[Rubrics] Warning When Editing a Rubric and Moving Away from the Rubric

[bfryman]

Problem statement:

When an instructor is creating a Rubric and clicks off that rubric to edit the actual assignment, all the work that they did to that rubric disappears. For instance, if you have an instructor that has already created their assignment, then they click +Rubric at the bottom of the page to add the rubric, they then get this new pop-up window to create their rubric. While editing/creating that rubric, they like the wording that they have in the rubric and decide to mirror that new wording in their assignment. When they click the assignment the new rubric disappears and they have to start all over again, there is no warning that the work they just did is not going to be saved.

Proposed solution:

We are hoping that when you click away from the rubric, Canvas gives you a warning to save that rubric. That way, the rubric you were working on would get the change to be saved, versus it just disappearing. Just like when you are editing a page, it gives you a warning when you move away from that page.

Problem statement:

I just made a rubric and forgot to hit "create" at the bottom before going to add it to the assignment it was for.

Proposed solution:

I would love some sort of warning to come up ("Your rubric has not been saved. Are you sure you want to leave this page?") before Canvas lets you navigate away from the rubric creation. If this isn't possible, if an auto-save option could be implemented, it would be very helpful This would make sure that time isn't spent on a rubric that then becomes lost when navigating through Canvas.
