Canvas' default language is English, but we now support French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese.

Language preferences can be set by the user, by the instructor on a specific course, or by the site Admin for the entire account.

If you use the Google Chrome web browser to access Canvas, you can use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave text comments on student assignments in the SpeedGrader™. Chrome's speech recognition feature turns your spoken comments into text comments.

Before you can evaluate group work, you will need to assign group work. To learn more about how to review the work students have done in their groups, review the lesson here. Students can submit Google documents, Pages, and other group work as an assignment.

Canvas allows you to access SpeedGrader™ from an assignment, quiz, or graded discussion in just a few clicks.
