Impact: Administrators
Rubrics are a valuable tool for instructor-to-student communication about performance expectations. Rubrics also help instructors with consistent and unbiased grading. Rubrics may also enable students to self-assess their performance on an assessment. Some rubrics may also be aligned to Goals. In a recent release, we included an option for REST API to read rubrics. Now we are happy to make available a new public Goals API.
This new API provides a suite of GET endpoints that allow users to read:
- Goals
- Goal Sets
- Goal Set Types
- Goal Categories
This allows developers to read matrices of criteria that enable measurements of student performance.
For administrators: The REST integration user must have the privilege “Administrator Panel (Tools and Utilities) > Goals.”
