Enhanced Rubrics: Rubrics are a vital tool in the assessment process, providing clear criteria for grading and helping ensure consistency in evaluation. To enhance the rubric experience in Canvas, we're excited to introduce our Enhanced Rubrics. This enhancement focuses on improving usability, flexibility, and the overall user experience, making rubric creation and management more intuitive and powerful. This new feature was released as a Feature Preview and is now available as a feature option in all environments. Phase 1 is currently available for feedback, and we encourage you to share your thoughts to help us refine the tool.

What is a Feature Preview? 

As a reminder, our feature previews are feature options that are in active development. Early adopters who opt into the feature and join the Community user group can help improve the feature through direct feedback. Our goal is to learn from the experts who are using these feature options in their live classrooms so that we can iterate quickly to improve the feature based on the feedback provided. It is important to keep in mind that additional updates about this feature will be available in the User Group as enhancements may be released outside the Canvas Deploy Notes cadence. When this feature option is available for general use and is no longer a feature preview, the feature option will once again be announced in the Canvas Release Notes.

I’m excited to give this feature a try! How do I opt-in? 

The Enhanced Rubrics feature option is an account, sub-account anc course level option, which can be enabled by an account admin by default for all courses or unlocked to allow individual instructors the opportunity to turn it on at the sub-account or course levels. Once made available, instructors can find the feature option under the Feature Options tab. Once enabled, you can start using the enhanced rubrics right away.

Now that I have the feature option enabled, how do I give feedback about my experience? 

Please join us in the Enhanced Rubrics User Group in the Canvas Community. We want to hear all feedback that you have to provide, so please feel free to share positive insights, constructive criticisms, and anything in between. Your honest and candid feedback will help drive our future development to make this feature the best it can be. Our product team will be watching this space to respond to questions and to understand use cases that provide opportunities for improvement. We can’t wait to hear about your experiences with this exciting new feature!
