Canvas Auto-grading and Feedback Provision

[celestin]

Hi There, 

Does anyone know if Canvas has  feature or an integration that can help to reduce the time that teachers spend in grading, mostly written responses or essays? This can be more of using auto-grading process as well as providing feedback automatically to the work of the student. 

Thanks!

It can be done in Quiz, where you can set each part of the essay as a question, and can include some standard quiz type responses for routine stuff. I don't believe that Canvas has got as far as autograding essays by reference to text.

The quiz approach is ugly in my view but some teams swear by it. It would be good for Canvas to adopt the Quiz approach to essay/report type submissions, but without calling it Quiz !!
