Downloading Graded Rubrics

[JordanGarciaNAU]

Good afternoon,

Today, I worked with a faculty member who had an interesting request that I can't seem to find any information on.

They want to download graded rubrics in a format that can be easily shared with accreditors. We found a couple of Chrome extensions (e.g., TamperMonkey scripts) that export grades and rubric information as CSV files, but that’s not quite what they need. Instead, they’re looking for a way to download a file of the graded rubric exactly as it appears in SpeedGrader.

Right now, the only option seems to be taking screenshots of each graded rubric and attaching them to the student’s downloaded submission, which is quite cumbersome.

Is there a built-in option for this that I might be missing? I was surprised to see that other community members haven’t requested this, so I wasn’t sure if this feature already exists.

Thank you for your time—your input is greatly appreciated!

Hi @JordanGarciaNAU,

It is not a simple as just going somewhere and clicking on "download" but I would recommend that you check out the Canvas API documentation for rubrics.

Rubrics - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation

From there it is possible to list rubrics and view the details for a specific rubric. Depending on how the information is displayed (because of the tool/s you are using), you can then (most likely in a manual way, unless you are doing it programmatically) download the raw information and manipulate it.

Would it be great if this were easier? Yes, but this is a way that it is still possible.
