I asked this about the old speedgrader once upon a time, but don't see it asked or addressed yet about the new (enhanced?) speedgrader. So: "When an assignment has a rubric to use for grading enabled, is there a way to have that rubric automatically open when you view assignments in speedgrader? If I've enabled a rubric to use for grading, then I want it available for grading on each assignment, without having to select to view it on every individual student."
For the old speedgrader, the answers I got were about writing scripts or using a "canvancement" to accomplish this—which worked great! And now no longer works.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @cmuir,
I think you may have the "Enhanced Rubrics" feature option enabled, but not the "Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader" option. If your institution has he SpeedGrader feature option available and you enable it, you should see the rubric open up automatically as @james_whalley said, at least that's what happens for me.

@cmuir By New SpeedGrader, do you mean the new feature option "Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader"? If so, the rubric should be open by default when you enter the SpeedGrader.
I honestly don't know if "Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader" is what I mean. I just know that SpeedGrader is now different. Here's what I see if I go to grade a student's discussion post, cropped to just the rubric part for student privacy.
The rubric is not opened, but there's a "view rubric button".
Once I click to view the rubric, I see the it in "traditional" view, with the option to change that view.
So then I choose a rating and submit it for the student.
And then when I go to the next student, it's back to square one.
Hope that makes more sense. Would love suggestions from anyone!

Thank you, @chriscas — that does indeed seem to have been the problem!
