What happens if I remove a rubric from an assessment item?
When can I remove a rubric from an assessment item?
A rubric becomes linked when it is connected to another tool. For example, if the rubric is connected to an assignment folder but you have not graded any submissions with the rubric. In this case, you can remove the rubric to unlink from the assignment.
When should I not remove the rubric from an assessment item?
A rubric becomes locked when it is connected to an activity or assessment item and has been used to assess at least one student. If you remove the rubric from the page, a warning message appears: "Deleting rubrics could result in loss of data!"
When a rubric has been used to assess student work, removing the rubric from the item will delete the scored rubric assessments. The rubric assessment no longer displays when entering grades and the rubric assessment is removed from the student’s view. Even if the rubric were later re-connected to the activity, the unscored rubric would be available, but the previous scored rubric assessment have been lost. This rubric assessment cannot be retrieved by D2L.
