Some colleagues who are using Blackboard assignments<\/a> to mark student work will have set up a Rubric<\/a> for use in providing feedback. Typically this will be a qualitative (non-scoring) Rubric called a ‘No Points’ rubric that does not automatically assign a grade as each box is ticked, but is a way of indicating to the student how well they have performed against each assessment criterion.<\/p>\n

We have discovered a minor issue in using such Rubrics which markers should be aware of.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0filling-out and saving\u00a0the\u00a0rubric, it resets any grade entered in the Attempt grade field to 0 and you will then need to re-enter the grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since these are non-scoring Rubrics, filling out and saving a Rubric should not enter anything in the Grade field. However, when you save a non-scoring Rubric, Blackboard enters a 0 in the Grade field \u2013 overwriting any mark which had previously been entered there.<\/p>\n

The workaround for this is always to complete the Rubric before entering a Grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you have entered a Grade, and then need to edit the Rubric, make sure that you take a note of the mark awarded<\/strong> before doing so.<\/p>\n

Blackboard are aware of this issue and plan to fix it in a forthcoming software release.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Blackboard<\/a><\/p>\n

1. The Grade for this Attempt showing as 62.<\/p>\n

2. Click where shown to open the Rubric.<\/p>\n

3. Fill out the Rubric and Save.<\/p>\n

\"Blackboard<\/p>\n

4. Grade for this Attempt has now reverted to 0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
