Advantages of uploading a file:

  • Supports a variety of file types (e.g., PDF, images, Word documents, etc.).
  • Teacher can view the file in Speedgrader without downloading it.
  • Teacher can leave comments & annotations directly on PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, and Word documents with Crocodoc.

Disadvantages of uploading a file:

  • Students must have access to another program through which to type their submissions.
  • The Canvas previewer that allows the teacher to view the student submission and annotate it with Crocodoc does not support Pages (.pages) or Keynote (.key) file submissions.
