Copying Rubrics from one course to another

[DINAAUDETTE]

Is there a way to copy rubrics from one of my course to another course?

Yes, when you're adding a rubric to an assignment, you will see an option to "Find a Rubric" in another course

Hi @DINAAUDETTE,

In addition to the method @jerry_nguyen outlined, you can also import rubrics from one course into another using the course import tool and selecting specific content (just select the rubrics from the options that appear when you're selecting content).

Let us know if these methods work for you!

The "Find a Rubric" feature isn't a great option since when it brings up the locations of rubrics, the pop-up window has course numbers, but not the related term. So, it's a time-consuming guessing game to locate the right rubric.

I have some potentially good news for you.  The awesome @James Jones has a script that you can put in your browser which sorts the courses in the "Find a Rubric" screen so that the current course you're logged into always appears at the top.  This is part of his "Canvancements" (Canvas Enhancements).  Check out Sorting the Find a Rubric dialog.  Hopefully you'll find this as useful as I have!

Hi Chris, 

Yes, James' script would be wonderful!!! However, the challenge is that our IT team would have to update each faculty member's computer to install Tampermonkey and the script. Oh, and our university faculty work from their laptops as well, so those would have to be updated/maintained as well. This wouldn't be practical.  

So, until Canvas makes this improvement, we're in a pickle when it comes to faculty using the find feature.

Sorry to hear that.  In my previous position, our IT team also was responsible for installing software (so we couldn't do this on our own), but for some reason, I was able to install Tampermonkey in my browser and the script on my own.
