Rubrics allow you to apply specific grading criteria on your students' work and provide detailed explanations regarding
your grading decisions. A rubric can be
applied to an assignment, test or a discussion topic. One would apply a rubric to a discussion
forum so the threads can be easily graded.
To apply an already-created rubric and apply it to a discussion forum, follow these steps:
1. Go to the discussion board to which you wish to apply the rubric, and click its drop-down arrow. Select Edit.
2. Scroll down to Section 3, Grade Settings. Make the forum
graded by selecting the radio button next to Grade Discussion
Forum and choose the amount of points possible.
3. When you click the aforementioned radio button, the Rubrics options will appear. Hover your mouse over the Add Rubric button to select an
existing rubric or create a new one on the spot.
4. The Grade Threads option also allows rubrics to be
used, but the rubric must be applied via the Grade Center discussion column for the
graded thread.
