Go to the Assessment Information module

For these instructions, we will select a Document Template.

Enter a (1) title name, then from the (2) Select a Document Template dropdown list, select (3) 03. Assessment Page.

4. In your HTML template, place your cursor in the area where you need to insert the rubric link.

With Assessment Page, go to the Assessment Criteria section and select and delete the text (1) Insert Quicklink to Rubric Here, then select (2) Quicklinks.

5. Select the (1) Rubrics, then (2) choose the rubric that you want to have linked.

6. The Rubric Quicklink (1) Assessment 1: Creative Work in blue, shows up with the rubric title. 

For more information on using HTML content templates, refer to this guide: Using HTML Content Templates.

7. When complete, select Save and Close.

• if the Assessment Dropbox or Discussion is visible to students
• If it's a group submission, check that students have been enrolled into the associated groups.
