How do I customize learning mastery ratings for an account?
As an admin, you can customize the Learning Mastery ratings for the Learning Mastery Gradebook and Student Learning Mastery Gradebook. You can customize the set level for mastery, name and point value for proficiency ratings, and the color associated with each rating.
Assigned colors also display in rubric results within a student's Grades page. Even if students do not have access to the Student Learning Mastery Gradebook, the Grades page uses color to help students more easily recognize their own results within an assignment.
Customized Learning Mastery ratings apply to rubric criteria, not just outcomes criteria. When a rubric is used to assess a student, the selected criterion ratings match the point value or range in an outcomes proficiency rating and display the same color results. For instance, if the Exceeds Mastery proficiency rating is set to 5 points and indicated by the color green, a course rubric criterion with a rating of 5 points awarded to a student also displays the color green.
Note: You can allow instructors to manage outcome mastery scales for outcomes in their course.
