Using SpeedGrader for Classic Quizzes in ISU Canvas

Description

This article provides instructions on how to use the SpeedGrader in Classic Quizzes in ISU Canvas at Idaho State University (ISU). If a quiz was created using the Classic Quizzes tool, instructors can choose to manually grade the same quiz question for each student before viewing student submissions for a different quiz question. Essay and file upload questions always require manual grading, but any quiz question type may be manually graded in SpeedGrader.
