Jenifer,
Same here. I mainly use Rubistar to look at the criteria and categories to see what I've forgotten in my rubric. It's helpful.
Rubistar and rgallery. I've used the former, but not yet the latter. Thanks for the tip!

Kara,
Me too. When I create my own rubrics I can then review the project/assignment and make sure it's what I want it to be as well. I use rubric generators to get ideas sometimes for criteria and to see if maybe I've forgotten to put some category in rubric. Thanks for your input.
I really like to create my own rubrics. I like to tailor them to my assignments and this can only be done when I do them myself. I have tried rubric generators, and they are helpful for generic items needed on a rubric.
Mark,
So glad this course was beneficial. Thanks for investigating rubrics more carefully.
There was some great information in the material that I was completely unaware of, such as googling "rubric" or even the sites that were named. Going to have to check them out.
Claudia,
Glad you found some useful information. I love it when we all start sharing in these forum.
Thanks to you and Roger!
I have never used an online resource to create a rubric, but read and explored some interesting links sent by Roger. Wow, thanks Roger!
LE,
I create my own too, but I do look at the online tools many times to see if I can get ideas for criteria or to see if I have maybe forgotten a good category. Just helps me think about what I'm doing. Thanks!
I have never used an online resource to create a rubric. I will try the Google suggestion that was included in the module. But, I have a strong preference for my own tools. So, I doubt that I would like working with someone else's rubric or one created by a generator. I have a strong mental picture of what I am seeking in a submission and I construct my rubric to fit that picture and to drive the students to recreate the documents or content that I am seeking.
Pennie,
There are lots of options online. Cool that you know someone involved with building some.
Thanks!
William,
Yes, Rubistar and other rubric makers help me remember or think about criteria that I am not currently using in a rubric. Nice job.
I have used Google on the couple of occasions that I researched options. There are a number of tools available for K-12 and Higher Ed. Penn State had a great tool that works well for me with Higher Ed. One of my collegues actually had a hand in helping build it so I am partial to it.
In order to understand the purpose, planning, and constuction of a rubic, I reviewed several samples from Rubistart. Rcampus rubric gallery contained many specific rubrics which could be adapted for one's cources. Experienced faculty members also provided samples from their classes.
Ron,
Thanks. Glad you are finding this as a good resource.
Great resource. I can't wait to get in there and look around. Should really help me out.
Sunil,
Thanks for the resources. These will be very beneficial to many others. Thanks again.
Although, I have created rubrics for some business courses in the past, I was in for a surprise to see so many websites out there to support teachers to come out with most relevant and interesting rubrics with clear sentences for the students to understand the rubrics with least amount of confusion. I will certainly use the following five web links, if I were to develop rubrics for any business courses:
1. http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
2. http://www.rubrics4teachers.com/
3. http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/rubrics.cfm
4. http://www.schrockguide.net/assessment-and-rubrics.html
5. http://www.teachersfirst.com/lessons/rubrics/index.cfm
I have deep experience of changing the learning experience of the students by sharing rubrics at the beginning of the course and at the beginning of every week’s assignment/discussion or project. By using the simple, detailed and clear rubrics; I could change the learning experiences of the students in a very positive manner. In fact, on several occasions students could measure their own progress and comment on their improvement at the end of the course. They thanked for clear and transparent evaluation based on the rubrics.
Thanks,
Sunil
David,
Thanks for this resource too. It is good that we can share what is working for us so that others may benefit. Thanks again.
Reginald,
Penn State has some wonderful resources. Thanks for sharing. We should all be on the lookout for more great tools.
