Giving individual feedback on student assignments in Desire2Learn (D2L) can be greatly simplified through the assignment rubric tool, which securely communicates frequent comments and calculates scores. This online training video covers setting up holistic and analytic rubric properties and types, as well as major levels and criteria, as well as how to link rubric-based evaluation with dropbox and gradebook items.

First you need to hit Save.…Once you've saved your rubric type,…
