Rubric html script for simplifying rubrics in Student View

[ThoJo]

I was told there was a way to create Rubrics in Canvas, using html, that will give the students a simplified look to the rubrics with a popup window when you hover over the rubric box. I was also told that you can color code rubrics in order to categorize them by year or subject. Does anyone have instructions for this or a link to a video that explains how to do this?

Hi @ThoJo 

I have been using Canvas for 8 years, working in this community just as long, and working with HTML even longer. I have never heard of this, and doubt it, because Canvas Rubrics do not include an HTML editor - however, I have been wrong before more times than I can count.

However, you might find this blog from the great @James to be useful: Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet

Hopefully, others with more skill than I, will chime in and prove me wrong!

We have used this set up for close to 6 years. However, today we saw that the HTML was stripped from the outcomes except in the gradebook and speedgrader view.

Is that from some extra setup that your sys admins created?  I agree with @kmeeusen that I have not seen it or heard about it.

It is possible to change the appearance of how the Canvas information is displayed provided you know how to write the proper javascript or other code to manipulate the data.

@ThoJo It looks like the answer is yes it is possible, but my guess is it is dependent on someone at your school doing extra programming to make it happen with your instance of Canvas.
