I am unable to add a due date or use TurnitIn with my forum?
Currently, there are two types of Forums in Moodle. The Open Forum and Forum. The Forum will give you more functionality, and you will have the ability to assign due dates to discussions and use Turnitin.
Can there be a range of scores built into a rubric or is it always all the point or nothing?
For each criterion in your rubric, you will determine how many performances levels there are, and then you will set the value of each level. This value must be set as a number and cannot be a range.
How will students access the rubric and view it?
Make sure “Allow Users to preview rubric” is checked and when the student selects an assignment with a rubric attached, they will see the rubric as part of the information.
