After accessing using the block_importrubric, you'll get an option to upload a CSV file.

The plugin will check for the settings.php validations if set in the administration page.

It will also check that the total score matches the activity max score.

Additionally, it validates repeated scores between levels of the same criteria.

After importing, the rubric will save as a draft and redirect to the manage.php of the module
activity inside the course for quick verification of the rubric.

🚀 Installation:

1. Place this customgradingform_renderer folder inside /local/.


2. Make sure the plugin block/block_importrubric is also installed.


3. Go to Site Administration to complete the installation.


4. Add the block to any valid activity (as a teacher or manager).


5. You can also use the plugin installation module integrated in Moodle.
