Why can't I simply upload an existing rubric created for a specific course (in the same way that I can upload a syllabus)?
The rubric template that comes up automatically in Canvas is too difficult to edit and does not meet my needs.
@GemmaFigaro ...
I agree with you...adding/editing rubfics in a Canvas course can be a challenge. Fortunately, @James Jones has come up with a very handy "Canvancement" (Canvas Enhancement) that allows you to upload rubrics that are created using an Excel spreadsheet. I have used this countless times, and it has saved me hours upon hours of work. I'd encourage you to take a look at: Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). It's a lot of information, but James also has a handful of videos near the bottom of his posting along with the installation instructions (which I used the Tampermonkey extension in conjunction with Google Chrome). You can leave feedback on his blog if you have questions...or you can also leave questions here in this topic.
I hope this will be of some help to you. Sing out if there are questions.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
