IRubric Rapid - Adding Student Submissions
This guide is written for assessment facilitators who manage iRubric Rapid assessment folders. It covers how to get student submissions into a folder and, where applicable, how to guide instructors through their part of the process.
There are two methods for adding submissions:
| Method | Summary | Supported LMS |
|---|---|---|
| Method 1 — Automated Import | Instructor enables submission import per assignment; facilitator imports them into the folder | Canvas, Blackboard only |
| Method 2 — Manual Upload | Instructor downloads submissions from the LMS; facilitator (or instructor, if given access) uploads them | Any LMS |
Method 1 — Automated Import
Use this method when your institution uses Canvas or Blackboard and you want submissions pulled in automatically without a manual file transfer.
Instructor's Part
Note: Steps to share with the instructor:
- Access RCampus from the course assignment link in Canvas or Blackboard.
- On the RCampus settings page, locate each assignment whose submissions should be imported into the assessment folder.
- Toggle Enable Submission Import on for each applicable assignment.
- Notify you (the facilitator) when done.
Facilitator: Import the Submissions
- In RCampus, go to Rubrics > Assessments and open the assessment folder.
- Click the context menu (⋯ ellipsis button) and select Add Items.
- Select Option C and follow the prompts to import the submissions.
Method 2 — Manual Upload
Use this method for any LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L/Brightspace, Moodle, etc.) when submissions need to be uploaded as files rather than imported automatically.
Instructor's Part
Note: Steps to share with the instructor:
- Download student submissions from the LMS. Refer to your LMS documentation for bulk download instructions. Most LMS platforms export submissions as a zip file — no renaming or reformatting is needed.
- Upload the files to the assessment folder if you have been granted upload access (see below), or send the files to the facilitator.
Facilitator: Grant Upload Access (Optional)
If you want the instructor to upload submissions themselves, grant them upload access to the assessment folder before they attempt to upload.
Facilitator: Upload Submissions
- In RCampus, go to Rubrics > Assessments and open the assessment folder.
- Click the context menu (⋯ ellipsis button) and select Add Items.
- Drag and drop the zip file or individual files into the upload area.
- If prompted to extract the zip file, click OK. RCampus will create one assessment item per file automatically.
Facilitator: Link Submissions to Students (Optional)
If submissions need to be associated with individual students for tracking and reporting purposes, use the Linked To column.
Link students one at a time
- In the assessment folder, enable the Linked To column if it is not already visible.
- For each item, enter the student's RCampus login directly into the Linked To field.
Link students in bulk using a spreadsheet
- In the assessment folder, enable the Linked To column if it is not already visible.
- Click the download icon in the Linked To column header to download the Excel spreadsheet.
- Fill in the student login information for each row following the instructions provided in the spreadsheet.
- Upload the completed spreadsheet back to the folder using the upload control in the same column header.
Note: Linking submissions to students is optional but recommended when per-student reporting or submission tracking is required.
