How to copy a Rubric from one course to another?

[RaymondHudson]

I do not see an option to "copy to" an existing Rubric to another instance of the same course in a new term.  It would take a lot of time to have to re-construct the rubric again in the next offering of the same course.  Is there any way I can copy the Rubric?  Thanks.

Yes, you can. Rather than "copy" the rubric, you are going to "import" it into the target class.

1. To import, start with the target class. You are going to use the function "import existing content" from the home page.
2. Make sure to choose the option to "select specific content" from the original course.
3. Then when you are prompted to "select content," you can import all of the rubrics or whichever ones you want.
4. To select certain rubrics, click on the arrow key next to the little box to the left of the word "rubrics." Just check the boxes of the rubrics you'd like to import.

Thanks to @SusanNiemeyer for providing you with a good set of directions on how to select specific content (such as your rubrics) to import from one course to another.  Just in case you'd like to have this as well, I'll provide you with a link to the Guide which includes much of the same information as well as some screenshots:

I hope this extra bit of info will be helpful to you!

Thanks so much Susan and Chris!  That was a very easy thing to do once I knew which option to use.  I appreciate the help very much! Nice to know I can import pieces directly rather than having to copy FROM the source course to the target course.  I shall use that method from now on!
