1. On the navbar, click Rubrics

2. On the Rubrics page, click New Rubric

3. In the Properties tab, enter your rubric details

4. Click Save

5. Do one of the following:

• If you created an analytic rubric, click the Levels and Criteria tab, and edit your criteria and levels

• If you created a holistic rubric, click the Levels tab, and edit your levels

• Analytic: Two-dimensional rubrics with levels of achievement as columns and assessment criteria as rows. Allows you to assess participants' achievements based on multiple criteria using a single rubric. You can assign different weights (value) to different criteria and include an overall achievement by totaling the criteria. With analytic rubrics, levels of achievement display in columns and your assessment criteria display in rows. Analytic rubrics may use a points, custom points, or text only scoring method. Points and custom points analytic rubrics may use both text and points to assess performance; with custom points, each criterion may be worth a different number of points. For both points and custom points, an Overall Score is provided based on the total number of points achieved. The Overall Score determines if students meet the criteria determined by teachers. You can manually override the Total and the Overall Score of the rubric.

• Holistic: Single criterion rubrics (one-dimensional) used to assess participants' overall achievement on an activity or item based on predefined achievement levels. Holistic rubrics may use a percentage or text only scoring method.

• No Points: Performance levels indicated by text. For example, three performance levels for a rubric can be Poor, Good, and Excellent.

• Points: This scoring method is only available to analytic rubrics. Performance levels indicated by points. 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. For example, if performance levels are Poor, Good, and Excellent, then the criterion Spelling and Grammar can be worth 0 points, 10 points, and 20 points for each level, and the criterion Expression can be worth 0 points, 30 points, and 60 points, making it worth three times the points of Spelling and Grammar.

Note: If you choose a Holistic Rubric Type, you will either be able to do No Points or Percentage. The Percentage scoring method can be automatically assessed based on the score of its associated item, for example, a Grade item.

Similar to other tools, you can set a rubric's status in Brightspace:

• 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 associated with activities that were previously created but they cannot be evaluated or updated. Students continue to see student-visible rubric evaluations on archived rubrics and their scores in activity summary, user progress, and Grades.

Certainly, you can add a rubric to evaluate almost any activity in Brightspace. See the video above for more info.

The Analytic Rubric provides the ability to add multiple criteria within a rubric, while the Holistic Rubric provides one single criterion.
