On June 23, the Crocodoc annotation tool within EEE+ Canvas SpeedGrader will be replaced by a brand new annotation tool built in-house by Instructure.
We know that many of our instructors enjoy the convenience of annotating submitted documents in SpeedGrader and Instructure intends for the functionality of the new tool to match that of the former one, with a new, modern interface. All past comments and assignment annotations are expected to carry over into the new interface.
That said, we know that changes to a tool that you use a great deal can cause disruption. The EEE Team has had the opportunity to look at the coming update, and we’ve communicated areas of potential improvement to Instructure.
We also want you to know that, as the people who will be using the tool the most, you are our partners in gathering feedback for Instructure. We welcome the opportunity to amplify your voice so that we can advocate for any fixes or improvements, from small changes to the interface to requests for entirely new features, and everything in between.
You will see the new tool anywhere you previously saw Crocodoc. As you use it, please send any observations to eee@uci.edu, or call (949) 824-2222.
