This resource shows you how to copy a rubric from one Blackboard Ultra course to another. For help with moving rubrics from Blackboard Original, refer to Importing a Course Package into Blackboard Ultra.
At this time, there is no specific tool or process to copy rubrics between Ultra courses. However, the following demonstrates a simple and effective workaround of using an assignment as a vehicle that will bring the rubric with it.
To copy a rubric from one Ultra course to another:
- Copy an assignment that currently uses the rubric, or create a hidden assignment to use for copying your rubric. In this example, the assignment is called Rubric Copy.
- Ensure the rubric you want to copy is attached to the assignment.
- Go to the course where you want to copy the rubric.
- At the upper right of your Course Content area, select the More options for course content ellipse button (…) and select Copy Content.
- Search for the course where the rubric assignment resides. Select the rubric assignment and nothing else.
- Copy the rubric assignment. You may get some minor error messages during the copy process which you can ignore.
- Locate the rubric in the Gradebook Settings area, make a duplicate, and delete the original rubric. (Although this step is not mandatory, it will mitigate potential bugs with copied rubrics.)
- You can now delete the vehicle assignment from the content area if you don’t need it.
