Waypoint originated with two challenges shared by all educators: creating the personalized, timely feedback that learners need, and measuring student progress in subjective (and important) areas like written communication, critical thinking, presentation skills, and information literacy. • We innovated around the basic idea of the rubric, the criteria-based assessment tool used by educators around the world in primary, secondary, tertiary, and post-tertiary education, and built a powerful platform that can be easily integrated with leading Learning Management Systems. Over one million evaluations of student work later, Waypoint has helped thousands of educators create better feedback more efficiently, and helped numerous institutions develop the data they need to understand their learners acquisition of the 21st Century skills that matter most. • Waypoint Outcomes creates innovative tools to help deepen the dialog amongst educators, learners, and stakeholders.
