rubrics

[NehaGulati]

I'm trying to add a criteria into a rubrics. I only see an option to add a criteria at the very end. Is there a way to re-order the criteria within the rubrics?

Thanks

Hi @NehaGulati,

With the standard rubrics in Canvas, unless you're using some kind of modification script, you can't add a criteria in the middle of others.  Unfortunately, you also can't rearrange things, so if you need to add something in the middle it would be a lot of retyping.

The good news is that Instructure is currently developing what they call "enhanced rubrics" which have a lot more features, but also some added complexity because of the extra features.  You may or may not have access to these in your Canvas course, depending what your school/institution administrators have enabled for you.  You can read more about the enhanced rubrics in the Enhanced Rubrics User Group.

I hope this helps, even if it's not the info you hoped to hear right away.

Hi there, @NehaGulati ...

In addition to what @chriscas has mentioned, if you are still using the standard rubrics, @James Jones has developed a script that allows you to re-order rubrics.  You can find it at:

Sorting Rubrics Made Easy - Instructure Community - 272179

This is one of his many Canvancements - Canvas Enhancements - Instructure Community - 246997 that you can check out whenever you want.

I hope this will be of some help to you.  If you have questions about James' script, I would encourage you to post your question(s) to James' blog post.

Good luck!
