Option to Use Stylus with Speedgrader on Ipad

[W9500009]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Hey All,

As of now, Canvas Speedgrader allows the use of a stylus/pen via the mouse on a standard computer monitor. However, when logged in on an Ipad, the option to use a stylus/pen to grade in Speedgrader disappears. I would like the feature added for use on Ipads so that we may use a Stylus to grade assignments on the Ipad instead of having to print assignments, grade, and scan back in.

Thank you!

Jeff (or others grading with a stylus on the Surface Pro), are you using the web version of Canvas or the Speedgrader app?  Is the experience better on one or the other. (including  @cstellre ‌ for her information)

Thanks for your time!

Hi all,

An instructor I worked with last summer was interested in using a stylus on

her Surface Pro to mark up student submissions. She would up using

DrawBoard on her Surface and uploading the marked up assignment to Canvas.

Not ideal.

With a Surface Pro or any other 2-in-1 device, is it possible to use the stylus to annotate documents directly in Speedgrader?

[benjamin_bradsh]

Kind of... unless there's a 'real' option there.

If you click on 'draw', it will pick up a tool that you can draw with using a mouse. The stylus should act like a mouse pointer then and let you write on it.

However, there is a bit of an issue with the resolution the draw tool can pick up. Writing doesn't come out smooth and handwritten at all.

You must show me….

 @jayde_colquhoun ‌ Have you seen this?

I am eagerly waiting to hear of any updates. Could you imagine annotations using a stylus on the iPad? 

[jayde_colquhoun]

Imagine! How progressive would that be! Love it. Also eagerly awaiting!
