As you know, a rubric is a grading standard established for
a given assignment. The rubric consists of various criteria. For
each criterion, several descriptive levels are provided. Have you ever
wished that you could have a rubric right inside Moodle and use it to grade
assignments that are submitted through the system? Well, now you can!
Imagine this:
A student submits an assignment via Moodle.
You open the assignment and use a rubric inside of Moodle to award appropriate points for each criterion on the rubric.
You open the assignment and use a rubric inside of Moodle to award appropriate points for each criterion on the rubric.
Moodle gives a grade based on the points that you select for
each item/criterion.
The grade automatically transfers into the grade book!
Why would one do this?
- It assures that the assignment objectives are tied to particular assessments.
- A rubric only needs to be created ONE time and it can be shared across assignments!
- It will allow for consistency across courses. For example, the same rubric that is used to assess a forum discussion in one course can be used in another course as well.
- It’s easier! You don’t have to get out your syllabus and look at your rubrics and switch from looking down at your paper to up at the screen! You can do it all electronically!
- Moodle does the math for you!
