Tired of stacks of paper? Gina Brandolino, from the Sweetland Center for Writing, shares her experience moving from grading physical papers to online feedback and assessment.

Summary

Gina Brandolino moved from grading physical papers to using online tools, which enabled her to continue to hand write comments but to do so electronically. Among the benefits, she cites reclaiming class time that was previously used to return papers to students and providing students with more choice in where and when they review feedback about an assignment. Read the full newsletter article to learn more about her experience with Canvas’ SpeedGrader, Gradebook, and Assignments.
