- In Course Navigation, click the Rubrics link.
- Click the Add Rubric button.
- In the Title field, add a title for the rubric. This title identifies the rubric so it can be easily associated with an assignment, graded discussion, or quiz.
-
The rubric includes one default criterion entry. To edit the criterion description, click the Edit icon.
Note: Currently criterion cannot be reordered after they are added to a rubric. If you want to display criterion in a specific order, make sure you create them in the order that you prefer.
- Enter a short description for the criterion in the Description field [1]. To add a longer description to the criterion, enter a longer description [2]. The longer description provides students more information about the criterion. Click the Update Criterion button [3].
-
By default, rubric ratings are created as individual point values. If you want to create a point range instead, click the Range checkbox [1]. Ranges allow you to assign a rating for a range of point options instead of just one point value.
When enabled, the first rating (full marks) shows the total point value in a range format [2]. Each rating displays a maximum and minimum point value. For each rating, the maximum value is assigned as the point value.
Except for the range value display, criterion ranges function the same way as individual point ratings. For instance, a range that includes a maximum of five points and a minimum of three points is assigned the full point value of five points.
-
Rubric ratings default to 5 points, awarding 5 points for full rubric marks and 0 points for no rubric marks.
If you want to adjust the total point value of the criterion, enter the number of points in the Points field [1]. The first rating (full marks) updates to the new total point value and any incremental ratings adjust appropriately [2].
- To add a new rating for the criterion, click the Add icon.
In the Edit Rating window, complete the rating criterion description. By default, the Rating Score field displays the point value between the two existing ranges [1]. To change the point value for the rating score, enter the new point value in the Rating Score field. Points can be whole (1, 5, 10) or decimal (0.3, 0.5, 2.75) numbers. However, if you are using a range, point values should be whole numbers.
In the Rating Title field [2], enter a title for the rating.
In the Rating Description field [3], enter a description for the rating.
Click the Update Rubric button [4].
-
To edit a rating, click the Edit icon [1]. Editing a specific rating value affects the full point value for the criterion. If you adjust the point value of a rating, the value of all ratings will adjust and create the updated point value for the criterion.
To delete a rating, click the rating's Delete icon [2]. Note that you cannot delete the first and last rating for the criterion.
To delete the entire criterion, click the criterion Delete icon [3].
-
To add another criterion, click the Add Criterion link [1]. To create a new criterion, click the New Criterion option [2]. To duplicate an existing criterion, click the name of the criterion you want to duplicate [3].
