In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore various tools for evaluating student writing in Canvas, UW-Madison’s new learning management system. We will try out Canvas’ SpeedGrader application and other tools, which can be used to annotate student drafts, create rubrics for writing assignments, and respond efficiently and effectively to short writing assignments, even in large lecture classes. We will also think critically about the strengths and limitations of Canvas and look at examples of how instructors across campus use it to incorporate and teach writing in their classes. Before the workshop wraps up, there will be time for you to plan ways to use Canvas for your own classes.
