Rubrics

[GemmaFigaro]

Why can't I simply upload an existing rubric created for a specific course (in the same way that I can upload a syllabus)?   

The rubric template that comes up automatically in Canvas is too difficult to edit and does not meet my needs.

@GemmaFigaro ...

I agree with you...adding/editing rubfics in a Canvas course can be a challenge.  Fortunately, @James Jones has come up with a very handy "Canvancement" (Canvas Enhancement) that allows you to upload rubrics that are created using an Excel spreadsheet.  I have used this countless times, and it has saved me hours upon hours of work.  I'd encourage you to take a look at: Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).  It's a lot of information, but James also has a handful of videos near the bottom of his posting along with the installation instructions (which I used the Tampermonkey extension in conjunction with Google Chrome).  You can leave feedback on his blog if you have questions...or you can also leave questions here in this topic.

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Sing out if there are questions.
