D2L: Add Rubrics to Written Response Questions

In a D2L Quiz, if we use the Written Response question type, we can add a rubric for easier and faster grading of those questions.

Here are the steps:

1. In the quiz editor, click on Create New> New Question>Written Response.
2. Add the writing prompt. Then, click on Add Rubric.
3. Select either Create New to create a new rubric or click on Add Existing to use a rubric we created previously. In either case, follow the on-screen prompts
   • Tip: If we want to hide the rubric from students so they cannot see it during the exam, make sure to select the appropriate option under the Options section in the Rubric Editor. We recommend the “Rubric is hidden from students until feedback is published” OR selecting “Rubric is hidden from students” and selecting the checkbox underneath, “Include rubric feedback in overall feedback”.
4. When we have selected the Rubric, it will appear under the question options and under the question preview (if we chose not to hide the rubric from students).
5. Finish making any other adjustments to the question and click on Save.
