Improving Grading Efficiency
Looking for ways to increase the efficiency and consistency of the grading process? Try attaching a Canvas rubric to Canvas assignments, quizzes, and discussions.
Canvas Grading Resources
Getting ready to grade? Canvas SpeedGrader can be used to grade student work submitted through Canvas. If you wish to hide grades from students while you are grading, see hiding and posting grades in Canvas.

Looking for an alternative to Scantron this term? Gradescope’s bubble sheet feature allows you to scan student answers for automatic grading according to an answer key you provide. Gradescope is integrated with OSU Canvas, and this allows you to send grades from Gradescope to the Canvas gradebook. Learn more about Gradescope and how to get started.
