Web Resource of the Month

Use Rubistar to develop assessment scoring guides (rubrics) for classroom projects. For both beginners and those familiar with building rubrics, the benefit of using this tool is that rubrics can be created quickly at a fraction of the time. They can be saved (they get their own Web address!) or printed. Template rubrics on various topics are available (scroll down the main page to where it says "oral projects," "products," and "multimedia.") and can be easily modified by typing in the rubric cells. Get started by using their template ideas and modify!

Another advantage is that assessment data as measured by the rubric can be analyzed using their online assessment tool. Using this permits the evaluation of classroom "assessment of learning" data.

Rubrics must saved at the Rubistar Website if assessment of data is desired.

Rubistar also offers a complete tutorial page.
