Before creating a Rubric
You can create rubrics either from the Author module or directly within a question, but it's important to understand the key difference. Creating a rubric in the Author module makes it a reusable template. A rubric created directly within a question, however, will not be saved as a separate template in the general Rubrics list and can only be used for the question it was created in.
Rubrics typically consist of rows (Criteria), columns (Level of performance), and points, providing a structured way to assess performance. By default, new rubrics begin with two rows and two columns. You can add, edit, duplicate, or delete these rows and columns as you build your rubric.

- From the Author module dropdown list, select Rubrics.

How to create a Rubric from within a question
