this website has many printable and PDF's that work with word and MS products. Most of these rubrics are editable--can be used with any assignment. Free to educators.

Google Classroom Rubric

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.

How To Use Canvas Rubrics

2022-08-21 13:11:56 UTC

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:

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.
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.

Canvas Rubrics- Rochelle Daniel

2022-08-25 21:03:19 UTC

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.

Quick Rubric - posted by Vanessa Rusch

vanessalynnrusch — 2022-08-28 23:22:04 UTC

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:

iRubric

fehlfamily — 2022-08-29 17:06:22 UTC

Although iRubric was easy to create a rubric in, I am cautious to recommend this because there were two options when I went to save my rubric. I could post it to the gallery for public viewing and use or I could wait 2 weeks to have it posted for public viewing and use.

Google Forms as Rubrics

2022-08-29 20:48:59 UTC

--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.

(SAM STUDENT)
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.

Rubric Creator

2022-08-30 01:18:17 UTC

I like this site because it's very simple to create a rubric. You just enter the information that you need and it formats the rubric for you. This takes the headache out of formatting!

In addition, you can share your rubric with the public and view other rubrics that are already created. This is helpful for generating ideas or finding a rubric quickly when you don't have time to create one yourself. You also have the option to lock your rubric if you do not want to share it.

Canvas Rubrics...rubrics, rubrics on my mind...

2022-08-31 04:28:54 UTC

I am new to rubrics...After reading about them, getting the general sense what they are and reviewing so many different posts and suggestions, I decided to pick Canvas Rubrics.
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 have found this website for creating rubrics and it looks interesting. There are 4 levels of content that you can use ( I played round with post-secondary). I liked that assessment criteria can be populated for each level and the text is editable. There are free and paid options for this tool.

iRubric from Rcampus

Sarah Thompson

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.

Moodle Rubrics

2022-08-31 23:20:29 UTC

I chose to explore the Moodle Rubric creation tool. It allows the students to preview the rubric to know the standards. It allows feedback comments and files, and it allows you to copy the rubrics to save time.

Kathy Schrock's Library Media/Common Core Rubrics

2022-09-01 13:44:49 UTC

I decided to use Kathy Schrock's full page of rubrics, templates, examples, and links. It's not a rubric tool per se, but a meta page of different rubric tools that are specific to Common Core. In my field (librarianship) she is a subject matter expert on rubrics! She has rubrics customized to library media subject matter, by grade level, tools for integrating and crosswalking them to standards, and so on. It's a very good resource in my area.

johnwhitted3rd — 2022-09-02 00:42:59 UTC

I found this template really easy to use. You can embed it. It is free! I did not see a paid version. The one thing that I did not like it is that I could not figure out how to use the formatting of the text. For instance, you would not be able to use bullets or bolding, etc. You can create scores. It does the math for the columns and cannot be changed

Here is a link to free rubrics that I found. John Whitted

G Suite for Rubrics

2022-09-02 15:28:34 UTC

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.

Julie Hawk - Aquamarine

2022-09-02 17:43:15 UTC

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.

Rubric Maker

2022-09-02 17:54:19 UTC

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.
--Tuyen Le

Rubric-maker.com

2022-09-02 17:55:05 UTC

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!

Rubistar

2022-09-02 18:46:06 UTC

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.

2022-09-02 19:31:38 UTC

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.

Miro Templates/Collaborative Rubric - Alena

2022-09-02 19:33:25 UTC

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.

canvas rubrics

2022-09-02 20:13:48 UTC

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.

Canvas Rubrics

2022-09-02 20:52:29 UTC

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. I also like that I can go over them with students in class before they turn the assignment and it is available to them when they are working on their assignments.

Google Sheets, Forms, & Docs for Rubrics

2022-09-02 22:23:00 UTC

Sonya (Francis) Nevius
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.

I've seen someone else post this and for good reason. Rubric Creator simple and easy to use for anyone. The formats are already created, and all one needs to do is enter the information needed, i.e. name, score, etc. and also has space for you to add descriptions.

While I have not problem creating a format, it's a nice tool to take care of something that can take some time.

I tried to find a platform that has not yet been listed and found Teachnology. It is very straightforward and allows you to easily enter in objectives and just as easily enter in the performance identifiers. Once you have the information entered, you can "generate rubric" and it lays it all out on a table to easily share.

iRubric

2022-09-04 15:00:45 UTC

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!

Canvas Rubrics

kamc1513 — 2022-09-04 17:03:44 UTC

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.

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.

Smartsheet

2022-09-05 18:03:04 UTC

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).

Paul Skalleberg

Single-Point Rubrics

2022-09-06 04:34:15 UTC

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.

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.

Microsoft Forms

2022-09-12 04:53:20 UTC

Nicholas Schiller

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.

Canvas Rubrics - using Google Drive

2023-03-20 03:43:30 UTC

Mary H

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.

Quick Rubric

2023-03-22 18:03:36 UTC

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.

RubiStar

Ashley Cherry (student)

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.

Quick Rubric

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.

Google Sheets allows you to create formulas within the spreadsheet that do a quick calculation of points so that you don't have to add them all up yourself. You can also add tabs down below with student names so that when you are scoring their work orally, it's fast and shareable with other teachers as well as families. Using this multiple times throughout the year to collect assessments documents growth in a organized and manageable way. You can also select all of the scores and create chart within the document to show growth over time. Desirae

VALUE Rubrics and Rubric Creator - Nicole Howard

2023-03-23 23:38:22 UTC

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.

Quick Rubric (Amy Matson)

2023-03-24 16:30:44 UTC

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.

teAchnology's General Rubric Generator is very simple and easy to use. The UI may look outdated but it definitely does it's job and is easy to understand. You simply just fill in the blanks for the objectives/masteries and click "generate" and VOILA a simple and easy to read rubric is created.

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.

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.

Google Sheets Email Rubric by Alice Keeler

2023-03-25 07:00:46 UTC

(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.

1.) I am choosing Microsoft forms as my rubric selection. The reason is because this is a program that most of my team currently uses and has access to. 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

Very simple, and bare bones! Provides the structure for a simple rubric. It's also free. There is just enough functionality to build a small rubric. Anything more complex that the very basics will likely need a different tool.

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. ;)

I chose Quick Rubric because it allows you to create a rubric quick and easy using their provided templates or using one you create. You can customize your rubric based on your specific needs and it’s all free! These days, tools that are free, flexible, and save time and effort get my vote.

I like iRubric for it's huge library of rubrics to use. I appreciate that those rubrics can be edited to be more specific to my own lesson as long as you have an account. It's user friendly and there are a lot of options. I wish there weren't so many pop ups and the site felt a bit cluttered.

Prior to Google Classroom building in their own rubric maker to their assessment setup, my PLC used OrangeSlice and other extensions to connect rubrics to Google apps. This add-on made it easy for students to get feedback from the rubric. It was nice to use this in Google Docs to collaborate as a team and review standards to make sure we were aligning expectations with our vertical scaffolding. - Josh Yohe

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."

Rubistar

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.

This rubric starts out with a basic, easily customizable format. You can create an account for free. It formats your rubric for you, allowing you to customize your rows and columns with whatever titles you'd like. You can add rows and columns as well. You can create a title for the rubric and instructions/description. And (for those who don't care for math) you can program in the max score and a minimum score. From there Quick Rubric, will prorate points for you among the columns. Once created, Quick Rubric saves your rubric in the account you create. From there, you can view/print, edit, and copy the rubric. I like this rubric for its simplicity and flexibility.

I am responding to Alena's suggestion because I ran into the same issue with Microsoft365: I work for a business and so Teams does not have an "assignment" tab or the ability to create rubrics. Nonetheless, everything at work happens in Microsoft and I need something compatible with all the applications in Microsoft. Not only does it have a creative/visual board aspect, but I can easily integrate it into Planner, Teams, SharePoint, and OneNote.

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.

Office 365 Rubric Creator

2023-08-21 04:26:51 UTC

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.

This rubric maker is compatible with Google and displays your rubric as a table. What I thought was really neat though, is that you can then use it to do the actual grading by selecting the choices and then the rubric will convert those selections to a grade for you, eliminating some tedious extra clicks.

iRubric allows educators to create customized rubrics tailored to specific assignments, projects, or learning objectives. You can define criteria, descriptions, and grading scales to accurately assess student performance. One of the standout features of iRubric is its ability to align rubrics with learning objectives, educational standards, or competencies. This ensures that assessments are closely tied to desired learning outcomes. It provides a structured way to evaluate student work and provide feedback. There's a feature that allows educators to analyze assessment data and identify trends in student performance. Most importantly, it can be integrated with some LMS, making it easier to import/export assessment data.

I found this step-by-step guide to creating rubrics with ChatGPT. Our school uses standards-based proficiency rubrics instead of traditional grades. We may use rubrics for a specific assignment but we create our rubrics based on the state standards with a Mastery/Proficient/Not Yet Proficient scale.

Canvas Rubric Tool

2024-02-01 23:57:47 UTC

Of the tools I explored, it was a tie between ChatGPT and the Canvas rubric tool. I chose the Canvas rubric tool because through my exploration I discovered that I could search for locally-created rubrics and adapt them. I also found that someone at my institution created rubrics for our ISLOs in Canvas, which can be adapted and used in course assessments. This makes it easier to align course- and assignment-specific outcomes with the ISLOs the course is supposed to provide, so that tipped the scales toward the Canvas rubric tool. - Tracy Scharn

Rubric Maker caught my eye because it is free to create a basic account and it is simple to use.

RubricTab integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing educators to create, share, and assess rubrics directly within the Teams environment. Highlights: Integration, easy of creation of rubrics tailored to specific assessment criteria, sharing rubrics with employees or other trainers within the teams environment, allows trainers to assess employees work directly within teams, and offers reporting features to track progress and performance overtime. My current job using teams frequently so I think this would easily streamline the assessment process while enhancing collaboration.

What I liked about the Annenberg Learner system is that it provides clear, detailed instructions for building a rubric that can be applied to any program. Whether you're using an LMS that has an integrated rubric system in place or not, you can use the Annenberg Learner instructions for guidance. My biggest challenge in creating a rubric is describing the assessment criteria, so I appreciate that there was a list of suggested elements in Step 5.

Blackboard recently implemented the AI Design Assistant. With it came AI rubric generation based on your content in the course. The most tedious part about creating a rubric and using it in Blackboard was not the creation of the rubric. But, getting it into their system. Adding the ability to work with AI to create the rubric from content within the LMS, makes for a very useful tool.

Center for Teaching & Learning (Western University): Rubric for Elearning Tool Evaluation

plsevcik — 2024-06-24 20:08:58 UTC

Student: Lisa Sevcik

It is obvious now, but I did not think to look online for existing rubrics for evaluating e-learnings. I have created my own in the past, but the online elearning evaluation rubrics are great in that they allow me to see other criteria I may have missed in my own rubric and/or provide more efficienct/quicker ways for filling out such rubrics. What stood out for me in this particular elearning evaluation rubric was the following: 1. It breaks evaluation criteria into separate categories which is a more user friendly & organized experience for the user, imo. 2. It contains categories that I think are useful in evaluating an elearning. 3. Yet, it does not include other features which I think are important when evaluating an elearning including but not limited to: Does the course meets its objectives? Visually appealing? Outside of WCAG guidelines, are images and fonts easy to view? Are adult learning principle strategies used in the elearning?

Canvas Rubrics

2024-06-24 22:21:43 UTC

Danielle Schropp

I chose to include (or re-include) a link for creating rubrics in Canvas. This is the LMS tool that I use for work and I find that the rubric creation feature is simple and easy to integrate into assignments for my course.

Rubric creating can be as general or specific as you like--which is nice because there are some skills that I am assessing often for which the same rubric can be used over and over, and some skills which are more targeted toward the work on particular assignments.

My one issue with the rubric system on Canvas is that the scoring boxes do not always visually align (which drives my teacher brain a little nuts). Also, you can't duplicate an entire rubric and make small adjustments (which is annoying).

It's also easy to add rubrics to assignments and to share the rubrics you have created from one course to the next.

Canvas Rubrics

2024-06-25 00:50:44 UTC

I do all my course creation and most assignments within Canvas LMS. The built-in rubric tool is very easy to use, highly customizable, and the rubrics can be transferred between courses. I have more generic rubrics that can be used for exit tickets, Canvas discussions, or other low stakes activities. More summative and/or substantial assignments get their own more specific rubric.

Rubrics are not normally relevant to the content and programs I design for my industry as there isn't any grading or scoring. Our learners are typically driven by their own need to gain knowledge and expertise to advance their career. However, I did think about our fellowship programs as we always get questions from applicants about how to make their application stand out over others. I liked Rubric Maker because it is completely customizable down to the rating at the top. It almost looks like a spreadsheet and has boxes to customize point values, description, topics, and subtopics. There is also the option of changing the level of the rubric so the rating at the top changes with the different grade levels so I thought that was a neat feature for teachers. You do have to create an account to use their rubric maker tool, but it is free! There are paid options as well which I'm assuming comes with additional features but I thought the free version was good enough for what I would use it for. Overall a very simple rubric tool!

I'm a big fan of MS Teams, so I was excited about the option to create Rubric within my assignments and reuse them when I can. The instructions are pretty simple. note; if your company/organization have specific security protocols, be sure to get permission before creating it.

I have been working with MagicSchool (MS)since our school had 2 afternoons of professional development on the use of AI and Teaching Practices. What I like about MS is the ease and templates that are created for not only rubrics but numerous other tools. It has made a lot of trivial work rather easy but I do feel like I am cheating still. I also have subscribed to MS Plus and with this comes amazing suggestions and recommendations to add to your rubrics. It also knows the IB rubrics of MYP and DP so works with this as well as similar language. As you can see, I am sure I do not touch nearly enough of what MS can do, but I am excited about the possibilities.

RubiStar

2024-06-28 17:52:26 UTC

(Duvessa) What drew me to Rubistar was their storyboarding rubric! Quite a few of the other rubric creators focus on high school, and although they can be customized, I liked that Rubistar had a rubric template that can immediately apply to Instructional Designers. The website is a little dated, but it is free.

*I did note after creating my rubric that the rubric names do seem to be limited to their templates which I don't love.

TeacherDashboard ai

gouldta — 2024-06-28 20:03:38 UTC

I tried 3 different rubric creator tools and I liked TeacherDashboard.ai the most. Like other creators, it was easy and free to use. I was able to sign up quickly. Once signed in, I just had to enter a few sentences describing what would be assessed and what the ratings were. The AI generator did a great job and I was able to edit anything I didn't like--including adding more criteria, deleting rows, etc.

Once created, I could export the rubric as a word document (Microsoft) or Google Doc (Google) making it even more accessible.

I do want to give a runner-up mention to Canvas Rubric. As a student, I really like having the rubric built into the activity/discussion page for easy viewing.

Google Forms was already posted here, and I hadn't thought about the possibility of creating a rubric with it. I also tried Smartsheet (https://www.smartsheet.com/rubric-templates), which offers downloadable templates that you can modify and use in your course—this is actually quite helpful. I downloaded one of those templates, adjusted the text to match my course's learning objectives, and then entered those rubrics into a Google Form. If you need help creating a rubric structure in Google Forms, check out alicekeeler.com. This approach works well when your rubric is not very complex or long, since Forms doesn't showcase the entire rubric if it's too lengthy, and reproducing the structure can be a bit tedious.

I like how simple Rubric-Maker makes a free sign up option. It took me two steps and I was logged in and creating a rubric. There are 4 levels to choose from and a few drop downs for subject matter.

I don't have personal experience with this but it looks fairly straight forward and doesn't fly a bunch of ads or purchases in your way.

I reviewed a few of these online, and had a hard time finding a free one that was anything I would like. I think I could use a spreadsheet for this purpose for time and the fact you get so much spam from these free sites.

Magic School

2024-06-30 21:07:55 UTC

I appreciate how easy it is to create a rubric quickly with Magic School. There are just a few parameters to input such as what is to be assessed and to what level and it will produce a rubric.

My main concern is that their AI technology only accesses information up to 2021 so the resources it creates can be on dated information.

Create a Microsoft Teams Rubric with AI

My organization is moving to Microsoft Teams so I am trying to get familiar with some of the different features. I have also been exploring the use of AI and how it can be useful to help build and create eLearnings and other trainings. The link I provided gives some basic instructions on how to create a rubric in Teams using the integrated rubric creator. There is also a feature to use AI to generate suggestions for criteria.

Rubric Maker

2024-09-23 02:27:32 UTC

I like that rubric maker has levels (elementary, high school, etc.) and that you can add in multiple levels. It reminds me of what I used to create with a table in Word but just more able to be customized. It's basically like a better version of what I already create in a Word table because it seems easier to edit and create levels with.

Blackboard Rubric Creation Tool

2024-09-23 20:08:16 UTC

Our school uses Blackboard LMS. There may be better rubric creation tools available, but I've only ever used Blackboard. I can design, customize, and implement rubrics with specific grading criteria. It's pretty intuitive, so I can easily define performance levels and criteria for consistent assessments.

Magic School Rubric Generator

julhola49 — 2024-09-26 21:47:46 UTC

I wasn't sure where to put this in the Padlet, because it didn't fit the first three categories. So, I'm placing it here. This site uses AI to generate rubrics. You put in the details of the assignment and the number of points possible, and the rubric generator does the rest. I think this works just fine for a simple and straightforward rubric without a lot of detail. And it's fast and easy to use. Once your rubric is generated you can choose to edit it or make a copy of it. But it's up to you to make sure that the information you provide to the rubric generator is clear and will provide your students with meaningful feedback.

Rather than use an AI generative tool (like ChatGPT which was my gut instinct), I did a quick Google search and paid special attention to using .EDU websites.

I really liked this website (tool) because not only did it prepare me to consider the multiple aspects of a rubric--something I have never completed before--but it even included two videos for Moodle (a tool many have referenced in this class!). This website is a gentle walk into comprehensively explaining the fundamentals of rubrics and building them! Additionally, there are two small links to two separate rubric generators (Rubistar and iRubric).

The specific rubric I used was an example called "Analytic Rubric Template" [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OCpYFYkcIwOwa0d5BCcTH5xahQ6GiaS1PnP0O3lqMsY/edit]

Magic School AI makes it easy through the selection of grade level, point scale, lesson objective, assignment description, and any additional customizations. MS Copilot is also a very useful and simple tool. Making sure you have all of your criteria in the prompt is important though. The features that stand out to me in both of these products is ease of use.

I found this rubric generator to be very easy to use and attractive in appearance. In the past, I have used other rubrics where I had to input points per category, however, I just tell it the maximum score and it converts it for me. Also, I like how easy it is to add it rows and columns based on what you need. It allows you to save and then copy your rubric and place it in an LMS like CANVAS or Google Classroom.

I am not a huge fan of AI but I have worked with Magic School and I do like their Rubric Generator. It follows a basic scale 1-7 (most use 1-5) and it is an easy plug and fill format that creates great rubrics! As an educator, I always created my own rubrics but this one is spot-on for a classroom tool- especially if your school uses state wide formatted rubrics. The accounts are free and can be uploaded to any LMS!

Quick Rubric (submitted by Michael Allen)

I see this example used repeatedly here, however it really is a nicely formatted, easy-to-use rubric template/generator, particularly if a stand-alone or handout rubric is what is needed, as opposed to something integrated into your LMS with grading application capabilities. I'm more familiar with the latter in my work, however this would be a great option for training applications and even formative feedback in a classroom setting. I also like the inherent politeness employed in the "Please Name Me" request for titling the rubric you're creating!

I chose the Zipinar Rubric because of its alignment with my professional background in healthcare. Its straightforward explanation of the "why" behind building a rubric to assess learner knowledge resonated with me. I appreciate how it offers multiple ways to evaluate competencies, making it adaptable to the wide range of skills within the healthcare industry.

This will win no design awards and is surrounded by ads but I liked that it required no login. While the output is not pretty, this tool did help me to better understand the idea. I could screenshot the output and its usable but would probably use a different tool if visual appeal was important.

Megan Caluza-

I am not the first person to post this AI powered rubric generator from magic School. I did intentionally look for a rubric generator that at least had the option of AI support. I think one of the most tedious aspects of developing a rubric is writing out the specific standards for each element of the assignment. Magic School asks for the standard and a description of the assignments along with the scale, and offers suggestions for all parts of the rubric form that info. The app reminds folks to review the information generated and try to revise at least 20% of it. As AI is a new tool, I appreciated this very specific suggestion. The rubric generated when I used this tool was pretty broad, but so was the information I put in. I think this tool is best for very specific standards and assignments.

Canvas Rubric

2024-10-02 17:21:26 UTC

I love the rubric template that is built into Canvas. Rubrics in Canvas are 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. The template is set up for you to edit however you see fit. Points assigned to each criteria in the template automatically calculates the total points.

I appreciate the tip to look at Quick Rubric. (Credit to Anastasia Royce.) I had trouble accessing several of the other options due to controls on my work computer. I was able to use Quick Rubric without setting up a new password. It was easy to fill in the criteria and assessment, but I ended up creating a google doc for this assignment since it was easier to edit the output.

ChatGPT

2024-10-04 14:51:08 UTC

After lots of digging, I found a Reddit thread where teachers were discussing rubrics. Many of them said they were using ChatGPT. If you click the link, you can see the rubric I had it create. What stands out is how incredibly fast it is. It's helpful to ask it if it needs more information before starting. You can also ask it to change/edit things, or you can edit yourself. I find it much easier to edit things then to write them from scratch, especially in super busy weeks.

I was intrigued by Magic School AI, which was free and easy to create an account. When setting up, you can select the type of educational setting the rubrics are for and professional training was an option. Furthermore, when I started to create my rubric, under "grade" I was able to select "Professional Staff". I appreciated this since most of the rubric makers I found were geared towards k-12 teachers. Making my rubric was very simple -- I select the number of rubric points, state the lesson objective, and a brief description of the assignment. The final product was very professional and detailed. There is an option to edit the AI generated rubric as well, if any changes or modifications are needed.

I was searching for a rubric tool that was not K-12 specific so that it would be easier to adapt it to industry and job related trainings. This tool looks easy to use and adapt and provides a great way to show different levels of understanding and comprehension examples, a great way to provide expectations.

This will be a somewhat controversial opinion. In my organization, we use BrightSpace or Buzz Agilix to build our rubrics and have a preset mastery scale of 100%, 80%, 60%, and 0%. Then, you have the specific criteria. Suppose you know your exemplar criteria (what would earn 100%). In that case, you can coach ChatGPT or other AI to help generate the description of each criterion at the 80%, 60%, and 0% mastery levels (or whatever your master levels are). Then, you can vet the descriptions and edit them as necessary. I have found this especially helpful when creating rubrics for unique assessment types that I may not have another to use as a starting pace.

I checked out a few different sites but really liked magic school. I really like that it offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the rubric development process. I also liked how the rubrics can easily be tailrored to fit specific objectives and assessment criteria. Overall, the website is easy to use. My favorite part of the site was that you can share your rubric with peers and receive feedback. I usually create my own rubrics but this is a way to save time.

Google Classroom Rubric (continued)

zoecy92 — 2024-10-07 01:38:33 UTC

Google Classrooms - uses Google Docs, Sheets, Forms and quizzes - but incorporates direct access to add these resources directly to the existing assignment.

A key component that makes this a preferable type of rubric, is the ease of access for the student/audience. Not only can each student view the rubric with the assignment, they can also use optional features to have their own online rubric which they can edit/annotate.

Rubric Maker

giseleadanleteengram — 2024-10-19 23:48:03 UTC

I decided to go with the Rubric maker tool. It was free and allowed for easy selection of the topic, subtopic and description. For this being my first time working on a rubric it make is very simple and understandable, breaing down what the different scores could be in each category. It is also an editable document where you can keep what is suggested or you can tweak the verbiage to make it your own. I chose Post-Secondary school just to guage the intensity level that the rubric provided, but again this was an easy tool to learn and choose different levels to help asses students.
