If a Google Drive or Microsoft Office 365 assignment upload is queued for submission, an Uploading image displays in place of the student submission [1]. An Uploading icon also displays next to the assignment link [2].

When a Google Drive or Microsoft Office 365 assignment submission fails to upload, or when viewing an unsupported file type in SpeedGrader, an Upload Failed image displays [1]. Failed submission uploads display an Upload Failed icon next to the assignment link [2].

SpeedGrader displays assignment submissions according to the current Gradebook settings for inactive enrollments and concluded enrollments. If an assignment includes a submission from an inactive or concluded student, a notice appears at the top of the SpeedGrader window.

For group assignments where students are graded as a group, the group displays as long as there is at least one active student in the group. If there are no active students in the group, the group displays if one group member aligns with the enrollment settings in the Gradebook. For group assignments where students are graded individually, individual student submissions display according to the enrollment settings in the Gradebook.

Inactive student submissions can still be graded in SpeedGrader, but students do not receive any notifications about their assignment and cannot view course grades.

Concluded student submissions are read-only; they cannot be graded or receive comments.

Note: If a student does not have a submission for the assignment, the student may have been deactivated or concluded before being able to submit the assignment.

If your course uses multiple grading periods, a notice appears at the top of the SpeedGrader window if an assignment is in a closed grading period. Assignments in a closed grading period cannot be edited.

In the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can view the submission details [1], including the date and time of the submission; if an assignment was resubmitted, you can view previous versions of the submission.

You can also download the submission file by clicking the link [2].

Complete the assessment of the submission by entering a grade in the Grade field [1] or using a rubric, if available, by clicking the View Rubric button [2].

In the Assignment Comments section of the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can type feedback comments [1] or insert a comment from the Comment Library [2].

You can attach files to comments [3], record or upload media [4], or translate spoken comments into text using Chrome's speech recognition feature [5].

You can also download all submission comments [6].

Note: Assignment comments also display as a new thread in Conversations.

In the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can reassign an assignment. To reassign the assignment to the student, submit at least one comment to the student's submission [1]. Then click the Reassign Assignment button [2].

To resubmit the assignment, a student can view the assignment as a To Do item in their List View Dashboard.

In the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can view the student's assignment submission status [1].

To edit the submission status, click the Edit button [2]. Available statuses include Late, Missing, Excused, and None.

The Sections drop-down menu in the  Modernized SpeedGrader Platform has a more streamlined and user-friendly interface.

If a student has not submitted an assignment, the  Modernized SpeedGrader Platform displays a more prominent "No Submission" alert.

If there are no active students or no gradable submissions in a course, the Modernized SpeedGrader Platform displays an empty course view.

To edit the submission status on the Modernized SpeedGrader Platform, click the Status drop-down menu.

The Late status indicates an assignment that was submitted after the due date. To select a Late status, click the Late option [1].

The Missing status indicates an online assignment that has not been submitted and is past the due date. To select a Missing status, click the Missing option [2].

The Excused status indicates that the student has been excused from making a submission. Students are not able to submit excused assignments, and excused assignments are not calculated in the student's total grade. To select an Excused status, click the Excused option [3]. You can also excuse an assignment by typing EX in the assignment cell.

The Extended status allows instructors to provide extra time for a student to submit an assignment. To Select an Extended status, click the Extended option [4].

The None status indicates that no status exists, or that the assignment was turned in before the due date. To select no status, click the None option [5].

You can also update any late or missing assignment to have no status if you do not want a label displayed in the student's grades page.

SpeedGrader 2 automatically displays Rubrics in the traditional view. You can also choose additional rubric views.
