RUBRICS IN CANVAS

Grading rubrics really are the key to easier grading in Canvas -- "SpeedGrader" allows you to simultaneously view the rubric and the student's submission:

Instructure has many excellent "how-tos" for building and using rubrics inside Canvas:

• What is a Rubric?
• How do I create a Rubric?
• How do I add a Rubric to an assignment?
• How do I add a Rubric to a discussion?
• How do I add a Rubric to a quiz?
• How do I edit Rubric details?
• How do I use free-form comments instead of ratings in a Rubric?
• How do I find existing Rubrics?
• How do I manage course-level Rubrics?
• How do I align an Outcome with a Rubric?
• How do I grade students work with Rubrics?

A rubric can be as simple or as detailed as you wish in Canvas; here I have some examples of paper evaluation rubrics, and how they look when I built them in Canvas:

If you haven't really used rubrics before in order to evaluate student work, here are a couple of sites that you can use to find sample rubrics, or to create your own:

Rubistar

iRubric

• Find rubric (2/12/13: having trouble with this link today, use the Rubric Gallery link below in the meantime)

Here are two sample rubrics that I found on iRubric -- one for evaluating writing, and one for evaluating a statistics project:
