There are simple step-by-step instructions provided by Microsoft on making rubrics.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Make a new rubric

1. Navigate to the General channel in one of your classes and select the Assignments tab.

2. Select Create > Assignment.

3. Select Add rubric, then + New rubric. This will open the rubric creator.

4. Add a Title (required), optional Description, and turn on Points if you'd like to assign point values to your grading criteria.

5. Customize your grading criteria:

The Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor defaults can be edited to match your own grading strategy. Customize points here, too, if you decided to add them.

Use the plus signs to add new columns and rows to your criteria.

Select the copy icon to duplicate a row or column.

Select the garbage can icon to delete a row or column.

Tip: Enter a percentage of 100 if you'd like to weight some criteria more heavily than others. Make sure everything totals up to 100. If you need to, select Evenly distribute weights to re-set all your percentages.

6. Finish filling in the details of your assignment and then select Assign to send it to your students. When students open this assignment, they'll be able to open your rubric and look at it for reference.

Tip: Preview your student's view of the assignment by opening it and then selecting Student view.

Re-use a rubric you've already made

Every time you create a rubric and attach it to an assignment, it will be saved to your rubric list. To re-use a rubric:

1. Navigate to the General channel in one of your classes and select the Assignments tab.

2. Select Add rubric and choose a rubric from the list, then select Next.

3. Make any edits you need to the rubric.

Grade student work using a rubric

1. Navigate to the General channel in your class and select the Assignments tab.

2. Select the assignment you're reviewing.

3. Select the rubric name and it will open to the side of the student's document.

4. As you review your student's work, use the dropdown menu or arrows to choose the criteria you're assessing.

5. Select the corresponding score you want to give the student for that criterion. When you select it, the scoring square will turn blue.

6. Enter any personalized feedback you'd like to pair with this criteria in the feedback box.

Note: You can also pop out the grading rubric if you prefer to look at the whole grid at once while making your selections.

7. If you set point values and weighting while creating your rubric, points for the assignment will already be tabulated. Add additional feedback here if you'd like, too.

When a student receives their returned work, they can open their rubric and see how you scored their work, including your personalized feedback:

Delete a rubric so that it no longer appears in your rubric list. This will not remove the rubric from assignments where it's already attached.

1. Select Add rubric in a new or existing assignment draft.

2. Select the x next to the rubric you'd like to remove.

Note: Rubrics attached to draft assignments can't be deleted.

Share rubrics you've created in Microsoft Teams by downloading them as a .csv file. When the .csv is uploaded back into Teams, the rubric will retain all of the original's structure and content. Simply adapt for your own use and attach to an assignment.

Download a rubric for sharing

1. Navigate to the General channel in one of your classes and select the Assignments tab.

2. Select the rubric to open it.

3. Select Download as .csv and follow the prompts to save your rubric as a .csv file.

Now, the .csv file is all set to share with other educators. Share to a PLC or Staff team to give everyone access.

Upload a .csv rubric file to Teams

Follow these steps to add a .csv rubric that's been shared with you.

1. Select Upload rubric and choose your .csv file, then select Next.

2. Review the rubric you've added in the rubric creator window and make any adjustments.

I like this rubric because it can be linked to your google classroom, which is convenient and easy for our students to see exactly what the assignments and expectations are for class. The rubric is attached to the assignment. The teacher can use the rubric to save time and mark the student's work.

Google classrooms allow you to add different levels or criteria with different amounts of points for each. This helps to show the weight of each criterion.

I work for a community college, and our instructors manage most of their course content using Canvas. There are a few features that stand out to me with Canvas Rubrics.
1. They are customizable. I appreciate that instructors can choose between using strict point values and point ranges depending on the needs of their courses.
2. Rubrics can be attached to assessments like papers, discussions, etc. This feature makes it easy for instructors to grade and for students to visualize feedback.
3. Students can see the rubrics before they start their work. That way, they can understand better how their work will be graded and what areas they may need to focus on.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Once you have added a rubric, you can select several options for the rubric.

If you want to write free-form comments to students in SpeedGrader, select the I'll write free-form comments... checkbox [1]. If this option is selected, no ratings are used to assess the student and criterion values are assigned manually.

If you want to remove points from the rubric, select the Remove points from rubric checkbox [2]. If this option is selected, no points are associated with the rubric, but students can still be rated using the rubric criterion.

If you have the Learning Mastery Gradebook enabled but you don't want outcome results to be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook, select the Don't post Outcomes results to Learning Mastery Gradebook checkbox [3]. If this option is selected, students will be able to see rubric and outcome results in the Grades and submission details pages but results will not be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook.

If you want to use the rubric for grading in SpeedGrader, select the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox [4].

If you don't want students to see the score total for the rubric, select the Hide score total for assessment results checkbox [5]. Students can still see the point values for each criterion, but the total score will not be shown at the bottom of the rubric. This option is only available if the rubric is not used for grading.

After much searching and testing of different rubric tools, I am very excited to share that I found a tool that is free, easy to use, and works!

The interface is simple to build a rubric right from the start. A user can create their account at any time (before, during or after creating a rubric) and only need to create an account if they want to save their rubric. There is no cost at any time or any exclusive pay-for features.

The account/profile provides for 2 main actions: creating new rubrics and accessing saved rubric. To create a rubric simply add the components and descriptions for your assessment. You can add points if desired or have your rubric focused on development over grade. You can easily add or remove columns and rows to fit your desired rubric needs. Once a rubric is created, you can easily view, print, edit, or create a copy to make a new rubric from.

Some downsides are you can only print or save your rubric as a pdf for electronic use and both include the Quick Rubric branding logo large at the very top. The rubric doesn't export for other file types that you can easily add feedback into, but you can share a link to your digital rubric for others to view/access. There also aren't any templates for inspiration you can use or recreate from (however, the internet has plenty of these).

The site does offer some additional information to support users with getting started that I found useful:

--John Doe
I like the idea of using Google Forms as a way of generating rubrics for a couple of reasons.  First off, if you are not using Google Classroom, but are still using other G Suite apps, it is a natural fit.  Because it doesn't have to be just instructor-generated, I loved the idea presented in the article by Alice Keeler (a Google teacher mastermind) of being able to use them for peer or self-assessment, not just teacher assessment.  As I got deeper into Google apps in my teaching career, I also discovered an appreciation for being able to collect, sort and review data collected in Google Sheets, which the Google Form option easily allows.  You could have master spreadsheets that the whole class or groups have access to or just for individual students or teacher access, but it gives you a lot of data points in one easily accessible place to manipulate and review as you see fit.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Google Forms has so many applications for education. For students to fill out to submit data to the teacher, for the teacher to record data on observations about students, for students and teachers to monitor their progress on a task they are tracking, for self and peer evaluation and so much more. Google Forms is the magic ingredient to help your classroom go paperless. Almost anything you were collecting on paper can now be collected through a Google Form.

Google Forms are great for using as a rubric. It allows you to quickly assess each student against the rubric and have all of the results in one spreadsheet for you to analyze.

Self and Peer Evaluation

I am big into self and peer evaluation where students fill out the rubric for their own work or that of their peers. A little math: 30 students evaluating 30 students is 900 pieces of paper!! I do not want to collect and look through and organize 900 pieces of paper. Using a Google Form those 900 lines of data are neatly organized in a spreadsheet.

Once that rubric data is in the spreadsheet I am able to make formulas to calculate averages or charts to see patterns. Create a pivot table to look at how peers evaluated each other. I will use a pivot table to look at how many 1's, 2's, 3's or 4's a student handed out. If they gave out all 4's I start to think they were not taking the peer evaluation process seriously. On the other end I will run a pivot table on the scores the students gave each student. The pivot table will automatically tell me how many 1's, 2's, 3's, and 4's the student was evaluated at and can give me an average score instantly.

The style of question you want to use on the Google Form is a Grid.

The Grid style question does not allow you to put in the descriptive text that goes in each box of the rubric. What you can do is link to the full rubric, in a Google Doc of course, in the help text. I use the Chrome extension " ShortenMe" to quickly create short URL's of the webpage I am on. Pasting the full URL to the Google Doc in the help text will probably be overwhelming for the student. Try my rubric template to help you build rubrics: Click Here

I find it a little confusing that the rows come first in the Grid question and the columns second so I tend to fill out the columns section of the Grid first. My preference is to put the highest value first, sends a positive message, but you should have it match the order that your rubric is displayed in. I will use something like: 4 - Excellent, 3 - Above Average, 2 - Average and 1 - Poor. The problem with this is that you are now mixing text with numbers and you can not average text.

The rows are the criteria for the rubric.

Click Here to submit sample data to my Google Form. The results are public so you should not use your real information.
Click Here to view the results.

Looking at the spreadsheet data you may need to replace all of the "4 - Excellent" with just the number 4. Use Find and Replace.

Click and Copy

Click on one of the cells that has the rubric values and use Control C to copy (Command C on the Mac). By copying you will ensure that what you are finding is spelled exactly the way it is in your spreadsheet.

Control F

In most webpages you can use Control F to find things on the page. (Command F on the Mac.) Control F in a spreadsheet will bring up a search box in the upper right hand corner of the grid. Use Control V to paste the rubric result in the search box. (Command V on the Mac.)

Dot Dot Dot

The triple dots to the right of the search box allows you to find and replace. Click on this button.

Replace All

Replace the value with just the number value. So instead of "4 - Excellent" the cells will only show "4." You may want to choose to only do this on this sheet and not in the whole spreadsheet. I usually like to duplicate the Google Forms data tab so that I do not mess up the original data. I will perform this find and replace on the duplicated sheet. Click on "Replace all."

Repeat these steps for each rubric option so that the rubric results only show numbers and not help text.

I found this generator to be very simple to use.  It is free which also makes it attractive.
There are some limitations in that you are made to pick subject matter/content that is closet to your course material.  There are multiple choices within this however and in some ways can help to consider in your formulation or iteration.  The functions are fairly standard with Save, Print, Edit, and Analyze.  Sharing is also somewhat limited as it would only be in terms of distributed PDF.

there are so many choices, which can make one feel very overwhelmed and not knowing where to start or what to choose.
I have not seen or used any other rubrics so far, expect this online course. At least now, I have a general idea how to read them, and review these as a student of this class. As a language teacher/technical trainer I have zero experience of building or posting them. This is going to be a learning curve for sure. I am looking forward to building a rubric this week :)

I love rubrics and have been accustomed to building them using spreadsheets or tables within a Google Doc. I honestly didn't know there was such a plethora of online rubric generators. My personal opinion is iRubric is the best. iRubric is easy to use, very intuitive, and had a lot of features that would be useful for making, editing/revising, and SAVING rubrics. Like I mentioned, I have been used to creating rubrics from scratch using Google suite so I struggle to keep my rubrics organized in Google drive with all the other stuff in there. iRubric would be an excellent tool for me to keep my rubrics organized and have the ability to save and edit them at anytime. Also, the ability to look at other rubrics out there in their gallery was amazing. I think accessing other rubrics from other creators is definitely one of its key features. I hope you like it as much as I do - I can't wait to use it this year.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Rubrics are an advanced grading method used for criteria-based assessment. The rubric consists of a set of criteria plotted against levels of achievement. A numeric grade is assigned to each level. For each criterion, the assessor chooses the level they judge the work to have reached. The raw rubric score is calculated as a sum of all criteria grades. The final grade is calculated by comparing the actual score with the worst/best possible score that could be received.

Enable a rubric in your assignment

There are two ways.

The first is at the point of setting up the Assignment.

1. In your assignment's Settings, expand the Grade section.

2. From the Grading method menu, choose Rubric.

3. Note the Maximum grade setting - whatever numeric grade you assign to your criteria levels, the ultimate grade for the assignment will be recalculated as the proportion of that maximum grade.

4. Save the settings; Rubric is now enabled for that particular Assignment.

The other is via the Assignment's Settings block:

1. From the Assignment's summary page, in its Settings block, click Advanced grading; a new page displays a menu.

2. From the Change active grading method to menu, choose Rubric; this initiates the rubric setup process.

Define your rubric

To define a new rubric from scratch:

1. Go to the Rubric editor via the Advanced grading link in the assignment's Settings block.

2. Click Define a new rubric from scratch.

3. Type in a brief distinctive Name and (if needed) a description.

4. Click to edit a criterion and Click to edit level lets you tab through the rubric to type a description and assign points to each level.

5. Describe further criteria and levels as appropriate.

6. Set Rubric options.

7. Finally save the rubric definition by clicking Save rubric and make it ready or Save as draft. These set the form definition status respectively as described at the Advanced grading methods page.

Notes:

Unless there is a good reason otherwise, enable Allow users to preview rubric so that they know in advance the standards by which they will be judged. Enabling Remarks allows assessors to make constructive suggestions for each criterion.

Numeric points are required, but if you want to use your rubric to give feedback without a numeric grade it is possible to hide these from students, and hide the final calculated grade from students.

You can enter negative points, for example as a late submission penalty.

You can modify the weight of any criterion by setting the value of the points assigned to its levels. If there is one criterion with levels 0, 1, 2, 3 and the second one with levels 0, 2, 4, 6 then the latter's impact on the final grade is twice as much as the former's.

You can use the Tab key to jump to the next level/criteria and even to add new criteria.

In Moodle 3.2 onwards, a new rubric option 'Calculate grade based on the rubric having a minimum score of 0' allows you to choose whether the grade is calculated as in previous versions of Moodle (box unticked) or whether an improved calculation method is used (box ticked). Please see below for details of the calculation.

Grading submissions with a rubric

1. To access the submissions, click a link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.

2. Click Grade; the Student Grading Page displays the work of the first student listed in the Grading Table.

3. The rubric you have set up will display as a table on one side of the screen - you can display it larger by clicking its Expand / arrowheads icon (to dock the rubric, click the icon again).

4. For each criterion, select a level by clicking in its cell; when selected the level displays shaded (default pale green).

5. If enabled on the rubric form, you can type in comments for each criterion.

6. Save changes.

Notes:

As well as the rubric you can add summary Feedback comments for the work, and optionally Feedback files.

A level must be selected for each criterion, otherwise the rubric is not validated by the server as the final grade can't be calculated.

If the rubric filling is re-edited later, the previously selected level displays temporarily shaded (default: pink).

Students may need to be instructed to scroll down to find the completed rubric and any other comments - the example rubric continues to display at the top of their assignment Submission status page.

Grade calculation

The rubric normalized score (ie basically a percentage grade) is calculated as

where is the number of points given to the i-th criterion, is the minimal possible number of points for of the i-th criterion, is the maximal possible number of points for the i-th criterion and is the number of criteria in the rubric.

Example of a single criterion can be: Overall quality of the paper with the levels 5 - An excellent paper, 3 - A mediocre paper, 0 - A weak paper (the number represent the number of points).

Example: let us have an assessment form with two criteria, which both have four levels 1, 2, 3, 4. The teacher chooses level with 2 points for the first criterion and 3 points for the second criterion. Then the normalized score is:

Note that this calculation may be different from how you intuitively use rubric. For example, when the teacher in the previous example chose both levels with 1 point, the plain sum would be 2 points. But that is actually the lowest possible score so it maps to the grade 0 in Moodle.

How students access the rubric

Assuming 'Allow users to preview rubric' is ticked (recommended), when students click on an assignment which has a rubric attached to it, they will see the rubric as part of the information about their assignment. Thus, they can see the rubric before they submit.

How teachers access the rubric

Teachers will see the rubric when they click 'View/grade all submissions' and access the work of a particular student. They don't by default see the rubric on the grading page before grading. If you wish to allow teachers to see the rubric, then the site administrator must set the capability mod/assign:submit to 'Allow' for the editing teacher role in that assignment (or sitewide if really necessary). NOTE: This then has the side effect of the teacher appearing in the gradebook.

Where do you go to edit a rubric?

To edit a rubric go to Administration > Assignment Administration > Advanced grading > Define Rubric. Select 'Rubric' from Change active grading method to drop down menu. You can see your created rubric with three options above Edit the current form definition, Delete the currently defined form, Publish the form as a new template. Click "Edit the current form definition" to edit your predefined rubric form.

Can you copy rows of the rubric?

A 'duplicate' button allows you to quickly make a copy of a row:

How do you choose another rubric for an assignment?

From Administration>Assignment administration>Advanced grading access your rubric and delete it. The see #5 in Advanced grading methods

Why are total grades coming out strange?

If you are using a criterion without a 0-points level or with a level with negative points, then the rubric option 'When converting rubric score to points/scale assume that minimum number of points is 0' (new in 3.2) should be ticked to avoid unexpected grades.

Rubrics are a time-honored tool in the classroom. They identify the goal of a particular lesson, communicate clear expectations to students in regard to their work, and spell out the criteria for success. With a rubric in place, you can assess how well your students understood and learned the lesson, and if you need to reteach certain concepts.

Think of the rubric as a road map for each lesson or concept you are trying to teach. Teachers who use rubrics have a clear path for instruction and a means by which to assess student progress.

How rubrics help teachers:

Provides focus on the desired outcome of the lesson

Helps to eliminate distractions related to the lesson topic

Allows for faster and more accurate grading

Clarifies lesson elements that may need additional attention

How rubrics help students:

Defines the goal of the lesson for students

Specifies the elements that make up the lesson

Allows them to check their work against the rubric to determine if they meet all criteria

Sets up expectations for fairness in grading

But creating a rubric takes time and careful consideration of the lesson you want to teach. Do you want to assess each element of the lesson separately? Do you want to evaluate all the lesson criteria together as a whole? Will you be grading each task individually or will your assessment cover the family of tasks as one?

Creating Rubrics Online

In today's technology-driven world, creating rubrics online is a way to simplify the process. There are numerous rubric makers to be found online, for practically every need - Common Core, Project-Based Learning, custom and premade.

Online free rubric makers

Rubrics for PBIS
Can you use rubrics for your PBIS program?
Teachers have been creating behavior charts for years, so using a rubric for PBIS isn't much of a stretch. A rubric will help spell out exactly the behavior you want to see from students and allow you to award points based on those behavioral goals. Rubrics can be used schoolwide to focus both students and staff on desired behavior.

In the classroom, using a rubric can provide clarity to your lessons and help you to become a more efficient educator. By having clear goals for each lesson you teach, you know exactly what to assess when you're grading the assignment. Your students know the purpose of that assignment. They are able to plan their work based on the criteria contained in the rubric. And at the completion of the lesson, you'll be able to clearly see if any concepts need additional instruction.

How do you use rubrics in your classroom?

Like others have mentioned, I think using the google docs, sheets or forms are all great ways to display a rubric with the increasing levels of mastery. I like that when you make your rubric with these, you really have full control, whereas if you use a premade one or a program that makes them, sometimes you can feel limited with their levels of understanding.

This an extensive and exhaustive rubric provided by CreativeCommons.org. What I like about this rubric is that I can pick choose a particular section or sections of the rubric for consideration. It provides an easy way for me to visually see what concerns might arise in any given section and it allows me to identify and to be able to explain to others what success looks like. I think this could be used for ID, content, and possibly an LMS or third party content for an LMS.

I tried out Rubric Maker (https://rubric-maker.com/). Not the most creative name, but I liked it quite a bit! I appreciate that it's pretty customizable; you can edit the text in most fields and the number of points for each category. I especially like that it also includes a checklist in addition to the rubric table, and that you can set the education level.

While this rubric maker is straightforward, without a lot of bells and whistles, it has a lot of helpful features. There is a free version that would likely meet most needs. The thing that drew me to this over other rubric makers is there are preset options for different levels that automatically generate suggestions for Rubric level titles. For example, the elementary one says "Great job!" where the post secondary one says "Exceeds expectations" They also provide content categories, but you can create your own that autofill into the dropdown as options easily. There are tiered pay options that include a library of precreated templates, multiple users to collaborate in the same rubric space, direct shares to students and more!

I looked at Rubistar. It has templates that can be used as a starting point. After choosing criteria from a dropdown, it populates fields with text that you can edit further. I appreciate both since I don't have much experience writing rubrics. One thing that is not so good is the website design looks very dated.

# data[].attributes.body
I know others have posted about Rubistar but I wanted to add that I really love the drop down menus. I've spent countless hours developing just the right wording for rubrics that may never even be looked at by high school students. So I really appreciate the ability to swiftly develop a decent rubric for a lab report or a smaller project. I still would probably do my own rubric development on higher stakes projects or assessments though, just to ensure it is tailored to my current population of students. Some downsides, it only gives you 40 mins to complete it and the website is nothing pretty, but it does it's job.

I will say in terms of easiest in rubric generator - the Google classroom or the TEAMS assignments might be the most automatic. Unfortunately, I couldn't test the TEAMS or Google one because my TEAMS account doesn't have that tab and it seems limited to education accounts - I tried multiple times and watched tutorials and I just don't have the feature. Same goes for Google Classroom. Both sound like great options from what I read but I can't really attest to it without the ability to test them. I decided to go with Miro which automatically has several easy to use rubrics/syllabus templates. I have linked one above. Compared to the usual rubrics you might be used to seeing, I think a visual board version can be great way to disrupt the tradition. You can add images, drawings, and more. It's not only visually appealing but can be easily customized and shared.

I didn't see a place for LMS-integrated rubrics, so I'm posting this in this category. Others have shared it as well, but what I like about it is that I've been happy in the past to see it as a student. I love that it's integrated directly into the submission pages on both discussion boards and assignments. For students, I think that can be the easiest place to find something, and it's good to have the reminder before you submit an assignment. Since it's part of Canvas, it's also integrated into feedback/grading. I'm using Canvas as an example here, but my plan in using a rubric would be primarily to really try to use whatever rubric tool comes with my LMS as a first choice, and only look for a change if I had identified specific features that were deal-breakers.

Once you have added a rubric, you can select several options for the rubric.

If you want to write free-form comments to students in SpeedGrader, select the I'll write free-form comments... checkbox [1]. If this option is selected, no ratings are used to assess the student and criterion values are assigned manually.

If you want to remove points from the rubric, select the Remove points from rubric checkbox [2]. If this option is selected, no points are associated with the rubric, but students can still be rated using the rubric criterion.

If you have the Learning Mastery Gradebook enabled but you don't want outcome results to be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook, select the Don't post Outcomes results to Learning Mastery Gradebook checkbox [3]. If this option is selected, students will be able to see rubric and outcome results in the Grades and submission details pages but results will not be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook.

If you want to use the rubric for grading in SpeedGrader, select the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox [4].

If you don't want students to see the score total for the rubric, select the Hide score total for assessment results checkbox [5]. Students can still see the point values for each criterion, but the total score will not be shown at the bottom of the rubric. This option is only available if the rubric is not used for grading.

Because I use Canvas for my classes and job as faculty development coordinator, Canvas rubrics are the easiest and most convenient to use. I also like that you can make them as simple as possible, or add more information if you want.

Rubrics are a way to set up custom or Outcome-based assessment criteria for scoring.

A Rubric is an assessment tool for communicating expectations of quality. Rubrics are typically comprised of rows and columns. Rows are used to define the various criteria being used to assess an assignment. Columns are used to define levels of performance for each criterion.

Rubrics can be set up as non-scoring rubrics, which allows for assessment-based and outcome-based grading without points.

View a video about rubrics.

Account Rubrics

Account-level rubrics are rubrics that are created at the account or sub-account level. They can be used by any course within that account or sub-account for assignments, discussions, or quizzes. If an account-level rubric is used in more than one place, it becomes uneditable, but is still usable.

Account-level rubrics can be used to create institutional or departmental question repositories. The purpose of account-level rubrics is to provide resources for teachers, not control content. For example, if the English department offered several courses to teach basic grammar rules to students, a department could create a sub-account level rubric. Instructors could then access the rubric to offer the same evaluation standards to students in different courses.

Course Rubrics

Course-level rubrics are either created at the course level or copied from the account or sub-account level. Once a rubric has been used to assess a student, the rubric cannot be edited. However, existing rubrics can be recopied and used on other assignments.

When would I use a Rubric?

Use a Rubric to:

Communicate assessment expectations to users.

Align pre-defined learning Outcomes to your course assignments and assessments.

Assess online submissions in the SpeedGrader.

I really like using Google Sheets, Forms, and Docs for my rubrics. First, they are incredibly versatile. You can update your rubrics easily as well as have easy access to results. Not to mention they are easily accessible for learners. This opens opportunities for students to interact with the rubric and potentially assess themselves ahead of time.

I wanted to add a unique option to the Padlet, so I offer you the EdTechTeacher's Rubric Resource page. Much like the SchrockGuide, it's not a rubric creator per se, however, it houses numerous rubrics in a variety of technology oriented areas that assess: Podcasts, Blogs, Technology & Social Media, Websites, Digital Portfolios, Wikis, etc.  It also links to many of the popular Rubric Creation sites. Finally, the rubrics that they do link to are often editable in either Word or Adobe, so you can add your unique spin on them if you want.

The first thing to realize is that you cannot separate the user from the device. iPads, Chromebooks, and tech tools themselves don't demonstrate great learning; it's about what students do with the technology that matters. The technology itself is simply neutral. Consider: would a teacher grade the pen a student used to write an essay? Of course not! They grade what the student writes. It's what students create with the tool that is at the heart of learning and assessment.Formative vs. Summative AssessmentPerformance is most often analyzed through formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment is ongoing and provides information needed to adjust teaching and learning for a more effective outcome. It not only helps to monitor student progress throughout an activity, but can also gauge student understanding and readiness to proceed to further tasks. Alternately, summative assessment focuses on a particular point in time, such as a test at the end of a unit or grading term.Regardless, whether the immediate assessment is formative or summative, a teacher needs to be able to distinguish between the capabilities of the tool and the students' performance using it. To illustrate, anyone can easily produce a visually stunning and captivating video presentation using iMovie as it has built-in easy-to-use professional effects. Therefore, to assess a movie presentation effectively, the teacher needs evidence of the thinking that went into the creation of the movie. Rather than grade the end product, educators must focus on the process - research, writing, image selection, etc.

This allows teachers to focus on learning throughout the whole project rather than the flashy, finished product.

Rubrics to Measure Student Learning

Providing detailed explanations of an assignment using an online rubric, created with tools such as Rubistar or Digital Media Scoring Guides, can assist students in both completing tasks and thinking about their performance. Additionally, these tools allow teachers to create rubrics for assessment quickly with a greater level of meaningful feedback. They can also easily be shared among teachers and saved or modified for future assignments.

General Rubric Generator

This tool guide you through creating a rubric. Fill in the information below.

What Is the Purpose of a Rubric?

A rubric is a tool that helps teachers rate work done in class. Teachers use these rubrics to grade work done by their students. In this post, we'll look at what is a rubric and what is the purpose of a rubric in education. We'll look at how teachers use the rubric and how students can benefit from it.
What is a Rubric?
A rubric is a scoring tool, usually used with a scoring scale, to evaluate the quality of a piece of work by grading against a predetermined set of criteria. A rubric provides a range of scores in each criterion so that even if a student has produced low-quality work, they can get some numeric value for it.

Rubrics play a great role in making learning easier for students and assessment hassle-free for teachers.
Clear Learning Goals
A rubric provides criteria based on the learning goals of a lesson. By having a rubric handy, students know what learning objectives they're focusing on and must achieve to succeed in their class.
Fair Assessment
Since teachers assign scores to each criterion, they evaluate every student's work on that basis. This process ensures every student has been awarded unbiased and fair marks for their assignment.
Tool for Self Assessment
Providing a rubric forehand makes students aware of the expected standard of work. This awareness leads to students using the rubric for self-assessing their work before submission and using it as a guide while producing their work.
Standardized Marking
During assessments, having a rubric ensures that teachers mark students on the same criteria all over the grade. Having two different teachers teaching the same class to different groups of students can often result in discrepancies simply because of two different mindsets. Rubric brings teachers on the same page ensuring all students are assessed fairly.
Saved Grading Time
Rubrics provide easy guidelines and specific scores for each criterion, reducing grading time for teachers. Teachers don't have to spend hours thinking of a suitable grade or the overall calculation if they use rubrics. The efficient approach of grading assignments with a rubric results in faster feedback that helps students learn.
Accurate and Fair Assessment
Checking hundreds of papers increases the possibility of errors. However, with the help of a rubric, the chances of mistakes or unintentional bias are lessened as the criteria for each learning goal are well-defined.
Long Term Usage
Teachers can easily use rubrics for years by just tweaking a few details. They can repeatedly use rubrics for similar types of projects or assignments, such as different types of writing tasks. Teachers can also share these rubrics to relieve a fellow teacher's workload.
Conclusion
Using rubrics is an effective and time-saving evaluation strategy that helps teachers stay consistent with their grading. It also aids students by laying out all the learning objectives in front of them and what is expected of them in each project or assignment. Students strive to work to meet the set standards and plan their work accordingly. Teachers and students must benefit from this tool to make their teaching and learning process easy and efficient.

After exploring many websites and available resrouces, I found many to generate simple tables that I could have created in google doc/Word. As a classroom teacher, I have never used a generator before, instead I have created my own rubrics in word or google docs since they are easy to use and for me to assess work. I see the benefit of a rubric generator, especially for adult learning and elearning tasks that may be more complex in nature than my current elementary student assessments. I like that irubric allows for the creator to archive rubrics to use again and easily store them in one place. I also like that it is FREE! I didn't expore much beyond the rubric generator portion of the site, but I noticed it has a header of surveys and more options. Neat site and seems useful!

For as much as I critique Canvas for their interface, as an educator I do love all the bells and whistles. This includes their rubric creator.
You can custom make a rubric for as many assignments as you wish and they autosave for future assignments.
My favorite part is that they are also used in grading submissions. As the teacher while grading, you can click each box within the rubric and it will auto add the points for you, no manual math. Click save and on to the next submission. It cuts grading time in half!

This rubric creation tool has been mentioned in this feed already. What I like about it is that it is very easy and straightforward to edit and restructure. I also appreciate that you don't need to create an account on the site in order to jump right into generating a new rubric. I found the scoring mechanism to be convenient (no need to do the math). This tool would be helpful for those who are intimidated by an empty Word or Excel document and need a little structure to get started.

For myself, it is important to choose an option that is easy to implement in my place of employment and makes it easy for collaboration with SMEs. I am all about working smarter (not harder) and utilizing systems and processes that are already working for myself and my team. 2. Some features that stand out are easy, simple and quick collaboration, editable my multiple parties and allows for sharing, editing and changes. Additionally, the program is easy to use, allowing for fields to be easily added or changed. Additionally, depending on your experience with Forms, you can easily create excel-style tracking documents to manage the project, as well as custom dashboards to maintain the project schedule, and track any key metrics. This will allow me to create a rubric initially and then utilize it as a tracking document or metric report down the road. - Ashley Romatowski

I love Microsoft forms as the functionality of it is pretty versatile. I have never used the rubric function but I am excited to try it out on the next lesson I facilitate. We also facilitate quite a few webinars on Teams and are able to put a survey in at the end with Forms, we also used it to track attendance at a conference that we hosted - we need to track attendance because most of the sessions that we offered were certified for continuing education credits, in the past we had a couple hundred people going in and signing their names at the beginning and end of the class on a physical piece of paper (ugh) with Forms we created  a QR code, had people scan and then fill out which session they were attending at the beginning and checking out at the end. I know this assignment is about assessments and this tool does that quite well, I just wanted to share some of the added functionality we have gotten out of it.

I discovered a set of free rubric templates on Smartsheet created by Kate Eby that I thought were great.

As someone working for an organization without much tech infrastructure, but wanting to impose development structure and implement instructional-design concepts into the content-creation workflow, I very much like the simplicity, customizability, and ease-of-access (i.e., they’re downloadable in common formats) of these free rubrics. The rubrics creator generated a number of different ones for various uses—grading, science experiment, holistic, art, poster, job interview, marketing plan, project management, even a blank, and more—which are all downloadable, usually in several file formats (Word, Excel, PDF, or Smartsheet). I like that the templates provide an initial conceptual framework for me to start with that I can easily customize to suit my needs. The simplicity of the rubrics is key, as it allows me to work directly in the document and customize them however I see fit without having to start from scratch each time. I also like that the rubric creation is not reliant on being connected to the Internet, meaning I can work on them anywhere (an important consideration in the rural environs I sometimes work in).

A variety of options exist for creating rubrics, including software, online tools, and downloadable templates. Templates provide a simple, reusable, and cost-effective solution for making a basic rubric. After downloading a rubric outline template, you can add your own criteria, text, and increase the number of rows or columns as needed.

All rubrics typically contain some version of the following elements:

A description of the task to be evaluated

A rating scale with at least three levels

The criteria used to judge the task

Descriptive language to illustrate how well the task (or performance, item, etc.) meets expectations

The rating scale on a rubric is often a combination of numbers and words (language often ranging from low to high, or poor to excellent quality). Using descriptive language allows for a thorough understanding of different elements of a task or performance, while a numeric scale allows you to quantitatively define an overall score. For example, level one may be worth one point and could be described as "beginner," "low quality," or "needs improvement;" level two could be worth two points and described as "fair" or "satisfactory." The scale would continue up from there, ending with the highest level of exemplary performance.

Each of the criteria can be expanded upon with descriptive phrases to illustrate performance expectations. For example, if you were to evaluate an employee, and one of the criteria is communication skills, you would elaborate on each potential level of performance, such as in the following sample phrases:

Level 1: Rarely shares ideas or exhibits teamwork during meetings or group projects.

Level 2: Occasionally shares ideas or exhibits teamwork during meetings.

Level 3: Often shares ideas or exhibits teamwork during meetings or group projects.

Level 4: Frequently shares ideas or exhibits teamwork in meetings or group projects.

The above copy is just one example phrase with four different qualifiers, but several sentences may be required to demonstrate different aspects of communication skills and how well they are performed in various situations.

This is a bit different of a contribution than what is asked for but here is a really helpful idea about how to create and use rubrics in a different way. A single-point rubric essentially outlines the criteria for "meeting standards" on a task and then leaves room on the sides to write comments on areas of improvement and evidence of exceeding standards. For instance, if a learner "meets" standards on a particular part of the task, one could assign that column a 3. If the learner exceeds standards, that evidence can be shared in written commentary and assigned a 4, and any area that needs improvement could be given a 1 or a 2. This can help provide meaningful, focused, and personalized feedback. This is also a GREAT tool for peer feedback activities.

The practice of using single point rubrics is slowly but surely catching on. The simplicity of these rubrics - with just a single column of criteria, rather than a full menu of performance levels - offers a whole host of benefits:

Teachers find them easier and faster to create, because they no longer have to spend precious time thinking up all the different ways students could fail to meet expectations.

Students find them easier to read when preparing an assignment. With only the target expectations to focus on, they are more likely to read those expectations.

They allow for higher-quality feedback, because teachers must specify key problem areas and notable areas of excellence for that particular student, rather than choosing from a list of generic descriptions.

I first talked about this type of rubric in an earlier post ( Know Your Terms: Holistic, Analytic, and Single-Point Rubrics). If this is the first time you've encountered this type of rubric, reading this will give you some background knowledge on all the different types of rubrics and why the single-point deserves world domination.

To give credit where it's due, I did not come up with the name single point rubric. Although the idea for a simplified rubric with a single set of criteria came to me independently, when I went looking for academic support for its use, I found that the type of rubric I had in mind was given the name "Single Point Rubric" in 2000 during a conference presentation by someone named Mary Dietz. Attending that conference was a researcher named Jarene Fluckiger, who published a study on its effectiveness in 2010. (The reference to Dietz is in Fluckiger's paper, but no one named Dietz has published anything on the topic.)

Show Us Your Rubrics!

I urge you to take one of your most convoluted rubrics and make a single-point version of it. Then show it to the world, so other teachers can learn: Take a screenshot of it and post the picture on Twitter with the hashtag #singlepointrubric. If you aren't on Twitter or don't feel like doing this, just put a link to your rubric in the comments below. Help us start a movement to rid the world of ineffective rubrics!

Another Variation (Added in 2017)

After considering some of the limitations of this format, I played around with the rubric a bit more and came up with this variation:

The original version of the single point rubric allowed no space for actually pointing out when the student hit the standard, apart from maybe circling or highlighting the middle column. With this format, teachers can pinpoint where the student is on each descriptor, then offer feedback, either constructive, positive, or both.

I've used RubiStar rubric creation tools in the past. I like that the site provides editable templates for a variety of topics. It is very simple to customize a rubric without having to create the content from scratch. It's also free, which is a perk!

While I enjoyed the quick templates from Rubistar and Quick Rubric, I do prefer that all my documents be in Google Drive, where the rest of documentation for our company is held.
Google Sheets also gives me more customization over the appearance of the document, which is something important to me.

Many others have pointed out that Forms in microsoft's in house survey platform. We are a Microsoft shop where I work, so I use forms quite a bit. I actually do most of my survey work in Qualtrics, but Forms is great when you need something quick and easy. What I really liked about this set of instructions for building a simple rubric with Forms was the suggested application: having students write rubrics for their assignments. This kind of flipping/empowering activity is good, when you have a class with students who are engaged enough to run with the project.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dump those old paper rubrics and flip the learning! Empower yourself and your students to use Microsoft Forms for the quick evaluation of academic work. This makes grading easy and simplifies the process for students. In fact, it can create a culture of collaboration and self-assessment. Let's explore some ideas for using Microsoft Forms, as well as review Forms features, in the classroom and/or for professional learning.

#1 - Flip Learning

Flipped learning videos enable students to seize anytime, anywhere learning opportunities. However, a challenge for teachers and students involves deepening engagement with the video content. While tools like EdPuzzle and Flipgrid offer built-in assessments and video responses, respectively, they are also more involved than simply filling out a form.

#2 - Check for Understanding

With Microsoft Forms, you are able to gain insight into students' engagement with a video or online activity, including flipped learning videos. Here's the process you can follow:

1. Create a Microsoft Form.

2. Embed a YouTube video, image (such as a Powerpoint slide with information or diagram), or Office Mix.

3. Pose questions that check for understanding about the video.

4. Students complete the questions as they watch the video.

You can review student submissions, as can students, depending on the goal of the check for understanding. Some also rely on Microsoft Forms to create exit tickets. "Exit tickets can be a great way to set up the next day's learning," says Diana Benner (@diben). "Before students leave class, they can be asked for an 'exit ticket' that provides insight into what they learned from the day's activities."

#3 - Empower Students to Create Rubrics

Make it possible for students to collaborate and create their own rubrics for class projects. Not only do you create a culture of teaming, but students will experience a model, purpose-driven learning.

#4 - Remember Awesome Failures

Tracking success can energize learning, while tracking failures can kickstart new directions and possibilities. Use Microsoft Forms to create a digital
space where students and teacher(s) share what did not work and why. When learning new ideas and implementing projects, sharing how you have failed can be an effective motivator.

Having these awesome failures relevant to projects over time can help map out roadblocks and detours that students can take. Create a virtual failure space with Microsoft Forms to capture incomplete implementations or partial success. Model the use of this with your students.

#5 - List Learning Take-Aways

"What are the most important takeaways from today's lesson or reading?" Microsoft Forms can facilitate the list that results from this kind of prompt. Combine this approach with soliciting feedback from the community. As students work on a project, post their works in progress (video or photo) and then invite community members you trust to share their suggestions.

Getting Started with MS Forms

To get started with MS Forms, all you need is an Office 365 account, which is available through your school district or free. Let's walk through the steps:

1. Get an Office 365 account for free.

2. Add a new form.

3. Select the type of questions. You have several choices such as Multiple Choice, Quiz, Text, Rating, Date.

4. Type your question or add media (e.g. YouTube video, image).

5. Publish the form to others in your organization or anyone with the link.

To better understand the possibilities, here is a list of MS Form features.

Creating a Survey

Requires an Office 365 account (free)

Multiple question types, including Choice, Quiz, Text, Rating, and Date

Easily embed YouTube video or images in the question text

Add subtitles (in case you want more instructions; media adding isn't available for subtitles)

Option to shuffle responses

Add question to Quiz computation

Add "Other" to available responses

Organizing Questions

Adjust theme to reflect color of choice or available background image

Preview form using built-in desktop or mobile view

Re-order questions using up/down arrows

Copy/duplicate question

Delete or "trash" question

Branching dependent upon response chosen to a particular question

Sharing Form and Viewing Results

Share form online via copy link, email, QR code download, or web page embedding

Copy link to MS Form and then paste it into OneNote 2016 to embed form for student use

Make it easy to track those who complete the form in your organization or make it available sans tracking for anyone with the link.

Save results as an Excel spreadsheet. After all the responses have been gathered, use Excel to add formulas and sort the data in order to analyze it.

Opening/Closing Form for Completion

Set start/end dates at specific times for when the MS Form is opened or closed for completion.

When form is NOT accepting responses, create a custom message as to why.

View/delete/print individual responses or summary responses in aggregate form with graphs.

See what the average completion time is for the Form.

Also, each question has individual options that you can take advantage of. For example, the Rating question type includes the ability to assign labels. With the Rating question type, you can switch between stars (e.g. 5 stars for great!) or numbers (e.g. 1-5, with 5 being the best).

Conclusion

As you can see, MS Form boasts an extensive list of easy-to-use features. Combine it with one of the five approaches mentioned above to engage learners in your Office 365 classroom. If you are already creating rubrics, exit tickets, or awesome failure walls in Microsoft Forms, I'd love to hear from you!

Using Rubrics: Canvas 101 [MY NAME GOES HERE]

# data[].attributes.body
In my industry, we use the Canvas eLearning Management System, so using Canvas Rubrics fits right in. I like this feature because it is straightforward. You can add as much detail to each Rubric based on course outcomes.

You have the option to create Rubrics directly in an assignment or in the course Rubrics tab.

Depending on the assignment, Rubrics will display in different places.

You can also use the Rubric in three different ways:

1. You can use Rubrics as a reference. You can use rubrics to clarify expectations. Participants can receive feedback without it affecting their grades using the Rubric.

2. You can use rubrics for grading. Assign a rating level to each criterion, and Canvas will add the points.

You can use rubrics to grade and provide free-form commentary. Use rubrics to grade. Instead of selecting a specific rating, manually enter a point value and a comment. This approach may be beneficial for formative assignments or more flexible assignments. You can save free-form comments for future submissions to the same assignment.

We use Canvas at my community college, and I love how simple it is to create customizable rubrics for all of my assignments.

We use Google Drive as well, and it is possible to use a Canvas rubric using Google Cloud Assignments. The key is you have to create the rubric before setting your Google LTI as the External Tool submission type.  You have to save the assignment using a different submission type (for example: Online) and then add the rubric you created. Then go back to edit the assignment and select the Google LTI that you use. In my case, it’s Google Drive Cloud Assignment.

Canvas makes it really easy to modify rubrics, and that is convenient when you have recurrent assignments with a different objective. I often make slight changes to an assignment, and it’s easy to tweak the rubric to fit.

Assigning ratings and points is straightforward, and there’s a place to write descriptions to make it clear for students what they are being scored on. And I like that I can also give personalized comments as additional feedback in each of these sections.

I found this guide for creating a rubric by Anneberg Learner helpful for a few reasons: 1) The step-by-step instructions and examples provided helped me to see what information I need to create a rubric and in what order that information should be considered, 2) I learned how to create a rubric and feel that I eventually won't need this guide when creating rubrics in the future, and 3) It isn't a rubric generator that I have to fight with on formatting or pay for additional features.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are five reasons why I like Quick Rubric:

1.      It’s simple. There’s nothing to sign up for, nothing to download. Simply click on the placeholder text and input your customized information.

2.      It’s free. Enough said. 😊

3.      Automatic point values. Once you insert the minimum and maximum scores, Quick Rubric will automatically distribute the appropriate number of points to each column.

4.      Add and delete rows. Unlike other rubric makers, Quick Rubric allows you to add and delete rows as needed.

5.      Easily share it. You can save your rubric as a PDF or print it. You can also provide a link to your customized rubric so others can view it.

I looked at RubiStar as it is geared towards educators, and I am an educator. I like that it has a tutorial if you are confused on any of the steps of use. I like that it is free as long as you register an account with them. I like that it is customizable in that you can choose a rubric based off of your assignment and edit it or you can build one from scratch. It appears easy to use. A con would be that if you do not hit the submit button within 40 minutes, your data will be lost.

I really like how quick and intuitive this tool is. As long as you have a clear picture of your criteria, you can put together a rubric in minutes. I like how you can enter your max and min scores and it will automatically calculate all the points based on how many categories you have. Rubrics should be simple to follow and I think this tool helps keep things simple.

Rubric Creator is a pretty simple, free tool to be able to create rubrics with as many criteria and components as you like. I like that it has very easy to use addition and subtraction features for the rows and columns. It also has a searchable database of rubrics made by others. One thing I do not like about this tool is that you cannot create an account/save your work, so if you close the tab accidentally, you may lose all of your work.

For help creating criteria for performance descriptors, the AACU has some really great resources over 16 domains in what they call their "VALUE" rubrics. This has links to rubrics for things like critical thinking, information literacy, teamwork, creativity, problem solving, and other factors that are difficult to assess with a paper/pencil or online test. They are OER under a Creative Commons license so they can be reproduced and modified.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Quick Rubric because it is easy to use and has specific places to include the objective/purpose of the assignment and the overall learning objective to be met. It then lets you break down the objective into specific criteria that can be graded according to the guidelines of the rubric. It is fairly easy to add columns and rows, and include information about what qualifies for points in each category. The downside is you do have to create a login to save your work, but it is free to use and you can print a copy of the rubric once created to a PDF for future use. I especially like that it maps out all of the different sections so it is easy to make sure you don't miss anything, and it also emphasizes the "why" by stating the purpose of the assignment and base concepts up front, so hopefully students won't miss the forest for the trees when looking for points.

What Is the Purpose of a Rubric?

A rubric is a tool that helps teachers rate work done in class. Teachers use these rubrics to grade work done by their students. In this post, we'll look at what is a rubric and what is the purpose of a rubric in education. We'll look at how teachers use the rubric and how students can benefit from it.
What is a Rubric?
A rubric is a scoring tool, usually used with a scoring scale, to evaluate the quality of a piece of work by grading against a predetermined set of criteria. A rubric provides a range of scores in each criterion so that even if a student has produced low-quality work, they can get some numeric value for it.

Rubrics play a great role in making learning easier for students and assessment hassle-free for teachers.
Clear Learning Goals
A rubric provides criteria based on the learning goals of a lesson. By having a rubric handy, students know what learning objectives they're focusing on and must achieve to succeed in their class.
Fair Assessment
Since teachers assign scores to each criterion, they evaluate every student's work on that basis. This process ensures every student has been awarded unbiased and fair marks for their assignment.
Tool for Self Assessment
Providing a rubric forehand makes students aware of the expected standard of work. This awareness leads to students using the rubric for self-assessing their work before submission and using it as a guide while producing their work.
Standardized Marking
During assessments, having a rubric ensures that teachers mark students on the same criteria all over the grade. Having two different teachers teaching the same class to different groups of students can often result in discrepancies simply because of two different mindsets. Rubric brings teachers on the same page ensuring all students are assessed fairly.
Saved Grading Time
Rubrics provide easy guidelines and specific scores for each criterion, reducing grading time for teachers. Teachers don't have to spend hours thinking of a suitable grade or the overall calculation if they use rubrics. The efficient approach of grading assignments with a rubric results in faster feedback that helps students learn.
Accurate and Fair Assessment
Checking hundreds of papers increases the possibility of errors. However, with the help of a rubric, the chances of mistakes or unintentional bias are lessened as the criteria for each learning goal are well-defined.
Long Term Usage
Teachers can easily use rubrics for years by just tweaking a few details. They can repeatedly use rubrics for similar types of projects or assignments, such as different types of writing tasks. Teachers can also share these rubrics to relieve a fellow teacher's workload.
Conclusion
Using rubrics is an effective and time-saving evaluation strategy that helps teachers stay consistent with their grading. It also aids students by laying out all the learning objectives in front of them and what is expected of them in each project or assignment. Students strive to work to meet the set standards and plan their work accordingly. Teachers and students must benefit from this tool to make their teaching and learning process easy and efficient.

Honestly, I didn't really find any tools that I liked, I spent way more time searching and reviewing what was listed in the Padlet than it took to do the rest of this week's assignment. Most of the tools require you to login and/or have limited access for free accounts, or didn't seem to offer more than being a glorified excel sheet. I feel like if I had spent the time building myself something, I would have created something just as functional and visually appealing. I landed on this resources, as I used it briefly to inform what I worked on.

A rubric is a performance-based assessment tool. Teachers use rubrics to gather data about their students' progress on a particular assignment or skill. Simple rubrics allow students to understand what is required in an assignment, how it will be graded, and how well they are progressing toward proficiency.

Rubrics can be both formative (ongoing) and summative (final) assessment tools for evaluating written work, projects, oral presentations, or any other class assignment. There are four types of rubrics: checklists, holistic rubrics, analytic rubrics, and developmental rubrics. Teachers, including homeschool parents, can refer to these simple rubric examples to formulate their own.

Rubrics as Checklists

These basic rubric examples ensure that all parts of the assignment are present. They help students keep track of each element of a project. Checklists also let teachers see whether a student fully participated in an assignment, but they aren't as informative as other rubrics.

Example of a Checklist Rubric

Checklists are useful in all subject areas because they're versatile and easy to understand. As long as each part of an assignment is present, the student receives full credit. An example of a science project checklist includes a column for students to check their work before turning it in.

Parts of a Cell Project Checklist

Self Check

Teacher Check

Includes a cover page with name and project title

Provides research notes from different sites

Cell model is made of Play Doh, candy, or other material

Cell model includes labels for each part of the cell

Provides explanation paragraph for each part of the cell

Total points

Checklists are handy to use and easy to grade. They measure participation and completion of a project rather than skills achieved, unlike holistic rubrics.

Holistic Rubrics

A general rubric that lists a few levels of performance is a holistic rubric. These rubrics usually combine criteria for a certain score into one level. Holistic rubrics include more information than a checklist and make good formative assessment tools.

Example of a Holistic Rubric

The typical A-F grading system is one example of a holistic rubric in which many skills are combined for one score. Here is another example of a holistic rubric for an oral presentation in social studies.

Description

Score

Teacher comments:

Although holistic rubrics are more complex than checklists, they aren't as helpful for assessing specific skills within a project. It's possible for students to score between two levels if they achieve some criteria but not others.

Analytic Rubrics

An analytic rubric assesses each aspect of an assignment. It awards a designated number of points to each part which adds up to the student's final score. Projects with analytic rubrics take longer to grade, but they are informative to teachers as summative assessment tools.

Example of an Analytic Rubric

Analytic rubrics are useful in any subject in which the teacher needs to monitor discrete skills. Check out an example of an analytic essay for a language arts literary essay.

1

Total Score

Teacher Comments

Analytic rubrics are an effective form of communication between teacher and student. Expectations are clear and results are easy to understand. However, if you want to measure a student's progress over the long term, you'll need a developmental rubric.

Developmental Rubrics

While other types of rubrics measure one assignment or project, a developmental rubric tracks a student's overall progress toward proficiency. These continuum rubrics can span one standard, one subject, or one skill. Developmental rubrics are more time-consuming for teachers than analytic rubrics, but they are the most informative type of assessment tool.

Example of a Developmental Rubric

The Common Core standards are an example of a developmental rubric with benchmarks over each grade level. Standards-based grading systems are becoming more common in modern classrooms. Check out an example of a developmental rubric designed to keep track of elementary math skills in operations and algebraic thinking.

4 - Exceeding Standard

3 - Proficient

2 - Progressing

1 - Not Meeting Standard

Problem-Solving with Addition and Subtraction

Student can use addition and subtraction to solve complex word problems.

Student can use addition and subtraction to solve basic word problems.

Student is learning to use addition and subtraction to solve word problems.

Student struggles to use addition and subtraction to solve word problems.

Add and Subtract within 20

Student can fluently add and subtract past 20 with a variety of strategies and has memorized all sums of one-digit numbers and some two-digit numbers.

Student can add and subtract up to 20 with a variety of strategies and has memorized all sums of one-digit numbers.

Student can add and subtract up to 20 with one strategy, and is learning additional strategies. They are working on memorizing sums of one-digit numbers.

Student has difficulty adding and subtracting up to 20. They don't have one-digit number sums memorized.

Foundations for Multiplication

Student can identify if a group of over 20 objects contains an odd or even number using a variety of strategies, and can explain their thought process.

Student can identify if a group of 10-20 objects contains an odd or even number using a variety of strategies.

Student knows the difference between odd and even numbers, and is learning how to identify whether a group of objects contains an odd or even number.

Student doesn't yet know the difference between odd and even numbers.

Unlike other rubrics, developmental rubrics indicate an ongoing learning process. They measure skill rather than participation and effort levels. Students will ideally start at the Progressing level at the beginning of the unit or school year and will end at the Proficient level.

Making Your Own Rubric

No matter which type of rubric you use, there are several ways to ensure that it's an effective learning tool. Here are some tips for creating a rubric:

Be detailed. Students are more likely to meet requirements when they know exactly what you're expecting.

Provide rubrics at the very beginning of the project. No one likes surprises.

No rubric can replace your own comments. While rubrics allow you to measure skills, students still need positive reinforcement about their work.

Make rubric scores align directly with student grades. Parents and students can easily see why they lost a specific number of points.

Use student-friendly language. Some academic language is helpful, but rubrics are just as valuable for students as they are for you.

If you're ready to design your own rubric, start with the customizable rubric template we've provided here. You can add your own requirements, point system, and objectives. Happy grading!

A rubric is a set of scoring guidelines for grading student work. When you give students a new assignment, you can also provide them with the assignment's rubric. This sets clear expectations, and makes the grading criteria transparent before students begin the work. Using a rubric also ensures that you use the same set of criteria to grade all of your students.

This one is on the list quite a few times already, but I really appreciate its variety of assignment type templates and the ease with which I could use it.
It is free and funded by a grant from the US Dept. of Ed.  I appreciate that.
That being said, it's downloading options seem to be a bit outdated (or maybe just not Google compatible). I could get a very nice Excel version or screenshot the print version, but the access to final rubric seems limited.

(Shirley Johnson)
After searching for "rubric tools" online, I looked at several and none were really standing out until I came across the updated version of Alice Keeler's Google Sheet Rubric template. What impressed me about Alice's rubric template is all the behind-the-scenes functionality she has built into it: It automatically calculates the score based on the Student Score for each criteria entered, and there's a way customize the weight of each criteria too. The updated version of the template also contains a script that will send the personalized rubric to each student by email.
All that said, it still has some limitations: while it's possible to add rows, it is not possible to add columns without risking breaking how the formulas work. All of this is clearly described in her thorough instructions and answers to questions on her site.
The hardest part was finding the actual link to make a copy of her template to my Google Drive: It's about halfway down in italics. I downloaded the updated version.

Most teachers need to use a rubric at some point. This template is a 4 point rubric that will help you to score student work against the rubric. Make a copy of the template. Copy and paste your students names onto the roster tab and enter in your rubric information. Run the RubricTab script in the spreadsheet

Go to https://alicekeeler.com/rubrictab to create a copy of the template.
For an updated version try https://alicekeeler.com/rubrictab2

While the first tab of the spreadsheet is your class roster, I would recommend that you create your rubric first. Go to the 2nd tab in the spreadsheet and build your rubric.

1) Rubric Tab

Go to the 2nd tab labeled "Rubric."

2) Student Name

Leave cell B2 blank. You can put the students name into cell B2 once the tabs for each student are created.

3) Assignment Name

Replace the default text (click once and start typing, no need to delete) to be the assignment name.

4) Points Possible

Type a numerical value for the number of points possible for the assignment. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the number of points the student earns based on the rubric.

5) Adjust Percentages

Determine what percentage each rubric level is weighted at. Please remember that a rubric score is NOT a percentage. A 2 on a rubric represents basic understand which is NOT the same as a 2/4 or 50%. Change the default percentages if you wish.

6) Determine Categories

Replace the default text of "Criteria One," etc... with the categories your rubric assesses. Note that in a spreadsheet you do not need to delete the default text. Instead click one time on the cell and start typing. This will replace the default text.

If you have more than 4 categories the rubric will automatically adjust. Continue adding categories in column C.

7) Category Criteria

For each category replace the default text for the criteria at each rubric level. Do NOT double click to edit. Currently the cell has an intimidating formula written in it. Single click on the cell and type your new criteria. If you would like to to have multiple lines in the same cell (insert a hard carriage return) you can hold down the Control key on a PC or the Command key on a Mac while editing a cell.

8) Weight Categories

By default the categories are evenly weighted. If you want the categories to have different percentage values DELETE all of the category percentages and type in new percentages. You will want your percentages to add up to 100%. Cell B4 adds up the percentages of the categories. If your percents do NOT add to 100% the cell will turn red and tell you how many percentage points you need to adjust your categories by.

Make Your Own Copy

Use the File menu to make a copy of the spreadsheet with your template but no roster entered. Name this copy with the word "template" in the title. For example if this is your rubric for your "Of Mice and Men essay" title the copy: "Rubric Template of Mice and Men Essay." This will allow you to reuse this rubric year after year and for multiple classes.

Make a copy of your template so you can reuse your own rubric.

On the first tab you can paste a list of your student names.

Use the button on the first tab or use the "Create Rubrics" menu at the top next to the Help menu. This will create a copy of the rubric for each student on the roster.

A tab for each student on the roster has been created. Each tab has the rubric duplicated. When assessing student work go to the tab with that students name. Replace the default values of 4 for each category with the score that you assess the student work at. The rubric template will automatically calculate the students percentage and score.

This template is based on the generic TemplateTab template. Click Here

As a long-time educator, I am very familiar with building rubrics and love all the tools that have already been mentioned in this Padlet. (I LOVE Padlet, by the way!)

I decided to try to find other tools that may not be as common as Rubric Maker, iRubric, or Rubistar. I decided to go back to a tool I have recently used for all our OSU E-Learning classes and dove into Canva.
It opened up a new world for me. Canva has pre-made rubrics, but also a plethora of templates for teachers to use!

I have chosen to include one of the many templates to share with all of you. ;)

My work uses Canvas, MS Teams and Google Suite - which all offer rubric creations. It was cool learning about how to create one for an online class on Teams - but the most practical for me in terms of integration with course content is Canvas.

I like that it's easy to use - you just go to the next step and fill it in according to your needs. All the steps are there - so you don't have to add or think of something that you might be missing. It's adaptable and it adds the marks up for you.

This rubric tool starts out with 10 topics. Then within those topics you'll be able to choose a subtopic, where the tool will then provide you with categories for your rubric that you can used to start you off. It's very customizable. For example, there is a Research & Writing topic. Subtopic - storying writing. One of the categories I can select is "Creativity." Your learner can reach a 4 if "The story contains many creative details and/or descriptions that contribute to the reader's enjoyment. The author has really used his imagination."

What I liked most about this tool is that it is much more than just an empty template. It actually provides example text. There are several topics to choose from and within each topic you can select a variety of categories that serve as the basis for the individual evaluation criteria. Once you select a category, Rubistar automatically fills in all the remaining fields with suggested text. You can also modify any of the text you would like to suit your needs. While you certainly won't find topics and categories for everything, it at least gives you a good starting point to work from, as opposed to only providing empty fields for you to fill in.

Google classroom takes the guessing work out of a rubric and has developed a way to make a rubric easily when you utilize Google Classroom. This feature allows you to create a rubric for each assignment (if you would like), which has criteria, levels and points for each level. Easily assign the rubric, which allows your class to view it, in teacher view you can then use the rubric to score the assignment that was submitted on Google Classroom. Overall this app is very user friendly for teachers and students.

I was a little wary at first since the platform UI required a bit of menu diving and trying things out, also I wasn't prompted with the normal table/grid rubric that everyone is used to. But once I understood where to go and what to do it was very fresh and intuitive. I like that there is more control over interactive creation options and that it can also host students for submitting material and recieving grades. The one thing to note is that for use in actuall classroom settings with students, you have to sign up for a proper education account. However I don't think it costs extra and seems pretty straightforward.

My team at work currently uses Microsoft Teams to handle our project Kanban, team meetings, and meetings with stakeholders. Additionally, we use Microsoft Sharepoint as a space to upload content to be used internally and by our clients. I chose this Rubric Creator because it seamlessly fits in with my organization's uses of Microsoft Teams (for internal communication and communication with our stakeholders and clients). I've never had to create a rubric. However, my team does have to brainstorm assignments/homework, and assessments for the courses and training we design. I think the benefit to using this tool, would be that we would be able to create rubrics for our facilitator based training session assessments and for labs. Those rubrics would then be used by the trainers to provide assessments and grading for the learners. I have to think more about it to see how we would manage it and if this is something that our stakeholders would see benefits in, but I see this tool positively affecting an effort we are working on now.

As educators, we all know and appreciate the importance of the rubric in providing quality student assessment and feedback. But actually creating a solid rubric that's clear, aligns with the curriculum, and is well-structured can be daunting and, let's be real, time consuming. If you're like me, rubrics are perfect for overthinking. I'll build one, and then continue to refine and adapt to "improve it," in hopes of making it airtight. But then, I look at the clock to realize hours have passed. Can this be avoided? Yes. Thank goodness! You can create a rubric with ChatGPT in less than a minute and free up precious time for other priorities. Remember though, ChatGPT's response will never be 100% perfect for what you need. Editing, reviewing, and revising will be necessary, and you may need to test out tweaks to prompts. But it's a great head start!

Let's take some time to:

1. Review information about rubrics.

2. Check out an editable prompt for generating a rubric with ChatGPT.

3. Walk through the process in ChatGPT to see how it's done.

4. Take a look at an example ChatGPT-generated rubric.

5. Try it out step-by-step.

Why Are Rubrics Important?

Before we get into ChatGPT, let's talk about rubrics. A rubric is a tool that clearly lays out assignment expectations for students. Rubrics generally have four parts:

1. Task description: Briefly outline the task to be performed by students.

2. Scoring and scale: Provide a numerical and descriptive scale for levels of development.

3. Criteria or Components: Lay out the components/categories of the assignment on which students will be evaluated.

4. Descriptors: Define and describe what work at each level of development looks like and the criteria aligned with your curriculum standards.

According to Berkley Center for Teaching and Learning, rubrics help both teachers and students. For teachers, rubrics assist with clarity when it comes to feedback and expectations. With clear expectations, students can focus on what is required of them instead of asking for clarification. Reviewing scored rubrics can also help teachers pinpoint any gaps in learning and adjust instruction accordingly. A good rubric provides consistency and can reduce grading time as well. For students, having defined expectations means less need for questions and reworking and more time for working. It can also give students the opportunity to self-reflect and peer-reflect during the revision of their work using the criteria defined in the rubric.

How Can ChatGPT Help Build Rubrics in Minutes?

ChatGPT is a powerful AI language model that has the capacity to complete a multitude of tasks based on human prompts. With regards to rubrics, if we provide ChatGPT with the necessary information in a clear, detailed, and defined prompt, this AI can assist in quickly developing a well-crafted rubric aligned with learning objectives. But keep in mind you will need to closely review, edit, and revise the ChatGPT-generated rubric, as you are the expert and responsible party for any grade and feedback you give your students. ChatGPT is just, as I like to call it, a brainstorming buddy.

A Template for Generating Rubrics

Here is the editable prompt template I created for ChatGPT-generated rubrics. Feel free to use this template to input your own information for generating a rubric specific to your needs!

To create a rubric with ChatGPT using the editable prompt, you will need to provide the information noted in bold within the prompt template.

1. Your role

2. Task description

3. Grade level

4. Skills, standards, goals, or objectives

5. Scoring scale

6. Criteria/components

Here is an example of how your prompt might look with the information completed:

ChatGPT will generate the descriptors and table for you! Here's what this will look like in ChatGPT:

Amazing, right? Now, let's walk through this process step by step!

The Rubric-Generating Process

First, we will gather the information needed to create a solid ChatGPT prompt. At first, this may seem like a lot, but it's usually taken from information you already have that can be copied and pasted. I like to copy it into a Google Doc while I'm preparing my prompt, finalizing my prompt in the doc before pasting it over to ChatGPT.

As an example, I will be creating a rubric with ChatGPT for an 8th grade English writing assignment, but keep in mind you can do this for any grade. First, I'll compile everything I need for the prompt, and then, I'll show you the ChatGPT-generated rubric. Here we go!

Step 1: Curriculum Alignment

My example assignment will be a persuasive writing assignment. First, I identify the learning objectives, skills, or standards you'd like students to master. For my example, I will use Common Core State Standards for writing and language, but you can use any standards or objectives that align with you assignment! You can also use specific skills or benchmarks outlined in your curriculum or even use "I can" statements based on standards. I copy and pasted the skills straight from the Common Core website, and it took me less than five minutes.

Step 2: Task Description

You'll also need to provide ChatGPT with a description of the task you'll be giving to students, which you will include on the final rubric. This gives the AI additional context. I will use the following description in my prompt:

For our 8th grade English unit on persuasive writing, you have chosen a topic on which to write an argumentative essay. Write your paper based on the expectations taught and reviewed in class and outlined in this rubric, which will be used to evaluate your essay. You may use the example essay attached for reference as an exemplar.

Step 3: Rubric Scoring and Scale

For my rubric, I will use the following points and scoring scale to outline levels of skill development. Here are some additional scales you can consider from The Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning at Brown University. Your scale and scoring choice is up to you! If you want to use points, be sure to include them.

Beginning (1 point)

Developing (2 points)

Proficient (3 points)

Exemplary (4 points)

Step 4: Rubric Criteria

Based on the Common Core State Standards I've aligned with the task, I will be evaluating the following components of the assignment. These are taken directly from the standards I have chosen for the assignment (and would be taught and reviewed in class). NOTE: It is very important that the criteria/components align with the language and overarching concepts in the standards you chose to assess. If they don't align, ChatGPT will not generate as expected.

Step 5: Rubric Descriptors

For this step, you don't need to do anything! This is included in the prompt template and will be generated for you by ChatGPT.

Step 6: Prompt ChatGPT to Generate the Rubric

Here is the final prompt I gave ChatGPT using the editable prompt template and my assignment-specific information. You'll find my customizations to the template in bold, and it took me about 10 minutes to find, copy, and paste my information into the prompt template.

NOTE: When you paste in the prompt, the formatting will be removed. This does not impact the results generated by ChatGPT.

Take a look at what happens when ChatGPT is given the prompt. It's amazing. Less than one minute!

Step 7: Format and Review

Here is an unedited version of what ChatGPT generated for me based on my prompt, and I was able to copy and paste this into a Google Doc for further editing. When you paste the rubric from ChatGPT, it does keep the table format. Yet another time saver! ChatGPT for the win here, folks.

Once you have your initial rubric, it's time to review it, revise, it, and edit it carefully to make sure it meets your needs. You can also share it with colleagues to get another set of eyes for additional feedback. And, you can always ask ChatGPT "How can I improve this rubric to make it more specific, clear, and detailed for students?" and see what happens!

Ready to try it out? Here is a walk-through to guide you in creating a rubric for a grade 6 science project.

I hope you find this template helpful in creating rubrics for your students (and getting a little more time for yourself). Is there another template you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments! And if you give this template a try, I'd love to know how it goes for you.
