Graded in SpeedGrader
Professors grade where they already grade. Nothing new to learn.
For professors & TAs
Grade where you already grade.
Entries arrive as PDFs in your existing Canvas assignments. Open SpeedGrader, grade as usual. See any student's full notebook whenever you need the history.
Built by a professor who grades a stack of these every week.
Canvas & privacy
Least-privilege by design.
Seven scopes, read & submit only. It can list a student's courses and assignments and submit their own work. That's it.
No grade access. Grades are never read, written, or stored. Grading stays entirely inside SpeedGrader.
One-click SSO for schools. Institutional licenses get a dedicated subdomain with Canvas SSO — no new passwords.

What does a school license include?
A dedicated subdomain (school.labnotebook.io), Canvas SSO, and every student free — flat pricing.
