Moving Criterion in a Rubric

Mich2023

I have created a rubric for a practical assessment but foolishly missed off a criterion. I need to move it up the rubric, currently, it sits at the end of a 93-point criterion and doesn't follow the required process. Can I move it?

The ability to reorder criterion is not present within the native Canvas interface.

I did write a script eight years ago that you can run that allows you to drag the criterion to where you want it. As far as I know, it still works. See Sorting Rubrics Made Easy

There is another option with a different script I wrote 6.5 years ago. You can create a rubric in a spreadsheet and then copy/paste it into Canvas and it will create the rubric for you. For major rubrics like yours, that might be a better long-term approach. It does not support the detailed description, though. See Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet

Both of those are userscripts and need a userscript manager. I recommend Tampermonkey, but if you have a Mac and have recently upgraded to Sonoma, there's a problem with Safari and Tampermonkey right now outside of my control. I recommend using it with Chrome.

There are other, more technical ways to create rubrics using the back-end of Canvas, but since you have all of the work done, the first one is going to be the quickest way.
