Brightspace Assignment Grader for Android
I've used this app to grade with some success. When it works, life is good. But lately, when I record audio feedback and scores for students in offline mode the app loses the feedback and rubric scores for most of the class. It seems to download student data off the server instead uploading scores and feedback. That's unacceptable. Hours of work are then lost and my time is valuable.
When I try to read the assignments that my students have posted, they have uploaded their assignments in Word (.docx) format. This app will not render their assignments like it does on my laptop. When I tell it to open with Word on my tablet, I get the message that the file isn't compatible with the Word version on my tablet. What does all this mean? I cannot grade any assignments with this app. Nada. I'm sad because I would really like this app to work.
I far prefer grading in the app compared to a laptop. But I can no longer preview a word document within the grader. Nor can I download documents to grade offline. The error message I get when I try and look at a student Dropbox submission is "Failed Preparing File for Annotation." It would also be nice if student audio or video submissions downloaded.
Can't even open the app without it crashing.
Needs the same abilities as the ios version!
about time. It came out but it has the. Same issue the iOS has rubric marking. My rubric is out of 25 but it sees it as 85. On website its fine. Wait for not working app. Enter marks manually its okay

Alright, I finally figured out how to annotate using this app. Unlike the iOS version, there is no 'free writing'; you can only draw one line at a time. How can I give written feedback one line at a time?
