How do I create a Rubric?
Please see here for video's on creating different kind of Rubrics
Create a Rubric
- Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course
- Click on Course Admin
- Click on Rubrics
- Click on New Rubric
You will see the screen below:
Although a Rubric is set to Published, students are not able to see the Rubric. This depends on Rubric Visibility and if a Rubric is associated to an assignment/discussion. So, don't worry about setting the status to Published!
- Enter a name for the Rubric
- Leave the Rubric Status to Published
- Rubrics set to “Draft” or “Archived”, will not be able to be linked to an assignment/discussion etc.
- In the top bar you can:
-
Levels: You can rename the levels as you like
- Use the plus icons left and right of the levels to add levels.
- You can alter the amount of points for each individual level.
- Click on the bin icon to delete a level.
-
Criteria: For each criterion you can add a description and possibly a specific feedback for that criterion.
- Under Initial Feedback you can add possible criterion-specific feedback. Note that this feedback will not be displayed in the general feedback.
- On the right you will see the amount of points a student can get for each criterion.
- Click on the bin icon on the right to delete a criterion.
- In case you want to group criteria to structure your Rubric, click on Add Criteria Group to add another matrix to the rubric.
- The Rubrics tool automatically saves your progress
The Overall Score only tells a student how much he or she could improve. It is a separate feature within the Rubrics tool.
The Total Score is the score that is transferred to Grades after assessment.
- The Overall Score is located separately below each of the criterion groups. Here you can specify the performance levels based on the score the student can achieve in total.
- For each level, enter how many points a student must achieve to accomplish that level.
- The plus icons allow you to add levels. You can remove levels using the bin icon.
- You can enter feedback for each level (in the example, students can read what they have to do to reach a certain level, and what can be done to reach a higher level the next time).
- Click on Options to open more settings.
- Select whether students are able to see the rubric:
- Rubric is visible to students: students can always see the rubric as soon as they can see the activity the rubric is linked to.
- Rubric is hidden from students: students cannot see the rubric.
- Rubric is hidden from students until feedback is published: students can only see the rubric if you have published the feedback for the activity the rubric is linked to.
- Select Hide Scores from students if you do not want to show the scores to students.
- You can add a short description to the rubric.
- Make sure the box of Competencies is checked! If the box is not checked, you will not be able to associate a rubric an assignment/discussion etc.
Click on Close to close the rubric and return to the rubrics homepage.
