An assignment has been updated with a new rubric. Can I delete the old rubric without disruptions t

Hi @Jennifer Gao​ I know there can be some quirks when updating rubrics, and that becomes a bit more challenging when they are associated with Competencies. Here's what I know and hopefully it will help you decide what the best course of action is for the set up of your course(s).

As far as competencies and rubrics go:

• It seems that when there is an association between the rubric and a Competency, that rubric will always remain in visible to evaluators and students in the Assignment folder, despite being removed from the Assignment and Achieved from the Rubrics list.
• If you remove the association between the Competency and the Assignment/Rubric, students will no longer show completion or progress against that Competency. Students will still see the grade they received, but they will only see the new rubric, rather than the one they were graded against.
  • If you tie the Competency to the Grade item, instead of the assignment folder/rubric, you can update the rubrics and grading practices within the assignment without affecting competency progress of students who have already been graded. This seems like a good way forward, so that progress is maintained, regardless of updates to the rubric.

As for updating and archiving rubrics:

• For both the learner and the evaluator, they will continue to see all rubrics that are associated with an assignment, even if they are archived. To remove it from view, you must delete it from the assignment.
  • Once you archive a rubric, you are no longer able to remove it from the list of associated rubrics in the assignment set up.
  • Once you remove a rubric from assignment, students are no longer able to see how they scored, if they were evaluated with that removed rubric.
    • However, if you set the rubric to draft, instead of archive, the learner will still be able to see the rubric they were graded against in the feedback view. Setting old rubrics to draft will also help you differentiate which one is the newest version in your list.
• While it doesn't seem possible to completely remove the old rubrics without affecting previously-assessed students, you can use the 'default rubric' selector to help guide your evaluators on which rubric to use, so it automatically suggests which rubric they should be using when they go in to assess a learner.

@Jennifer Gao​ my apologies! That has been updated to read ' you must delete it [the rubric] from the assignment'. There is no great way to completely remove it from the assignment while not causing additional ripples in the grading process, so it's about choosing the path of least resistance and the one that makes the most sense for your course/grading experience.
