1. Click on the 'Tools' tab on the navigation bar at the top of the course page. Then, click on the 'Rubrics' option located on the menu.

2. You will then be taken to the 'Rubrics' page. Please continue onto the next checklist!

1.  To create a new Rubric, click on the 'New Rubric' button under the title of the 'Rubrics' page.

2. You will be taken to the 'Edit Rubric' page, where an empty rubric will be created for you to edit. You can edit the title, type, and scoring of the rubric.

3. Opening the 'Options' foldable section gives more options for your rubric, like visibility settings, Learning Outcomes, Score Visibility, Description, and Advanced Availability.

4. You can change the scoring type as well; instead of points like the example above, you can change scoring type to percentages by switching to a "Holistic" type rubric.

5. Using the 'Reverse Level Order' you can also change from descending to ascending order, like in the below example.

6. Clicking the gray 'Close' button at the very bottom of the page will Save and Close the Rubric you've been working on, and you will be taken back to the main 'Rubrics' page.

1. In the top right of the page, you may notice the 'Status:' button: use this button to change the status of the rubric you're working on. 'Published' means it will be available for users to view, 'Archived' means it will be archived, and 'Draft' means it will be saved, but users cannot view this rubric.

2. As mentioned before, the 'Scoring:' option will change the type of scoring the rubric goes off of. If creating an analytic rubric, you can choose "No Score," "points," or "Custom Points". If creating a Holistic rubric, you can choose "No Score" or "Percentage". Choosing 'Points' will base your rubric off of how many columns you have.

3. Choosing 'Custom Points' will allow you to change specific points for each level of criterion.

4. You can add more criteria groups by using the gray 'Add Criteria Group' button to add more rows for customization.

5. Finally, at the bottom of the 'Options' subheading, you can find the option to allow this rubric in an association. For this example, there is only one association, but if your course has more they will be shown here. The 'What are Associations?' button will prompt a pop-up window that defines an association in relation to the rubrics.

1. If you don't want to create a new rubric, or have done so and want to change a previously made one, you can always edit a rubric. Click on the drop-down menu next to a rubric's name to show the different options. Click on the 'Edit' button to go to the 'Edit Rubric' page.

2. You will be taken to the 'Edit Rubric' page where you can now access and customize different parts or sections of the rubric you've selected. This is also especially handy if you want to change just one thing on the rubric.

3.  Like creating your own rubric, you can also customize the Options subheading section in the rubric you are editing.

1.  You can change the status of a rubric on the main 'Rubrics' page by selecting a rubric menu (drop down menu next to the name of the rubric) and then choosing the 'Set Status' option. This will change the menu into the 'Set Status' menu, where you can choose either Draft, Published, or Archived options.

2. Using the above steps, you can change the status of a rubric from 'Draft' while working on it to a 'Published' rubric your users can see - as seen in the below images. The changes will be available to users as soon as you make them - double check you have the correct rubric!

1. You can also change other features to a rubric by using the same drop-down menu next to a rubric's name (as shown in the 'Changing Status of Rubrics' checklist.

2. Clicking on the 'Preview' option will prompt a pop-up window of the preview of your rubric (whichever you choose to preview).

3. Clicking on the 'View Statistics' options will open a new page titled 'Rubric Statistics - "Rubric Name"'.  On this page, you can check what activities, Competency Activities, and the ePortfolio this rubric is connected to!

4. Finally, the 'Copy' and 'Delete' options do just that - copy or delete whichever rubric you select. You can do this to edit or experiment with the rubric process without affecting your other rubrics.

5. Before deleting a rubric, you will get a confirmation asking if you are sure you wish to delete that specific rubric. Double check before confirming!

6. Changes made will be immediately reflected on the Rubrics page.
