Grade for Student Success: More efficient, effective grading in Canvas
Created by faculty peers to address grading challenges, Grade for Student Success is a faculty guide for using Canvas to enhance student learning while making grading more efficient and customizable.
As part of the Buff Undergraduate Success initiative, a working group of nine faculty members joined the Center for Teaching & Learning and Office of Information Technology to review problem statements from faculty and students about grading and to propose solutions.
This collaborative effort has resulted in the creation of 16 comprehensive guidelines, 14 video tutorials and 26 Canvas enhancement requests designed to improve the faculty and student experience with the Canvas gradebook.
