Once I create a rubric, is there a way to rearrange the items, or add items into the rubric, not necessarily at the end?
@southamp and @rislis , there isn't a way to do this in Canvas right out-of-the-box, but James Jones has written an easy-to-implement Canvancement that allows you to drag and drop rubric rows: Sorting Rubrics Made Easy
A workaround if your criteria are out of order is to use the duplicate feature.
Duplicate the criteria one-by-one so that they are added to the rubric in the order you want them (each duplicated criterion is added to the bottom of the rubric in the order you duplicate them).
Then, after you have them in the order you want them, delete any criteria you no longer need. That should do it.
Hello all... I wanted to point you to a few resources which might be of help:
I haven't found a way to do this. Rubrics in Canvas are AWESOME for grading - the creation of them still needs some work. Tip: If you create an external tool assignment (like with a Google Cloud assignment), make sure you attach the rubric FIRST! If you attach the external tool, the button for adding a rubric disappears.
Utter ridiculous that you can't re-order the Rubrics by row. I found questions that are 4+ years old asking for this basic UI functionality. Doesn't have to be drag-and-drop, could simply be a "move up/move down" button. Or they could sort by name so we could hack these by naming them with 01, 02, etc. in the title.
I have to delete my entire rubric because I cant move items up and down to rearrange. this seems like a simple update that would save a lot of time for teachers. We often change rubrics from year to year.... why have to reinvent it when we could just tweak it? Come on Canvas!
Another example of utter indifference by Canvas for something as basic as this.
I have to agree that it is completely absurd not to have this functionality. Really can't believe Canvas STILL doesn't have something so obvious as this.
What nonsense that this shows up as "solved." It is absurd that we can't reorder these items.
I agree. The rubric features must be updated by Canvas.
I appreciate the contributions regarding workarounds. Thank you. However, these are still workaround for what should be a basic function.
I also appreciate the work Canvas did with NEW QUIZZES and GRADEBOOK; however, in an object-hierarchy rubrics are a more basic object in that they feed/affect quizzes and gradebook.
Deleting and rebuilding a rubric in order to re-sequence it is not acceptable.
Rubric line items must be easily re-sequenced.
Hello Canvas, it's a 2020 CoVid world! We need some help here. Are you listening?
It's really frustrating that Canvas does NOT listen to its users or even to the district tech admins about features that need to be fixed. Why can't we reorder rows on our rubrics?
As many people said, it's pretty basic UI yet very useful so please do it.
Hi, I just had the same issue and I thought about the fact that file naming is sorted alphabetically and numerically. So for my solution I just put a 1. then a 2. then a 3. and so on in front of the name of the criterion and it sorted them in that order 🙂 It's not great since it gives a numerical value to the levels of achievement, but it's a solution...
I agree. It should be possible to drag both criteria and ratings without having to resort to installing or writing script.
A teacher at my school set up her coursework category to "Drop the lowest score" in both Canvas and PowerSchool (we use both). At the end of the semester, 13 of her 78 students had different percentages, with 8 of those being corner cases, resulting different letter grades. And all of those scores were higher in Canvas. I…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
