Rubric Report

How to Build a Rubric Report

The Rubric Report allows an administrator to select rubrics and view the associated assessment data. By default, the report will show all assessment data for the rubric, but reports can be customized by selecting filtering values to refine the displayed data.

Building a Rubric Report Query

A Rubric report query is built by choosing a rubric on which to report and giving the query a name. Optionally, data filters can be added to refine the reported data.

To build a simple Rubric report query:

  1. From the Reports page, click the Create New Report button and select Rubric Report.
  2. On the Select Report Criteria page, click inside the Rubric field and select a rubric from the dropdown list.

    Note: Only rubrics that have been assessed and submitted will appear in the rubric list.

  3. In the Query name field, type in a name for the query.
  4. Click the RUN button to display the data for the selected rubric.

The Rubric Report Screen

The Rubric Report lists all elements of the selected rubric, displays the percentage and number of times each performance level was scored, and calculates the mean score and standard deviation for each element. The top half of the report uses colored bars to display scores, with each color representing a performance level. The bottom half of the report shows the same information in a table.

Tip: Associated standards are indicated in the table view with a S:1, S:2, etc. icon next to an element name. Click the icon to view the associated standard.

Below the Rubric Results by Element, you will find the Total Rubric Score table, which displays the total number of completed assessments with the rubric, as well as the mean and standard deviation.

Note: If "N/A" was selected in one or more elements in a rubric assessment, that assessment will not be included in the total rubric score calculations.

To add a query to an existing report:

  1. Create a query and run the report.
  2. On the report screen, click the Add Query button.

Tip: The visibility of each query can be turned on or off by clicking the checkbox next to the query name.

Copying, Editing, and Deleting Queries

Queries can be managed by hovering over a query and selecting one of the following icons:

  • The pencil icon to edit the existing query.
  • The paper icon to copy the query and, optionally, edit it.
  • The trash can icon to delete the query from the report.

Saving and Exporting Reports

Reports can be saved or exported for future use.

  2. Click the Export to PDF or Export to CSV button.
