Rubrics with Turn-it-in

I have a template course that I copy over every semester to my new course shells. In this course I have an essay that uses turn-it-in. I would like to edit the rubric for this essay, but can't see how to do so.

I typically give a break down of the scores to my students directly rather than use the point and click rubric (via the bubble comments), but I noticed that the rubric canvas is showing doesn't have the same point break down I do. it gives an even number off points for each section when I weight them differently.

Thanks,

FC

Hello there, Fredrick Curry...

If I am understanding your question correctly, you have a Canvas assignment in your course, but you are using the Turnitin LTI interface. However, you are unable to see the Canvas rubric associated with the assignment. If this is correct, this is because when you have the Turnitin LTI enabled for the assignment, Canvas won't display the rubric. However, all is not lost. When you go into the editing ("Edit Assignment Settings" button) screen of the assignment, you can temporarily change the assignment from the "Submission Type" of "External Tool" back to something like "Online". Once you save your changes to the assignment, the Canvas rubric will re-appear so that you can make any needed changes to the rubric. Once you have the rubric like you want it, then you would switch the "Submission Type" back to "External Tool"...making sure that "Turnitin" is selected as the LTI tool you want to use for that assignment.

In addition, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the Turnitin interface also allows you to build rubrics that are similar to the ones used in Canvas. And, one the rubric is built via Turnitin, you can use it similar to how you would use a Canvas rubric in the Canvas SpeedGrader ... but this time you're grading in Turnitin's FeedBack Studio. The grade from this rubric in FeedBack Studio is then passed back to your Canvas Gradebook for the assignment. Dallas E Hulsey has a detailed blog called Canvas and Turnitin that you can check out which has all the detail. It does take a bit of extra time to set up a rubric via the Turnitin interface, but it might be worth exploring.

I hope this helps, Fredrick. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you that helps.

Could you tell me how to access the rubric interface that TII provides?

Thanks,

Hi again, Fredrick Curry...

Sure thing! When you are looking at your Turnitin interface inside of your Canvas assignment, you will see a black cog/gear icon on the right side of the Turnitin interface with the word "Settings". Click on that icon, and you'll be brought to all the settings for your Turnitin-enabled assignment. Scroll down that interface, and you should see a link for "Optional Settings". Click on that link. Find the check-box for "Attach a rubric". This is where you can 1) create a new rubric via the "Launch Rubric Manager" button, or 2) use an existing Turnitin rubric for the assignment. (Note, this will NOT list Canvas rubrics that you've built in your course...as those are different than Turnitin rubrics.)

I searched YouTube and found this video for you. I've not reviewed all of it, but I think some of the interface shown in this video will be similar to what you'd find in the "Rubric Manager" when you launch it from inside of your Canvas course.

I hope this helps, Fredrick!
