Missing some of the most important features from SpeedGrader – Canvas Teacher Review

Here’s the issue: when grading assignments with an iPad on this new “Teacher” app, if you hold the iPad in landscape orientation, you know, like literally every keyboard case does, there is this GIGANTIC score tab on the right side of the screen that’s taking-up about half the screen. That wouldn’t be all that bad if there was a way to hide it, but for some reason, and I still cannot fathom what that reason is, there is no way to minimize it, hide it, swipe it off screen to the right, etc. (which, by the way, was something you could do with the previous SpeedGrader app). Nope, it’s just stuck there, literally taking-up half the screen. But, if you hold the iPad in portrait orientation, you can minimize the scoring tab to the bottom of the screen. The result is that the “paper”/assignment is actually displayed larger when the iPad is in portrait orientation than it is in landscape. Another thing, and this one isn’t quite as much of an issue, is that I see no way to select seeing the submissions of just one, specific section, meaning there’s no way for me to see only my 5th period submissions. Again, this was something that could be done with the “old” SpeedGrader app. Generally, I really love Canvas, and, overall, I’m very pleased with my experience with it. But, I’m very frustrated in being forced to use these “new”/“better” apps that actually do less, or, at least in my case, make using them MUCH more difficult/less efficient.
