Rubrics with External Tool Assignments

[mmoore1]

Does the rubric functionality disappear when one creates an assignment with an external tool?  We are noticing this when we create a Flipgrid assignment.

Yup...but if you first create the assignment and the associated rubric *before* you associate your assignment with a LTI external tool, then you'll still be able to access the rubric via SpeedGrader.  Students will still be able to access the rubric by clicking on "Grades" >> assignment name >> "Show Rubric".  Does this help?

Yup, sure does. thanks!

This is helpful. Thank you for the response.

That being said, it seems like it would alleviate a lot of confusion if the rubric was visible even when adding an external tool. 

Is this not something that is easily changed?

@mmoore1 and @Robert_Shahan ...

I just happened to see in the June 21, 2023 Deploy Notes that there's a section on Assignments: External Tools Add Rubric Button.  I think you'll find this helpful for your needs.  Check this out:
