How to migrate/convert your Turnitin rubric to a Blackboard rubric
Below is a guide on how to migrate or convert your rubrics from Turnitin to Blackboard, to help migrate all rubrics to Blackboard Assignments.
Step 1: Download The Turnitin Rubric
Step 1: Download the Turnitin Rubric
Go to the module site where you have your Turnitin assignment and rubric.
Tip: You can access a Turnitin rubric from any Turnitin assignment where there are submissions if you want to ‘bulk’ download them.
To download an existing Turnitin rubric, open an existing assignment paper where it was used.
Click on the Rubric header on the right-hand panel.
Then click on Settings. This will launch the Rubric viewing page below.
Click on the 3 lines at the top left-hand side. Then select Download.
The file has been saved and is now ready to be uploaded to the Blackboard assignment.
Step 2: Upload the Turnitin rubric
Go to the Module site where you intend to create the Blackboard assignment / where the rubric needs to be added.
On the right-hand panel, click on ‘Books and Tools’.
Navigate down to the Rubric Conversion tool and click on it.
The Rubric Conversion page will open.
Under Source Type, select RBC. Under Rubric Type select either Points or Percentage as necessary.
Leave the Course ID as it is.
Click Choose File, then select the Turnitin RBC file on your PC that you downloaded in Step 1.
Once you have added the rbc file you get a Preview of it as above. Please check it and make sure it is correct.
To upload it, click on Transform and Send Rubrics to Blackboard
Once you have clicked this, check the message to confirm it has been correctly added:
Your old Turnitin rubric has now been converted and uploaded ready to be used on a Blackboard assignment.
Step 3: Add the rubric to a Blackboard Assignment

Click on the cog at the top to go into the Settings.
Navigate down to the section called ‘Use marking rubric’. Click on Add Marking Rubric.
