Canvas: Rubrics
Rubrics Overview
Rubrics allow an instructor to define assignment criteria so students know how they will be assessed on an assignment. For example, if an instructor wants students to participate in the online discussion board, they could create a rubric that uses the criteria: quality, quantity, replies to peers, and contribution. By setting forth the blueprint, students will know what is expected of them and the instructor can assess students on the desired criteria to ensure students are completing what is expected.
This lesson will review how to build, manage, and add rubrics to assignments and graded discussions in Canvas.
