Add rubrics to items

Some items may require manual scoring using a rubric.

1. From the main navigation menu, choose Items, then click New Item (Redesigned).

2. Alternatively, you can select the global search icon, and then click Edit for the respective item in the Results list.

3. Enter the item Properties.

4. Select Build.

5. Select Instructions to add an instructions block to the item.

6. Optionally, click Add Rubric to add a rubric for Draw, Extended Text, or Upload interactions.

   

   Add Rubric is inactive until you click inside the instructions block.

7. Use the filters to search for a rubric.

8. Select the desired rubric.

9. Click OK.

   

   • You can add multiple rubrics in one block; however, do not add duplicate rubrics within a single item.
   • You can only apply scores to a rubric once, and those scores are automatically applied to the duplicate rubric. To score each rubric independently, you must insert or make two unique items with the rubric included.

10. Use the Permissions to choose who can display the instructions.

    • Scorer makes the rubric available when scoring items with manually scoreable interaction types.

    • Student makes the contents of the instruction block available to students when taking tests online.

11. Click Save.

To ensure that your manually-scored interaction correctly generates a scoring assignment for the test:

• The rubric must be attached to the item.

• The rubric must be within an instructions block.

• Scorer permissions must be selected.

To adhere to QTI requirements, the instructions block containing the rubric cannot be nested within a table or another interaction block.
