About rubrics

You can create several different rubrics in one course. A rubric is designed as a matrix consisting of rows and columns, with a row for each criterion and columns for the different levels of performance. Rubrics can be linked to tasks, text and discussions. Rubrics are created either in conjunction with the creation of the assignment / test or via Gradebook and later linked to an assessable object.

At present, comments cannot be written directly in connection with a rubric. All comments may be placed in the general feedback to the participant.

Types of rubrics

At present, two types of rubrics can be created in Ultra; percent and percent range.

Percentage rubric
For percentage based rubric, the total percentage of the rubric must correspond to 100%.
You can insert rows that are set to 0% as long as the total percentage equals 100%.
If the percentages do not equal 100, a warning message appears at the bottom of the screen. Select Balanced Criteria next to the message to automatically adjust the percentage to equal 100. You can also manually update the percentages as needed.

Rubric with percentage range
For criteria with percentage ranges, each performance level has a value range. When assessing, select the appropriate percentage value for each individual level of performance. The points are calculated automatically as follows: weight x percentage of performance x point of work.

I have previously used rubrics without points. How do I solve this in Ultra?

The recommendation is to use percentage values. The assessment is made in the form and in the general feedback you specify the result of the assignment based on the assignment's rating rubric.

The percentage value itself does not mean anything. Often you have as a requirement that students must have at least G on all criteria in order to be approved for an assignment. A student who has a VG on all requirements except one, where it receives a U, will probably have a higher percentage value than a student who has a G on all requirements. It is therefore important that the feedback, in addition to specifying results, also clarifies why the student was assigned a certain result.

When do participants see the rubric?

Participants see the rubric as long as the task itself is visible to them. The teacher's assessment of the rubric becomes visible only when the result is published.
