Rubrics

Introduction:

The Rubrics tool can be used to create rubrics easily and efficiently within a course. You can associate rubrics with assessments and grade items; and during assessment, rubrics can standardize the evaluation of learner work and facilitate the ability to provide feedback.

FAQ Section:

• What do I do if I cannot see or use the Rubrics Tool?

  • To see and use the Rubrics tool, you must have the required Rubrics permissions applied to your role. These permissions can only be accessed by your organization administrator.
  • To add the Rubrics tool to your course navbar, you must have the required Navbar permissions applied to your role. For more information about how to add a tool or link to your course navbar, refer to the Customize your course navbar topic.
  • You can also locate available course tools by navigating to Course Admin from your navbar. If you cannot find the Rubrics tool in your Brightspace instance, contact your organization administrator to obtain required permissions.
  Can I change rubrics of content that has already been assigned?

  Rubrics that have been used to assess learners' work are locked, and it is only possible to edit text fields. To edit items such as the number of criteria or the number of achievement levels that would affect the academic integrity of a rubric already in use, you must copy the rubric and edit the new version.
