Create & Edit

In this tab you can create new rubrics from scratch or edit existing rubrics.

Rubrics are divided up into categories, so to create a new category scroll down to the bottom of the window and enter a name for the category (for example: "Thesis & Claim") and then the "Add" button.

Once you have a new category, you'll see 5 things: a hyphen in brackets like this: [-], a remove button, a color box, a textbox with the name of the category, and on the next line a plus (+) button.

• Clicking on the hyphen will hide all of the sub-categories to make the interface easier to read and have less clutter
• Clicking on "Remove" will delete this category from the rubric (and all sub-categories)
• Clicking on the color box opens a color picker which is the color used to highlight parts of the Student's Document regarding this category
• The text box with the name of the category allows you to type and rename the category
• Clicking on the plus (+) button will allow you to create sub-categories which is explained below

If you wish to add sub-categories, click on the plus button and it will add a new sub-category field. This will have 3 new options: an (X) button, a checkbox for requiring explanation, and a text field with the name of the sub-category.

• Clicking the (X) button will delete this sub-category
• Checking the box "Requires Explanation" means that the student must explain how they resolved the issue marked by this sub-category
• The text box with the name of the sub-category allows you to type and rename the sub-category

Once you are satisfied, simply click Save at the bottom and you should see your new rubric in the Select tab.

To edit an existing rubric, simply load one of your rubrics from the drop-down box high-lighted below:

Simply go through the same steps as "Creating a Rubric" to make any changes and click Save at the bottom.
