From RCampus Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

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:

  1. Access RCampus from the course assignment link in Canvas or Blackboard.
  2. On the RCampus settings page, locate each assignment whose submissions should be imported into the assessment folder.
  3. Toggle Enable Submission Import on for each applicable assignment.
  4. Notify you (the facilitator) when done.

Facilitator: Import the Submissions

  1. In RCampus, go to Rubrics > Assessments and open the assessment folder.
  2. Click the context menu ( ellipsis button) and select Add Items.
  3. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. In RCampus, go to Rubrics > Assessments and open the assessment folder.
  2. Click the context menu ( ellipsis button) and select Add Items.
  3. Drag and drop the zip file or individual files into the upload area.
  4. 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

  1. In the assessment folder, enable the Linked To column if it is not already visible.
  2. For each item, enter the student's RCampus login directly into the Linked To field.

Link students in bulk using a spreadsheet

  1. In the assessment folder, enable the Linked To column if it is not already visible.
  2. Click the download icon in the Linked To column header to download the Excel spreadsheet.
  3. Fill in the student login information for each row following the instructions provided in the spreadsheet.
  4. 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.
