ITS is pleased to highlight Canvas tools and features that can help faculty and students achieve their goals. This week's tip is:
Record Voice or Video Comments in Speed Grader
When grading assignments using Speed Grader, you can enter comments for the students. In addition to typed comments, you can also record a media comment (voice or video). This can save time and allow you to create conversational feedback. Instructions are included in the guide below.

The Alfred University Office of Public Safety reminds motorists to park in designated parking areas throughout campus.
If you're unsure where parking is permitted, please refer to our Vehicle Regulations and Parking Map.
The university also asks that motorists avoid parking in front of dumpsters. Blocked dumpsters prevent the refuse collection company from emptying them and can cause service delays. Public Safety will continue to issue parking violations as needed.
