I have been using the site that was presented:
http://www.rcampus.com/rubricshellc.cfm?mode=gallery&sms=publicrub&sid=4& and I love it.
Today there are about 6,710,000 results (0.25 secondsc. Thanks for opening up this wonderful world of rubric resources.
Dr. Wilkinson/Faculty, I've used a site sponsored by Penn State - https://www.e-education.psu.edu/facdev/id/assessment/rubrics/rubric_builder.html
It's a great place for guidance in building rubrics. They provide a downloadable file and loads of great recommendations for a solid rubric.
The file is called - RubricBuilderV2.xhtml. I would have attached it but the forum doesn't have that function.
Open the saved file - When it opens you will see the "Rubric Development Tool"
Click on any field to change the text
Use the "Show Feedback" button on each row to see, and then edit, the feedback
Change some settings by clicking the "Worksheet Options" button.
Add rows or columns, and rearrange rows, moving them up or down
Specify "groups" using the pull-down numbers in the right margin, and the feedback will be presented in the order of these groups.
Save the file to store your new rubric - If you want to have multiple rubrics, do a "Save as..." and give your rubric a unique file name (like "final_project_rubric.xhtml").
Enjoy.
Regards, Reginald
Donna,
Yes, many things are dependent on the course content, instructor and students. Thanks for your input.
I think this also is dependent on the student. In an ideal world, yes, in the world of the single working student who is working three jobs and accesses the course at midnight to post on the last day, the rubric is irrelevant.
Donna,
When the learning curve is not steep, we tend to try things more. Clarity is essential as students and instructors alike must understand the rubric, criteria and expectations. Thanks!
Dr. James and Rhonda,
Thanks for continuing the conversation and adding to the resource list. We all need to check out new resources and new ideas.
Dr. James ,
A simple search will produce much information about rubrics and other assessment tools. Keep searching. ;-)
Michael,
With so many online tools, it's necessary to assess each tool and make sure what works best for you and your students. Thanks for your input.
I've used the online generators, and developed my own. The learning curve is not steep if you know your criteria/outcomes well, and what they mean in terms of quality assignments. Clarity for the student is the primary issue.
Rhonda: I will have to take a look at this source. I have to spend more time on putting together my rubrics!
I have never used the internet to find out information on Rubrics. However, I now know that there are many sites out there with the needed information.
One could also go to a fellow faculty member and take a look at his or her rubrics. Two minds are always better than one!
There are literally thousands of online tools for helping build rubrics. Irubric is nice because it's fully compatible with the iPad which really makes things convenient… grading in bed… grading on the plane etc.I would say of all the online rubric generators, Rubistar is probably the most popular and rightfully so as the thousands of rubrics available in the site are fully editable.

Kristina,
Thanks for the resource.

I am an instructor for Accounting and I have the following website that provides a number of helpful resources named "Rubric Gallery" in relation to Accounting:

Willie ,
Right on. More and more and more information. Thank you.
Willie ,
Thanks for the resources. We continue to learn from you, others and provided resources.
Thanks.
Mara,
Please review all rubrics that are handed down as thing change...things should change.
William, yes, the links that you posted are just a few. There numerous others I found at this link: http://www.uni.edu/assessment/documents/rubricdocument.pdf
I would have posted all of the links found on this list, but the list is way to long (12 pages long). So, what we are all gathering from this exercises is that there many avenues available to help us build our own rubrics!! :-)
There are many online resources to help us build rubrics. One is TeAch-nology.com: http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/. On this website, users will find one of the most extensive teacher resources for rubrics on the Internet. Users will find tools that help guide them through the process of creating these assessment tools for evaluating student performance. Users will also find over five hundred printable rubrics on the web site.
Another is TeacherVision: http://www.teachervision.fen.com/teaching-methods-and-management/rubrics/4521.html. This website allows users to review, reconceptualize, and revisit the same concepts from different angles improves understanding of the lesson for students.
Thanks, Roger. This looks like it would be a useful site. I'm lucky--the lead faculty at the online school I teach at have developed rubrics for the courses I teach, which is a big help both to me and the others who teach the courses. It provides for consistency across the sections and makes it easier for the instructor to know what to grade on and what the standards are.
I've been teaching an undergraduate and graduate statistics classes this session and just googled "statistics rubrics" and got the following from the U. of Iowa. http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wrstephe/stat101/Project_rubric_S10.pdf
This is one of the better-known schools for statistics--agriculture was literally the field that many statistical techniques were developed for. The rubric they have gives questions for students to ask themselves about parts of the assignment, which I really like. I hadn't thought of doing a search for rubrics, but see how it can be very helpful in improving the ones we already use.
