Download feedback from SpeedGrader

As an instructor, you may need to download feedback files from Canvas. Currently, Canvas allows you to download a pdf that includes Markup and a separate file that includes a grade and feedback files.

Step 1

Navigate to the SpeedGrader for the assignment, either through the assignments tab or through the grade book.


Step 2

Select the student from the drop down menu at the top right of SpeedGrader.


Step 3

Download (a) the inline comments and markup and (b)the end comment with the grade

(A) The inline comments and markup

The markup can be downloaded from a button on the top left of the grading window.

The download icon is on the left margin of the grey bar.

Inline comments will appear as embedded comments in a pdf. The pdf can be opened with any pdf viewer.

(B) The end comment and the grade

The numeric score and the comments can be downloaded at the bottom of the grading panel on the right side of the screen.

Scroll to the bottom to find the download link.


Sharing the Rubric

Currently, Canvas does not allow you to download and print a copy of the rubric. If you must have a file version of the rubric to print or share, taking a screenshot may be best
