When using Speedgrader and grading with a rubric, the newer interface in Canvas is a little off. A user needs to slide the window to the left so that there is enough space. I am wondering if you can make the submit buttons left aligned so that they...
One complaint I have heard from staff previewing Enhanced Rubrics, is that they hoped by enabling the feature with an assignment that students would be required to respond either before or after submission. Would it be possible to at least give teach...
The new "rubric enhancement" harkens back to the Blackboard set-up: the scoring is confusing and can no longer see/edit the rubric as it appears to student/creator. When grading an item, the instructor has to "submit assessment" (changed from "Rubri...
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...
If you create a rubric of the type 'unscored', points are not shown while building the criteria. However, when the rubric is created points are shown in various locations:
the total points column shows a valuethe rubric preview shows points (see imag...
When viewing an assignment as a tutor, you used to be able to see the rubric and it's criteria. For some reason you can no longer see the box and criteria, and you have to click 'preview rubric' to see it? See attached screengrab.

We’re currently working on a new project in Canvas that will allow instructors to grade using multiple rubrics on a single assignment and we’d love your input!
We know grading can look ...
Hi there,
I recently received this email from one of our faculty:
Am I understanding this correctly?
In the spring I was using rubrics that didn't show points values to students, just comments. And speedgrader offered to set up a library ...
We’re excited to share an update on Phase 3 of Enhanced Rubrics, which includes key usability fixes, UX improvements, and new features based on your feedback!
What's Coming in Phase 3
Phase 3 focuses on:
Resolving top usability issues and long-stand...
I was doing some testing on the Enhanced Rubrics in our beta environment, in production we still have the original rubrics. I wanted to test if assignments with a rubric attached will still have the option: "Use this rubric for assignment grading" en...
The written feedback style of rubrics allows for comments to be saved for reuse.
That feature disappears when you use the scale style of rubric.
Often I want to write the student a comment in each category, and I want to reuse comments. Is that featu...
Some folks using Enhanced Rubrics have let us know about an issue where the selected rubric layout (Horizontal or Vertical) doesn’t stick when moving between students in SpeedGrader. Even if you pick a layout you like, it flips back to the traditiona...
When using Enhanced Rubrics that include Canvas Outcomes, the Speedgrader rubric view does not display the full Outcome name as it does for names of other rubric criteria. This makes it difficult to grade with because there is not enough included in ...
In the traditional view, the submit button used to be on the left and is now on the far right. My instructors are often not clicking the Submit button and going to the next student, and losing their rubric selections. Moving the Submit Button to the ...
Description:Please add an account- or course-level setting in Canvas that allows administrators or instructors to set the default view of enhanced rubrics to horizontal rather than the current default (traditional).
Why This Matters:The horizontal vi...
Hello Everyone,
I’m excited to introduce myself as the new Product Manager for Enhanced Rubrics! My name is Yasi, and I recently joined Instructure on the Evaluate team, where I'll focus on all things related to grading and assessment in Canvas. I’m...
When using SpeedGrader, I prefer to use Horizontal layout for rubrics, as I have some text-heavy criteria that can cause issues with my screen layout. I just discovered that, if I don't issue a grade and just switch to the next student, the rubric r...
As the title says. If I've created a new rubric, published it, attached it to an assignment, and realize that instead of totaling 45 points it's showing 44 because I mistyped a score value. When I click on Edit, I am 100% unable to change or edit an...
The possibility of exporting Rubrics is a great new functionality. Unfortunately it is still quite hard for us to use at the moment, because the export only includes the Student Id and Student Name, but not the SIS ID. Is it possible to add the SIS I...
I've been testing the Enhanced Rubrics feature preview and discovered a significant issue with point values that requires immediate attention. Here is a YouTube video demonstrating the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTW_Qbks4Ho

When you preview the rubric of an assignment as a teacher (in the assignment) it takes quite some scrolling to view a large rubric: the right part of the rubric isn't visible and you first have to scroll down to use to horizontal scrolling bar to see...
Multiple Rubrics per assignment has always been the most important rubric improvement for me, and I have been waiting to turn on this feature until this is available. At Instructure New & Next in September 2024, it was reported that multiple rubrics ...
We've noticed that with the enhanced rubrics, when you check the "Use this rubric for assignment grading" option, if the rubric's points don't match the assignment's points, the assignment's points are automatically changed to match those of the rubr...
In an effort to create a more engaging teaching and learning experience, educators have looked for ways to offer students more structured self assessment opportunities directly within Canvas LMS.
Once available, educators using both Enhanced Rubrics...
In the old rubric design, you could enter the maximum points a student could get for each rubric criteria, and Canvas would automatically indicate the points for each achievement level (rating). This was a very practical feature that was used a lot b...
The Criterion Description field does not seem to allow special characters, such as &, whereas other fields such as Criterion Name and Rating Description do allow them. Is this a bug or known issue?
When duplicating criteria in an Enhanced Rubric:
The heading says "Edit Criterion" and the Criterion Name is exactly the same as the one I'm duplicating....which is a bit misleading and confusing as to whether I'm actually editing a duplicate or the ...
When duplicating an Enhanced Rubric, we are experiencing the following:
When you duplicate a rubric which uses a range, the range does not stick and the duplicated rubric only has single number scores.When you duplicate a rubric that is in Draft, the...
