- 4. Overview • What is a Rubric? • The D2L Rubrics Tool • Creating a Rubric in D2L • Connecting an interactive Rubric to a Discussion Board Topic • Performing Assessments and Giving Feedback • How Students Access/Retrieve Feedback • Other Rubric Association Options
- 5. What is a Rubric? • A rubric is an interactive evaluation and assessment tool that can be used inside of and apart from the D2L Learning environment. • Rubrics should articulate the expectations for an assignment by describing the various evaluation levels of quality work.
- 6. The D2L Rubric Tool The D2L Rubrics tool requires an instructor to create a list of criteria as well as the various levels of achievement that a student can achieve. This tool presents a student with detailed information on the level he or she achieved for each criterion.
- 7. Creating Rubrics in D2L • Status (Draft, Published, Archived) • Rubric Type (Analytic or Holistic) • Criteria • Levels • Scoring Method (Text, Points, Custom Points)

- 11. The Rubrics Tool in D2L (Continued) • Updating Rubric Status • Fixing Mistakes • Copying Rubrics
- 12. Rubrics and the Discussion Board 1. Configure your Topic for Assessment 2. Associate your Rubric to a Topic 3. Save your changes
- 13. Workflow: Grading Topics with a Rubric Access the Assess Topic Window For a student, click the Rubric’s name [hyperlink] Complete the Rubric. Save & Close Open the Topic Score hyperlink for the same student. Enter the Rubric’s calculated score and any additional feedback. Save & Close. Repeat for each student. Publish grades to the Grades tool.
- 14. Rubrics – The Student View CANNOT ACCESS THROUGH THE DISCUSSIONS TOOL! Discussion Board Rubrics found in the User Progress tool.
- 15. Other Rubric Associations Discussion Board Topic Dropbox Folder Grade Item Quiz • Disjointed Workflow. • Rubric Results are not tied to grade/feedback. • Rubric Results in the User Progress tool. • Grade Item should not have an association to a learning activity. • Rubric results located in the Grades tool. • Seamless integration with the Dropbox and Grades tool. • Results are located in both locations. • Students can see the rubric as s/he submits files. • Disjointed Workflow. • No access to the rubric on the Grade Quiz screen. • Quiz must be associated with a grade item. • Rubric is completed within the Grades tool.

Editor's Notes
- Status Notes – Draft - The initial status of a rubric. Draft rubrics are not yet available for new associations. Published Associations can be made with published rubrics. Once a rubric has an association, you cannot change the rubric's name, description, levels, and criteria. Archived - Archived rubrics do not appear in default search results and are not available for new associations. Existing associations with archived rubrics remain functional. ------------- Type Notes – Analytic Rubrics - Most rubrics are analytic. An analytic rubric breaks performance into multiple criteria. You assess each criterion separately, resulting in an overall assessment score. Holistic Rubrics - Holistic rubrics do not break performance into separate criteria. Performance is assessed holistically, so that you consider several different criteria, but make only one overall assessment. ----------------- Criteria Notes – Criterion are the individual items or areas you are planning to assess. Examples may include Grammar/Mechanics, Development, Content, Timeliness, Citation Style, Sources. Levels Notes – Use the levels of your rubric to included detailed explanations of the characteristics of each level. For example, if you are assessing a student’s development of a particular topic, within each level of that criteria row, explain what, exactly, a level 1 submission includes. Do not simply leave these level descriptions blank. Take advantage of the opportunity to leave your students not only feedback, but a roadmap of your expectations. ----------------- Scoring Method Notes – Text Only - Performance levels indicated by Text Only. For example, three performance levels for a rubric can be "Poor", "Good", and "Excellent". Points - Similar to Text Only, but includes points to assess performance. For example, three performance levels for a rubric can be "Poor (0 points)", "Good (75 points)", and "Excellent (125 points)". Custom Points - This scoring method is only available to analytic rubrics. The Custom Points scoring method is similar to the Points scoring method, but you can customize the points given for each criterion. Chelsie’s Tip – I have several instructors who want to provide a “range” of points of their students. The only way to do this is to communicate that range in the level name. Then, assign default point value to the level. While using the rubric to assess the student, manually override the default level points to a point value within that range. For example, Level 3 of my development can be worth 7-10 points. I would set the default points for Level 3 to 7points. While scoring the student, I would click the pencil icon and change the point value to 8. I’ll save my changes and continue with my rubric assessment.
- Entering information by Criteria Entering information by Level
- Criteria groups enable you to organize your criteria into categories. Each criteria group has its own set of performance levels. This option allows you to have several different criterion that may or may not share the same level breakdown. For example, if you have a criteria for “timeliness,” the student can achieve either “on time” or “late.” But, your other criterion (content, development, grammar, etc) demands at least 3 levels. Placing your timeliness criteria in its own group allows for you to create only two levels that are independent from the other criterion levels. Reversing Level Order – If you prefer your rubrics to increase in level from L-R, you can reverse the level order. By default, D2L will setup the rubric to DECREASE from L-R. If you do choose to reverse level order, make sure that you pay close attention to your overall score section!
- It is crucial to configure the Overall Level point ranges. This output displays to the student to articulate his or her collective score on the assignment. D2L’s default breakdown may not respect the same point ranges as you intend. It is imperative that you consider updating the overall score levels to reflect the appropriate point values. Consider the perfect score on a particular assignment. Then, calculate the scoring ranges for “B” level work, “C” level, and so on.
- After you’ve completed your Rubric setup, you must then select a status. A rubric’s status indicates its availability in D2L. There are three statuses: There are three rubric status types to indicate its availability: Draft - The initial status of a rubric. Draft rubrics are not yet available for new associations. Published - Associations can be made with published rubrics. Once a rubric has an association, you cannot change the rubric's name, description, levels, and criteria. Archived - Archived rubrics do not appear in default search results and are not available for new associations. Existing associations with archived rubrics remain functional. If, after you’ve associated your rubric with a learning activity (dropbox, etc), you find that you need to make changes or corrections to that rubric, you’ll need to COPY your rubric, make the appropriate changes, publish the new rubric, and then re-associate the NEW rubric with your learning activity. Note that if you change rubrics halfway through your grading process, some grading information may be lost. You are able to associate more than one rubric to a learning activity, although that workflow is not always permitted.
- Accessing the Rubric Assess Topic Window Completing the Rubric Transferring Rubric Results to the Topic Score Publishing The Grade Confirming your work in the grades tool.
- Students will not be able to retrieve discussion grades and feedback back from within the Discussions tool. Instead, students must navigate to the gradebook in order to retrieve discussion board grades and feedback. If an instructor used a rubric to assess the discussion board posts, those rubric results are housed in the User Progress tool. The student must navigate to the User Progress tool, found within the "Course Tools" menu. Once the tool opens, the student should select the Discussions module on the left-hand side of the page. Then after the Discussions section opens, expand the topic in order to view rubric scores and feedback. The image below walks through the workflow for retrieving discussion rubric grades and feedback:
