Create Rubric Templates and Manage Your Rubric Library

All Peerceptiv instructors and admins have access to a Rubric Library, which allows you to create rubric templates, share templates with colleagues, and view Peerceptiv curated rubrics. Rubric templates can be imported into any assignment, which makes it easier to build assignments and consistently track the same data. 

This article covers how to access the rubric library, how to create rubrics, share rubrics,  star favorite rubrics, and import a rubric template into your assignment. 

Access the Rubric Library

Click on the Peerceptiv icon in the top left of the navy bar. Then click Rubrics.

OR, click on your profile circle icon on the top right of the navy bar and then select Manage Rubrics.

Create a Rubric

If you create a new rubric template in the library, it will not be connected to a specific assignment. The rubric will be available to import into your assignments or share with a colleague. 

Note: In order to track specific skill growth or learning outcomes on your rubrics, you may want to consider first creating a Skills Framework with a list of all the skills you plan to track. Those skills can then be added to your rubric criteria and Peerceptiv will track data associated with those skills based on learner performance. We recommend creating a Skills Framework before creating a rubric, but it's not necessary. You can choose to create a Skills Framework later and add skills to the rubric after it has been created. 

 To get started, click + New Template.

Give the rubric template a name by clicking on and editing the New Rubric title. 

Click the Add Prompt + button to add a new Comment or Rating Prompt or copy an existing prompt from a prior rubric. Comment Prompts require learners to write a written comment and rating prompts require learners to select a numerical rating level. 

• For typical peer assessment assignments where the grade will be based on the quality of the submission and/or the quality of reviewing, we recommend including at least 3 rating prompts with 4 or more descriptor levels. For rubric best practices, there should be at least 1 comment prompt and 5-12 rating prompts with at least four rating levels. Any assignment with a feedback phase must have a comment prompt on the rubric in order to be published.
• For peer assessment assignments with no submission grades, only completion grading, or ungraded, you can choose to only have comment prompts with no rating prompts. 

For more information about best practices and how to create a rubric, please see this article: How to Build a Rubric. 

When you are done creating your rubric, you can leave the page by clicking "Back to Rubric Library" and the rubric will automatically save.

Share a Rubric

You can share a rubric by hovering your mouse on the rubric name and then clicking on the three dots in the far right "Options" column. Select Share, enter the user’s email address of the person who you want to share with, and then click Share.

You can share with multiple people or remove them, as appropriate.

Starred Rubrics

Make one of your rubrics a favorite by starring it. Then you can sort by starred rubrics by clicking the top of the star column twice. This is a nice way of indicating which rubrics you want to copy into other assignments or courses.

You can only star your own rubrics. If you would like, you can copy a shared rubric and make it your own and then favorite it. Click the 3 dot menu in the Options column, copy the shared rubric, give it a new name, and then star it. 

Import a Rubric Template Into an Assignment

After you have created a rubric template, it is available to be imported into an assignment. Create an assignment, go to the Rubrics tab, and click "Import From Rubric Library." 

Select the rubric and click "Import this Rubric."
