If you have created a rubric and attached it to a Turnitin assignment in your Moodle course, it is available to any of your colleagues who are also grading that assignment.


Note: When using a shared rubric for a Turnitin assignment, only the person who has imported the rubric will have access to edit and view the rubric using the Rubric Manager. All other colleagues will only have access to view and use the rubric when grading assignments. 




If you wish to share your rubric with colleagues to use on other Moodle courses and Turnitin assignments, you will need to export it and email it to them as an attachment or save it to a shared drive. They can then import it to their own Turnitin account.
