Classic Experience: New / Edit Rubric - Levels tab

Holistic rubrics allow you to assess participants' overall achievement on an activity or item based on a single criterion using predefined achievement levels.

Holistic rubrics may use a percentages or text only scoring method. Percentage holistic rubrics have a percentage range associated with each achievement level, which allows users' quiz and grade item activities to automatically be assigned an achievement level based on their quiz score or grade. Other activities and Brightspace ePortfolio items may also be evaluated with percentage holistic rubrics, you must manually enter users' achievement levels.

Note the following:

  • The top of the page displays the rubric type and scoring method. You can change the type and scoring method at any time; however, this may cause a loss of data.
  • As you add or edit rubric information, your changes are automatically saved.
  • You can re-order criterion via drag and drop or using your keyboard.
  • A rubric description is what is required to achieve the level for each criterion. Achievement level descriptions help evaluators determine which level best reflects a user's achievement. The more detailed your descriptions are, the more consistent evaluations will be.
  • You can add bolding, italics, and lists to rubric descriptions. You can also use Insert Stuff to add third-party content, for example, images. Rubric descriptions do not support replace strings and additional HTML code.
  • You can add predefined feedback that appears to users who achieve a specific level, and it is an easy way to communicate a rubric's evaluation methodology. Predefined feedback does not support HTML.
  • If you are creating a holistic rubric that uses a percentage scoring method, enter a start range. The start range for your lowest achievement level is automatically set to 0%. The start range for other levels should be the lowest percentage acceptable for the level. The highest percentage is determined by the start range for the level above.

For example, the Research Paper rubric might contain the following levels:

Excellent

80%

Good

70%

Competent

60%

Inadequate

0%
