Grading Rubrics

In eCampus Ultra, rubrics can be used with assessments that have only text content included (you cannot place any ‘questions’ on the test canvas). There are other ways to provide feedback and align assessments to standards and goals for the various question types, but rubrics are only available if the assessment does not have questions - just a text box containing instructions…and/or questions… for the student to follow or answer.

Goals & Standards

Align tests or assignments with WVU’s list of content standards and learning goals as a guide for course assessments. When creating an assessment, you will find this option in the Settings panel. Click the link to view and search the institution’s many goals and standards. You can also request to have the eCampus team add a new set of goals for your course. Goals & standards can be useful guides for students and instructors where rubrics cannot be applied, too.
