Activate Nubric for all teachers in your organization

Use this guide if you are a Google Workspace or LMS administrator and want to make Nubric available to all teachers in your institution. This guide helps you choose the appropriate deployment method and understand what teachers will experience once Nubric has been enabled.

After completing this guide, teachers in your organization will be able to access Nubric through your institutional platform and start creating and assigning quizzes without performing any additional institutional setup.

Before you begin

Requirements

• Administrator access to your Google Workspace domain or LMS.
• Permission to install and manage third-party educational tools.
• Access to the Nubric deployment information required by your platform.

Steps

Deploy Nubric through Google Workspace

1. Follow Google's official documentation to install and approve Nubric for your organization.
2. Confirm that Nubric is available to the teachers who should have access.
3. Verify that teachers can sign in to Nubric using their institutional Google accounts.

Deploy Nubric through an LMS

1. Choose the deployment guide corresponding to your LMS:

3. Verify that Nubric appears as an available external tool for instructors.

Confirm the teacher's experience

1. Ask a teacher to launch Nubric from the configured platform.

Options and variations

If you're using Google Workspace

Teachers can use Nubric with Google Classroom. Depending on your Google for Education plan, they may also be able to use the Nubric Google Classroom add-on directly from the assignment creation workflow.

If you're using Canvas

Once the LTI deployment is complete, teachers can launch Nubric as an External Tool directly from Canvas assignments without requiring a separate login.

If you're using Blackboard

Teachers can access Nubric from Blackboard courses and, if enabled, grades can be returned automatically to the Blackboard gradebook.

If you're using D2L/Brightspace

Teachers can launch Nubric through the External Learning Tool workflow and manage activities without leaving Brightspace.

Common errors

Teachers cannot see Nubric

The deployment may not be enabled for the appropriate users, courses, or organizational units. Review the visibility settings in your platform configuration.

Users cannot sign in

Your institution may restrict access to third-party applications. Verify that Nubric has been approved in accordance with your organization's security policies.

Nubric does not appear in Google Classroom

Your Google Workspace configuration or subscription may not support Classroom add-ons. If teachers encounter authorization issues, see Understanding Google Classroom permissions and restrictions in Nubric.

Security and deployment considerations

Nubric is designed to integrate with existing educational platforms using industry-standard authentication and interoperability mechanisms.

• Google Workspace deployments use Google's authorization and permission controls.
• LMS integrations are based on the LTI 1.3 standard.
• Administrators retain control over who can access Nubric and how it is deployed.
• Teachers and students continue working within the platforms already used by the institution.

Once deployed, Nubric can be rolled out confidently across your organization using the same administrative processes commonly used for other educational applications.
