How can I set up an assignment in Canvas for two professors to grade using a rubric?

[gandrade]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help with setting up an assignment in Canvas.

I need two professors to review and grade the same assignment using a rubric. How can I configure Canvas to allow both professors to input their grades and feedback? Is there a specific way to set this up, or any best practices to ensure the process runs smoothly?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

 Hi @gandrade maybe moderated grading is an option for you? See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-moderated-assignment-to-be-graded...
You may need to turn this on in the course features though (this may need the assistance of an admin depending on your own role in the course I guess).

Hello @gandrade,

What if you set this up as a peer review assignment? You could add both of the professors as students and then assign all of the submissions to them to review. This wouldn't push either of their grades into the Gradebook, but it would allow students to see both sets of feedback.

If you need both professors' grades to go into the Gradebook, you can just make a duplicate of the assignment and clearly communicate to students to make two submissions of the same work.

Would either of those work for you?

I wouldn't go there personally  @james_whalley - our experience suggests that where you add teachers as students their access (in some areas at least) is restricted to the lower level permissions....

@gandrade you need to watch out - in our experience, if two assessors use the same rubric for the same submission on the same day we have noted that only one of the updates is saved (may be a bug ?). Comments don't seem to be affected. Note also this discussion https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/SpeedGrader-loses-feedback-when-there-are-m... on losing dual marked feedback.

Other approaches are that both assessors mark offline then reconcile final mark and feedback, or could add feedback rubrics as attachments to the comments area - but that doesn't help with using the grading functionality built into Canvas.
