Content
1. You cannot import/export Rubrics
Unfortunately, it is not possible to import or export Rubrics from and to Brightspace.
1.1. Print or export to PDF
If you still want to export a completed rubric, click on CTRL+P and save as a PDF.
Teachers can now print or download a PDF of a sample or graded rubric. Students can also print or download a PDF of an assessment from Brightspace. The print button appears above the top right corner of the assessment.
2. Copy a Rubric into another course
Via Copy courses you can copy Rubrics from course to course. Check the boxes of the Rubrics you want to copy, or check the Rubrics box if you want to copy them all.
3. Where do students see the Rubric?
If a Rubric is linked to an assignment or discussion topic and is set to visible, the students can see the Rubric before starting an assignment or participating in a discussion (unless set otherwise).
Students can see their completed Rubric with feedback in the following places:
- Grades
- Assignments tool
- Discussions tool
4. Can I post a Rubric as a content item?
Yes, that is possible!
- Go to the content of your course
- Click on the page where you want to place the rubric
- Click on the three dots and select Edit

- Click the Insert Quicklink symbol

- Choose Rubrics
- Click the rubric you want to post on the page

Please note that this rubric is only available for students to view. If you want to actually assess students using it, you must always link the rubric to an assignment.
If it concerns an oral assessment, select Observed in Person when creating the assignment.
5. Adjust rubrics after review
Unfortunately, it is not possible to change a Rubric after a student's assessment has been posted. The following error message will then also appear on the screen. We therefore advise you to create and check the Rubric in good time so that there are as few spelling errors as possible. Comments/adaptations can be made to the assessments themselves.
