View All Students One Question at a Time in Speedgrader

A teacher wants to be able to view/grade one quiz question at a time for all of her students. Currently, the default view in Canvas only lets you grade one student at a time. Canvas support says this feature is currently unavailable, but I am curious if someone has found a better way of grading a classroom set of quizzes and is able to see the results of the assessment by question instead of by students.

perhaps I misunderstand, but this seems to be a functional feature. try here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-one-quiz-question-at-a-time-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1002

Hi @DaneForlenza

"Grade by question" is an option in classic quizzes (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-one-quiz-question-at-a-time-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1002 ) and New Quizzes ( https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-grade-a-New-Quizzes-quiz-question-one-at-a-time-in/ta-p/566788 ), but I don't know of an option to display and grade all the students' answers to a particular question at the same time.

This is still an issue in 2025. SpeedGrader only allows you to see one student's answer at a time. We should be able to sort answers and then assign feedback based on grouping answer types. This is a barrier to consistent grading for any short answer question.

Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ?
