Attention Instructors: Problems with the pop-up LiveText rubric generator have caused data collection inaccuracies. This may be a user error or in other cases, it may be a technical issue with your browser security setup. If the rubric cells are not highlighted and saved, the points will be 0 resulting in no assessment data in LiveText. Here are the most common errors. Highlight rubric cells for grading. Instructor does not click to highlight the proper cell that identifies the level of proficiency for each rubric criteria or category. Even if you entered a final grade with points and comments, no data will be generated unless you have clicked to highlight the proper cells according to each criteria and level of proficiency in the rubric. Check to see if points are recorded in the bottom right corner of the rubric. Another error can occur if the instructor does not scroll down through the entire rubric. Technical Issues. Instructor has technical problems with the browser that results in the highlighting of cells not taking or not to LiveText? The grade and comments may be there, but no data is submitted. o Security settings that are set too high may block your submission and make it impossible to save the completed rubric with highlighted cells. This would also result in 0 with no assessment data in LiveText. o Reported errors have occurred with Firefox, so you may need to try another browser Internet Explorer or Chrome. If the highlighting is not saving properly, check your internet tools and settings to make sure you are allowing content and not accidentally blocking popups or content in your browser. o Check your saved assessments to make sure the rubric cells are highlighted for each criteria and level of competency. Make sure the points are recorded in the bottom right corner of the rubric. If you see zero points, the assessment will provide zero data. No Student Signature Assignment Submission. Instructor publishes an empty rubric assessment for a student who did not actually submit the signature assignment in LiveText. This results in either incomplete or inaccurate data. If a student does not submit in LiveText, instructor should not assess in LiveText. Student should be given a zero on the grade, but no data should be entered in LiveText.

How do I go back and fix my errors?

Click on View Rubric Scores to see if you highlighted the cells in the correct row/column.

If you have submitted scores, but not highlighted the rubric cells, click on Undo Assessment for each student. Even if youve put in grade points and comments, if you didnt highlight the proper rubric cells, no data will be generated.

This will move the assessment back to the yellow Awaiting Assessment Section. You can then redo the assessment by selecting the student you will reassess.

Click to view the Assessment Rubric and highlight the rubric cells indicating the level of proficiency for each student in each category. Check to see that the correct points appear at the bottom right of the rubric before submitting.

Finally, resubmit the assessment.
