It is too bad, but we can always give it another try!
Your idea will open for voting December 2nd!
This idea has moved to the next stage and will be open for voting among the Canvas Community, from Wed. December 2, 2015 - Wed. March 2, 2016.
Check out this doc for additional details about how the voting process works!
Being able to grade individual essay quiz questions using a rubric would improve the administration and assessment of timed essay writing.
I'm very glad to see this idea resurrected. It would be a very significant improvement, and allow me to use Canvas as the platform for my final exams, which are all short essay questions.
This is a must when it comes to standards based quiz design. We do not teach a TEK at a time and we need the ability to label each piece. We also need the ability to dual code those if need be.
This is a feature that really expedites grading when I am looking for specific things. Schoology has this feature.

Hi Pamela Costa
We love seeing your excitement! This idea did reach the 100 vote threshold that identifies it as a community priority. Per the process, this idea will be taken to the product team for review, research, scoping, and assessment of available resources. This idea could then continue through some of the progressive stages, or it could go to archive for a while.
It would be so helpful to be able to attach a rubric to an essay question instead of having only one rubric for the entire quiz. If I had the option to attach a rubric to the question, I could have a variety of questions in a quiz and give rubric-based feedback on just the essay questions, or I could have several essays and vary the rubrics for different outcomes.
Out of curiosity, are you all interested in attaching a rubric to an individual quiz question sot hat you can align outcomes at a more granular level? Or do you simply need to attach a rubric to quiz questions for short answer responses?
The former! I need a rubric for each quiz question, in order to effectively use the Quiz tool for major final exams.
Both. For the former, it's better for learning outcome assessment and integrating individual courses at the program curriculum level. For the latter, it keeps grading objective and efficient.
The latter. I only need to have each essay/short answer question with its own rubric for grading purposes.
With new quizzing engine under way, this feature will be heavily considered. My colleague Jason Sparks and I understand the need here. Our teams are working feverishly on the new quizzing engine...stay tuned with updates!
This would certainly be helpful for teachers/schools using standards based grading
We are very confident this will be part of our new quizzing engine. However, I am not confident that it will not get done in the next 6 months. So we are archiving it but that doesn't mean its not happening. We appreciate everyones feedback and conversation!
OK, so we are way past that 6 month mark. Will it be here soon???
Having a rubric for each individual question is important so that students can receive individualized feedback for each question. I hope this idea becomes a reality soon!
This would be really helpful when there are mixed questions on a quiz. It would also help with student feedback and aligning their scores with evidence.
It makes no sense to me to have an overall rubric for a test. From a grading perspective, it's so much easier to show students what they've done correctly/incorrectly in each question rather than in the whole quiz. This should be a very high priority.
This is very important. Not just for essay type questions, though. students need feedback, not just a number, and the rubric would enable some details to be quickly selected without having to write detailed comments.
A file upload question could benefit from adding a rubric for each question.
How do I get an update on the status of this feature?
Comment from Instructure above:
September 2016 update from Mccall Smith
We are very confident this will be part of our new quizzing engine.
This feature is crucial for what my students who are learning to paraphrase. I need to tell them WHY they get full credit or partial credit. Is it in their own voice? Did it merely swap in synonyms? Does it make sense? Is the idea accurately expresses?
So Sept 2016 was a year ago, why is this feature not available yet, could really use this today, for my test.
Any idea when this will be implemented? Question rubrics help ensure fast, consistent, and fair grading of essay questions. It is a must-have feature!
I've looked at quizzes.next, and it mentions a Notes field for grading essays. Are there plans to expand that Notes field to accommodate a full-blown rubric?
I have to agree with the comments made here. Is there any progress with this feature? Can somebody confirm that it will be available in the new LTI? Using rubrics for marking constructed response assessments such as essays or file uploads is really a must feature.
This would be so helpful for me!!! I hope it moves forward!
Wheeeennnnnn????? When, when, when?
It is not reasonable for a test to be implemented as 2 assignments: a Quiz for the multiple choice section AND a separate Canvas assignment for the essay -- this is what we have to do if we want to grade an essay question with a rubric. This is silly! We need rubrics for essay questions, specially when aligning grades with other teachers. Please can you add this feature.
COME ON, people!!! We're tasked with assessment of our Departments at EVERY college in Washington. That means we need to collect data on individual questions on tests. I can't collect data unless I have rubrics that relate back to the individual questions. This issue needs to be prioritized!
Solution 1: (Not the best) A "master rubric" for all questions in a test, so that all are ranked the same.
Solution 2: (Better) Individualized rubrics that allow for the ranking of each question according to customized criteria.
I can't do my job until you fix this!!!! Do not make the Gods of Assessment angry!!!
The Radar idea stage has been removed from the Feature Idea Process. You can read more about why in the blog post Adaptation: Feature Idea Process Changes.
This change will only impact the stage sort of this idea and will not change how it is voted on or how it is considered during prioritization activities. This change will streamline the list of ideas 'open for voting', making it easier for you to see the true top voted ideas in one sort, here.
I found this idea was posted before, too bad it was just below the 100 vote mark!!
Allow rubrics to be used for quiz question grading
