You can create a library of rubrics and associated information. Create Folders to organize and categorize rubrics.
To add a rubric to the library, you must first create the rubric as an MS Excel® spreadsheet file.
The Excel file must have a .xls file type. A .xlsx file type will be rejected. If you are using Excel version 2007 or later, use the Save As function as select type Excel 97-2003 Workbook.
1.Add the text you want to appear as Levels in cells A2, A3, A4 and so on. Optionally, include a weight in square brackets [ ] at the end of the text. If no weight is included, a value of 1 is assumed.
2.Add the text you want to appear as Criteria in cells B1, C1, D1 and so on. Optionally include a weight in square brackets [ ] at the end of the text. If no weight is included, a value of 1 is assumed.
3.Add the text you want to appear as the rubric in the appropriate cells, e.g. B2, C2 and so on.
4.Save the file, e.g. myRubric.xls, to a folder on your workstation.
Example

2.Browse for a rubric (.xls) file

If a possible error in weighting is detected (e.g. no weights or all weights equal 1), the rubric will be flagged.
Once a rubric has been added to the library, you can use the Modify link to change the content, including weights, if required.
To link a rubric to an outcome, click the Rubric link next to the outcome and select the appropriate rubric.
