I'm trying to add a criteria into a rubrics. I only see an option to add a criteria at the very end. Is there a way to re-order the criteria within the rubrics?
Thanks
Hi @NehaGulati,
With the standard rubrics in Canvas, unless you're using some kind of modification script, you can't add a criteria in the middle of others. Unfortunately, you also can't rearrange things, so if you need to add something in the middle it would be a lot of retyping.
The good news is that Instructure is currently developing what they call "enhanced rubrics" which have a lot more features, but also some added complexity because of the extra features. You may or may not have access to these in your Canvas course, depending what your school/institution administrators have enabled for you. You can read more about the enhanced rubrics in the Enhanced Rubrics User Group.
I hope this helps, even if it's not the info you hoped to hear right away.

Hi there, @NehaGulati ...
In addition to what @chriscas has mentioned, if you are still using the standard rubrics, @James Jones has developed a script that allows you to re-order rubrics. You can find it at:
Sorting Rubrics Made Easy - Instructure Community - 272179
This is one of his many Canvancements - Canvas Enhancements - Instructure Community - 246997 that you can check out whenever you want.
I hope this will be of some help to you. If you have questions about James' script, I would encourage you to post your question(s) to James' blog post.
Good luck!
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
