SpeedGrader & Grading
Comment Library Filter
If you use the comment library in SpeedGrader, you can now filter by “All Comments,” “Course Comments,” or “Assignment Comments.” This helps you organize, locate, and reuse feedback.
Scheduled Feedback
In the Gradebook, you can manage the visibility of grades and feedback for individual assignments. By default, grades and feedback are released together; however, you can now schedule them to release separately.
Surveys
Graded/Ungraded Surveying
Instructors can now collect anonymous or non-anonymous feedback using a graded or ungraded “Survey” quiz type.
