Moodle Help & Support (Staff)  

This refers to Moodle 4.1 from December 2023 onwards.  


NOTE: Do not edit, change, detach, disconnect, attach or re-connect a rubric once marking has started. This risks loss of rubric comments.

How to: Add a previously created Turnitin rubric assessment

Once a rubric has been created by you or a colleague you'll need to attach it to an assignment via any of the submissions. This then applies to all other submissions in that dropbox. There is one rubric per assignment. Attempting to add another rubric to an Assignment Dropbox will delete the previous rubric and any feedback or marks created using it, so once a rubric is attached it should be used through marking.

 You can add the rubric when setting up the dropbox or before marking.


Editing or viewing an existing Turnitin rubric or creating a new one

  1. In your module, click on the Turnitin assignment you want to edit or add the rubric.
