This article covers important information and tips and tricks regarding Rubrics.
The content of this article contains:
1. You can not import Rubrics
Unfortunately, it is not possible to import Rubrics into/from Brightspace.
You can, however, copy Rubrics across courses.
1.1. Print or export to PDF
Instructors can now print or download a PDF of a preview or evaluated rubric. Students can also print or download a PDF of a rubric from the desktop browser implementation of Brightspace Learning Environment. If you do want to export the assessed rubric, click CRTL+P and save as PDF.
2. Copy a Rubric into another course
You are able to copy Rubrics across courses via Copy Components .
Check the Rubrics box if you want to copy all rubrics from that course, or choose a specific Rubric to copy.
3. Where do students see the Rubric?
- If a Rubric is associated to an assignment or a discussion topic and set to visible, students can see the Rubric before they start the assignment or participate in the discussion.
- Students can see their completed Rubric including feedback in the following places:
- Grades
- Assignments tool
- Discussions tool
4. Can I place a Rubric as a content item?
Yes, you can!
Either via Insert Quicklink or via Add Existing Content. In both cases, the student will see the Rubric in the same way. However, we strongly recommend using the Insert Quicklink way.
Why should I use Insert Quicklink?
In some cases, you might want to use a Rubric without linking it to a Brightspace assignment or discussion topic (e.g. oral examination). In case you want to share the Rubric with the students as preparation and add a description/text as an explanation, you should place the rubric as Quicklink in an HTML file.
Why should I choose Add Existing Content?
In case you only want to share the Rubric, without any instructions or context, it can be quicker to just add a Rubric as a topic in a course. Please see image above how it will be presented in your course.
5. Editing a Rubric after evaluation
Unfortunately, it is not possible to adjust a Rubric after the evaluation of a student. The following notification will show. We advise you to check the Rubric before publishing. It is possible to make comments in the evaluation of students, which can be adjusted at all times.
