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. It’s fast to add, edit, and delete notes. If a note already exists for a student, you can choose to replace it or append your new text. A simple “Note usage” 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. Notes are saved using Chrome Sync for your signed-in browser profile. There are no external servers. Permissions: the “tabs” permission is used only to detect Canvas SpeedGrader pages so the student name can be auto-filled. What’s new in 1.0.3: Added the Note usage indicator, storage-full protection, overwrite handling (replace or append), SpeedGrader-only auto-fill behavior, and other minor fixes and polish. What’s New in 1.0.3.2 Color selection is now working You can click a swatch to choose a note color. The chosen color is saved with the note. When editing a note, the correct color swatch is pre-selected. Improved UI feedback Selected swatches now show a clear outline and highlight, so you always know which color is active. Bug fixes & cleanup Fixed issue where color clicks had no effect. Normalized color handling to ensure consistency between saving and re-loading notes.
