Apply a rubric table

Rubric tables are used to support the grading of external activities in Möbius .

External activity — An activity that was completed outside of the Möbius platform (Example — a quiz completed on paper, an oral presentation, etc.).

Rubric table — A scoring tool that establishes the grading criteria for an external activity.

To apply an existing rubric table to grade external activities, you'll:

1. Create an external activity in Möbius.

2. Select a rubric table to apply to the new external activity.

3. Save the external activity.

4. Enter your students' grades by selecting their grade from the applied rubric table.

IMPORTANT: A rubric table can only be applied to external activities, and only while the external activity is being entered into Möbius. A rubric table can't be applied to an existing external activity that already has grades entered for it. Rubric tables also can't be applied to Möbius lessons or assignments.

TIP: Once a rubric table is applied to an external activity, you're able to quickly access the external activity from the Class Homepage.

TIP: Don't have any rubric tables yet to apply to external activities? Check out Create a rubric table.

TIP: Check out Access rubric tables for reminders of what rubric tables you've already created or inherited.
