Convert rubric files and images into Google Classroom rubrics with help from Gemini
Building on our October launch, Gemini in Google Classroom can now help educators more easily convert rubric files and images into Google Classroom rubrics, right within the assignment creation workflow. Educators can now upload more file types, such as .jpeg and .png files. For example, by uploading a photo of a physical rubric or using existing files, Gemini in Classroom can help educators quickly generate structured, interactive rubrics within the Classroom interface. They can then make edits to the converted rubric before saving it. This Gemini-powered automation reduces manual data entry and helps educators maintain consistent grading standards across their assignments.
With this launch, rubric conversion will be controlled by the Gemini in Classroom setting in the Admin console. If Gemini in Classroom is disabled for your organization, you’ll no longer be able to convert rubrics from documents or images.
This feature is only available in English for users over age 18.
