Can I duplicate ratings within a same rubric?

[jmunoz1]

Hello Canvas Community!

I was wondering if someone knew of a way to duplicate ratings within a rubric. Here's the case: I'm constructing a rubric that has 12 criterias and all of them have the same ratings.

So it would be useful for me to duplicate the first row (criteria and its ratings) shown here, for example, and then maybe just change the 11 followings criterias, instead of filling in the 55 rating spaces left.

If anyone has any idea, it would be greatly appreciated.

 @jmunoz1 ​, I've never heard of a way to duplicate rating scales on rubrics in Canvas. In addition, there have been two feature ideas for this - & - and in looking through the discussion I don't see any suggested workarounds.

Thanks Kona!

What about duplicating the whole rubric? I'm thinking there isn't an option for this either; maybe exporting and importing again?

I'm pretty sure if you have the rubric attached to an assignment you can add the assignment (with rubric) to Commons and then download the Assignment back into your course. This "should" give you the rubric duplicated back into your course as well. The other way I've done this is if the Rubric is in one course I can copy it into another course and then do another copy to get a second copy, etc.

Ok, I'll look into it. Thank you!

This would be incredibly helpful.  I'm trying to build a rubric that will rate individual answers, and there are 15 of them!

James Jones has created a canvancement that allows you to create a rubric in a spreadsheet and import it into Canvas - Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet.
