What Does The New Rubric Grading Look Like?

What Does The New Rubric Grading Look Like?

• The new rubric grading is consistent across all workflows and tools
• It auto-saves your changes as you grade
• It separates rubric Total from Overall Score making it possible to communicate both the numeric grade, and the level of achievement to learners
• It works the same whether you have Learning Objectives associated or not
• It has a responsive mobile view making it attractive to grade on tablets and phones

In summary, here are the key new best practices to keep in mind:

• Since rubric work is auto-saved, there is no need to continuously Save the rubric. Instead, use the Publish and Save Draft options to make feedback visible immediately or later.
• Leave overall activity feedback in Overall Feedback for the activity, and not in the rubric. It will display to the learner in a nice consistent block, followed by a completed rubric with detailed criteria feedback.
• Reserve the use of rubric criteria feedback for assessor additional comments (in plain text). Criteria feedback will not be copied to Overall Feedback for the activity.
• Be assured that your learners will see your rubric and overall activity feedback in a consistent presentation across User Progress, Content, Assignments, Discussions and Grades
• Treat rubric Total as the numeric score that is transferred and communicated in Grades. Use Level Achieved as additional information of overall achievement. Note that it will be possible to exclude the Level Achieved section in the future.
• Be assured that the Scoring Rubric automatically contributes to the activity Score.
• In the case of multiple rubrics, choose whether you want to assess an individual rubric or all rubrics in the same dialog in Assignments
• Choose the rubric visibility setting to control whether the rubric is intended for communication of feedback to the learner or for other assessment purposes.
• Do not associate a rubric directly with quizzes as this feature is being removed. Our intent is to introduce rubrics for the Written Responses question type at a future date.
  Note: The ability to associate a rubric with a quiz was removed as planned in December 2018 when we fully transitioned clients to the new quiz question authoring experience.
