Toolin’ Around: Copying Rubrics in Brightspace

Welcome to another CTLE “Toolin’ Around”!

What are these posts?

They are brief, easy-to-implement tips involving the tools we use every day with students to make our teaching lives, well, easier (and possibly even more effective).

Toolin’ Around Tip:

Rubrics can be used to grade multiple items in Brightspace and can be copied within Brightspace.

Benefits?

    • Use rubrics for more than one graded item
    • Use rubrics in more than one course

You cannot copy a rubric from a live course, so you want to build rubrics in a
shared or personal model. Let’s walk through the steps of building a rubric and then extracting a rubric from both a shared model and a personal model!

Once you have logged into Brightspace, navigate to the course you want to copy the rubric into.

Navigate through these steps: Course Tools > Course Admin > Import/Export/Copy Components

Copy Components from a Personal or Shared Model

    1. Search for Course offering
    2. Search for and select the course from which you wish to copy the rubric(s)
    3. Select Components
    4. Select ‘Rubrics’
    5. Choose to copy all items or select individual items/rubrics
    6. Select Continue – If you selected individual items, you will now be able to
      select which rubric(s) you wish to copy
    7. Select Continue again
    8. Confirm Components to Copy and offset or update any due dates
    9. Select Finish
