SpeedNotes

Quickly save notes for students in SpeedGrader and sync them across devices.

SpeedNotes lets teachers jot quick notes about students and see those notes automatically when grading in Canvas SpeedGrader. Click the extension icon to add a note for any student from any page. When you open SpeedGrader, SpeedNotes shows that student's note automatically. If you create a note while in SpeedGrader, the student name is auto-filled; you can also type names manually on other pages. Notes are saved using Chrome Sync for your signed-in browser profile, so they stay in sync across your devices. There are no external servers. A simple "Storage" percentage helps you understand how much space is left, and the extension prevents saves that would exceed the storage limit so you don't lose work. Permissions: the "tabs" permission is used only to detect Canvas SpeedGrader pages so the student name can be auto-filled. What's new in 1.1.1: New SpeedGrader support — Works with Canvas's new SpeedGrader interface. Expanded storage — Notes are now stored individually rather than in a single block, giving you roughly 12x more space. You shouldn't hit a storage limit anymore. Multiple notes per student — Save more than one note for each student. All entries display together, newest first. Timestamps — Every new note is automatically dated. Older notes saved before this update will show "No date." Edit in place — Click the pencil icon on any note entry to edit it directly. Per-note colors — Each note entry keeps its own color, so you can color-code different types of feedback. Visual refresh — Clean, modern design with softer colors, rounded corners, and smooth animations. Title case — ALL CAPS student names from Canvas are automatically displayed as Title Case.
