Grading and Rubrics in Canvas Demo Tutorial

hi and welcome to canvas grading and rubric demo in this demonstration we are going to look at using the gradebook using speed grader to grade tests assignments participation and discussions putting them into different categories for grading weights and grading using rubrics so let's begin you can see I have my test class setup here with my various test people this class is how to be a superhero let's first look at the gradebook then this gradebook things are obviously organized from left to right chronologically these are based upon due dates of these different assignments and tests and so on you can quickly see which assignments people have handed things in on and which ones have been graded you can see over here the quiz intro material we have a couple quizzes have been taken and one that has been graded and a couple that have not been taking it at all when you see these little dashes it means that that grade will not be entered in to the final total over here on the right hand side canvas basically just ignores those grades within the gradebook you can click on the various assignments if you would like to go directly to them to edit them you can actually also click in drag assignments and put them in different orders if you would prefer to do that up here on the right hand side we have an import and export if you wanted to export all of your grades at the end of a semester into a spreadsheet here we can look at grading history hiding student names columns by due date treat ungraded as zero which will get set if you just didn't grade something it would be set as a zero show concluded enrollments inactive enrollments and a note column basically a note column just something that allows you as a teacher to write in different notes up here to the top right we can look at different sections if we have those sections filled out the very bottom you'll see a test student this test student is basically when you under your settings here click on student view you can create different scenarios as a test student if you would wish your options from within gradebook we could go in and you can directly grade these if you wanted to we could enter integrate if we wanted to we could go all the way down the line and just type in different grades that's a quick way to add a grade if you would like you also see for each of these segments here there'll be a little spot there that you can click on in grade and add a comment right from the gradebook what we're going to focus on here is a speed grader in order to get to that there is a down arrow right there where you can click on speed grader before we do that let's look at some of the other options here we have a message students who we could message students that haven't submitted yet have them in graded scored less than or more than a certain amount and this could be helpful if you just want to remind students to hand something in or encourage people that have higher grades or encourage people that have lower grades to do better next time here you can set a default grade if you wanted to as well as curve grades or mutant assignment when you mute assignment it should tell you is that the students will be able to see the grade they can't see any changes can't see any submission comments now this can be very helpful say if you want to do a bunch of corrections on different papers and you don't want the students to be seeing those Corrections or if you don't want to see them to have them see the grades yet you can mute the assignment so let's look at the speed grader we're going to first grade a quiz here's a speed grader it's typical for each one set up this way or the right hand side is your grading column and then your assignment grade a column is on the left here and click up here see all the different students you can see the ones that have it submitted in the orange here that have not been graded the ones that have been graded and submitted and then the ones that have not submitted anything yet and that are grayed out there let's go down and look at this quiz you could if you wanted to override some of the points even if a student got one correct and put in comments you wish and then there are some things in quizzes that you may set up that are short answers that you would have to grade yourself so you would need to read and then put in whatever grade that you wanted there and any comments fudge points at the bottom would be for maybe bonus points you could set up some questions that are worth zero and if they got it correct you could add a couple of bonus points there at the end make sure you always update the scores and then put any comments that you want to over the right-hand side this works just like any other comment tool where you can type in your comment like that you can also and then you submit get add additional comments if you want to as well as the student can comment back you can also attach a file if you want to hand something back and you can also attach a video so if you wanted to you could connect up a video camera and you could record some sort of video message back to them in terms of feedback or just audio as well this is the same pretty much for grading on any assignment in order to go back to your gradebook you click back up here there's a second way to get into the speed grader and that is if you click on let's look at a different kind of grading let's look at grading an assignment the origin story if you clicked on the assignment itself you should see speed grader up on the top right what it launches into speed grader you get this warning about Firefox but my experience recently is that Firefox works a little bit better with crock dock which is the internal way to grade in speed grader the way that this works is that instead of having to download a paper and mark it up and then upload it again you can do all that grading and real time right here in canvas and so if I click down and we're going to look at this students here what you can do here on the left hand side is click on this comment tab and it'll give you some other options you can from here make a point comment an area comment text comment in different points and then I can type in some sort of comment like that if I wanted to draw something I could draw and use the different colors if I wish if I wanted to highlight something I should be able to select the highlight and then highlight a certain text I wanted to do that I wanted to type in some text or if you wanted to strike out you could find some spots that particularly that maybe you wanted to let the student know that should not be included as part of the assignment and then over here on the right same as the other you are able to download the original document if you want to do that and then give the students some sort of of grade if you want to do that and you can add any comments down here comments will not submit until you click on submit so that's croc doc quick overview of croc doc and grading assignments inside of canvas now let's take a quick look we'll do this to go back to the gradebook again let's take a quick look at categories now you'll sometimes see these in the gradebook down over here on the far right there are some categories that are kind of grayed and right now we have assignments participation and a written assignments all these categories can be manipulated and found if you go back over to your assignment tab and you will see the three different categories you can move things from category to category if you wish so for instance up here in assignments I have an introduce yourself I really want that as part of participation so I'm going to click and drag that down that I have down here an assignment that I really want to have up here now you can see we have a couple quizzes and I don't have a quiz category so all you need to do in order to create a group is to do that name it and then you'll get a new category down at the bottom now what I can do is I can drag any of these quizzes from the other categories now down into the quiz category the other aspect of creating these groups is now you can create different weights so by clicking on the little gear over on the right hand side we can weight final grade based on assignment groups now from here you can decide that your quizzes you want to be worth maybe 15% they're totaling up to 100% if you do more than 100% and save it'll actually let you save it so just keep that in mind because typically you're going to want to have a hundred percent the case in which you would maybe not want to do that is that if you had something that was a category that for bonuses and you may have your total come up to more than a hundred percent but here you can create your different weights for the different categories last thing we're going to look at today is using rubrics inside of canvas and now in order to do this there's a couple different places to find the rubrics if let's look at it first in something like participation when you're adding a rubric to something like a discussion post you will find that up here under the under the mechanics the gear drop-down menu and click on show rubric and you have to add a rubric what you'll have here are basically different categories were criteria that you can fill out and give them specific points this is helpful for students to know exactly what they are earning points for it's helpful for feedback to them so they know exactly where the grades came from it's also helpful to guide the students to focus on the most important parts of an assignment and so here for this discussion post I'm going to edit the criteria the first part will be add an original thought I'm going to give that two points and add another criteria I'm going to say respond to two classmates okay and I'm going to maybe do that two points and then add a third criteria used style and we're going to give that one point totaling up five points right now I'm going to create that rubric and then show you exactly how to grade using that rubric I'm going to go back up here the speedgrader and when I come to the speedgrader here I can view rubric and then I can add the specific points to those different parts so add an original thought I'm going to say no to that but it did respond to the classmates and you can add the rubric grading from there and that is rubrics now when you come to a find a rubric on something like a written assignment let's go back to our origin story here and we'll have to go to the assignment page you will not find the rubric up there you will find the rubric adding down here at the bottom so when we click on there that is where you'll be able to add the rubric and there are lots of great examples on the web of different kinds of rubrics that you might use to increase learning and help your students focus on exactly what you're expecting from them on their assignments well there you have it just a little bit of an introduction to grading in canvas I hope that was helpful please comment below or contact me if you have any questions at all
