Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for instructure/canvas-lms focusing on rubric system modernization to improve assignment-level governance and editing UX. Completed a targeted feature overhaul to centralize rubric controls at the assignment level, removing rubric customization from account and course levels. Enhanced instructor UX by eliminating multi-assignment warnings during rubric edits and introducing a confirmation modal when assignment-level base rubric settings are modified to surface potential impacts on student scores. These changes reduce admin complexity, mitigate risk of incorrect score calibration, and lay groundwork for scalable rubric policies across courses.
