You can align any outcome in your account 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 account. Learn how to create account 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.
- The Assignment Enhancements feature option must be enabled for students to view the updated rubric interface.
- 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 Rubrics interface.
