How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course using Enhanced Rubrics?

You can align any outcome in your course to a rubric. Rubrics are used to help students understand expectations for an assignment and how their submissions will be graded. Outcomes can be aligned with a rubric for additional assessment and measurable performance.

To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your course. You can align outcomes created at the account level, or learn how to create course outcomes.

Notes:

  • Outcomes can be added to rubrics, but rubrics cannot be added to outcomes.
  • Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment in a course.
  • This lesson describes rubrics with Enhanced Rubrics feature option enabled. If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your account, learn how to align an outcome with a rubric in the Classic Rubric interface.
