Create a standard or custom rubric as normal. Click the option to add an item or a matrix as appropriate and then select From Content Bank.
This will bring up the content bank where any pre-existing items or matrices that are available can be added to your rubric. Template content will be clearly labelled as such and you can preview any material before you select it to add to your rubric.
For custom rubrics: the templates also list the weighting of each individual item and can be searched for by format (e.g. drop-down, mark entry, grid).For custom rubrics: use the + and - buttons to add as much content as you like, normally until the total weighting for all items is 100% (this can be ignored if the entire rubric is zero-weighted).
For standard rubrics: use the radial button to select a matrix to add.
In both cases: click Import to finish.
Tip: for best results, avoid combining template formats in a custom rubric if the content is weighted (e.g. using a 25% drop-down question and a 30% mark entry question in the same rubric). This ensures that the rubric looks clear and consistent both to staff and students.
For custom rubrics: your selected content will have been added to the rubric as separate items (pages). To combine them all into a single item, scroll down to the bottom of your rubric and tick the checkbox to select all items. From the Actions drop-down that appears, choose Merge the selected items to a single item.
You can now edit the template and add your own written content to it as normal.
