  1. Rubrics in D2L DSU Faculty Workshop Aug 2012

  2. Topics to Cover • Forms of rubric • Benefits of rubrics • Write quality rubrics • Build rubrics in D2L • Link rubrics in D2L • Grade with rubrics in D2L

  3. What’s a Rubric? • A set of assessment criteria specifying • Aspects of quality • Levels of performance

  4. Holistic Rubric • One-dimensional list • Achievement levels • Key aspects of assessment

  5. Analytic Rubric • Two-dimensional, usually in a tabular form • Levels of achievement as columns • Assessment criteria as rows • Different weights (values) assigned to levels of criteria

  6. Benefits of Rubrics (1) • Provide specific assessment criteria and performance benchmarks. • Inform the learners how their work will be assessed and what is expected of them. • Help define “quality” work, and assess both learning success and teaching effectiveness.

  7. Benefits of Rubrics (2) • When students use rubrics to judge their own work, they begin to accept more responsibility for the end product. It cuts down on “Is this what you want?” or “Is this good enough?" questions. • Rubrics reduce the time teachers spend grading student work and makes it easier for teachers to explain to students why they got the grade they received and what they can do to improve.

  8. Writing Rubrics (1) • Measurable: Criteria should be in observable and measurable terms and can be assessed in reference to learning outcomes. • Granular: Levels of performance should be sufficiently differentiated. • Comprehensive: All important aspects of the task should be covered.

  9. Writing Rubrics (2) • You may want to start with the best and worst levels of quality, and then fill in the middle levels with differentiating qualifiers or quantifiers. • May want to involve students in creating a rubric. • http://support.dsu.edu/d2l/rubrics/

  10. Build Rubrics in D2L • Rubrics can be attached to Dropbox folder, discussion topic, or a grade item • The default status of a new rubric is “draft” which is NOT available for linking to a learning activity. • The status of a rubric should be “published” in order for it to be available for tie to a learning activity.

  11. Link Rubrics • Once a rubric is associated with a Dropbox folder or discussion topic that has graded submissions, it is locked and cannot be edited or deleted.

  12. Rubric Visibility to Students

  13. Grade with Rubrics • Rubrics can be graded by checking respective performance level radio buttons. • An option is available in Dropbox Folder for selecting a scoring rubric. The total score from the rubric is automatically sent to the Grades. • The auto transfer does NOT apply to discussion topic or grade item.

  14. Score Transfer to Grades

  15. Rubrics + • Alignment with learning objectives, and achievement of learning objectives to be assessed with a threshold (minimum pass level) of a rubric.
