

and .pdf using Crocodoc, while the rest of the file formats are converted
using either Scribd or Google Preview.
19. SpeedGrader also supports the
use of Rubrics, which helps in
communicating expectations for
any given assignment, increasing
the chances that students will
turn in better work.

grade, start discussions, and
provide students with written,
video & audio commentary
