Creating Rubrics using
Online Tools
Rubrics can be used in many ways. Once created, an established rubric can be used or slightly modified and applied to many activities. Reviewing, reconceptualising and revisiting the same concepts from different angles improves understanding of the lesson for students.
There are various online tools that can be used in order to help you develop rubrics for use in the classroom and an example of such a tool is ‘RubiStar’.
RubiStar is a tool that can be used to help teachers who want to use rubrics but do not have the time to develop them from scratch. RubiStar provides generic rubrics that can be printed and used for many typical projects and research assignments. RubiStar provides these generic rubrics in a format that can be customised, making it possible for teachers to change the suggested text in the rubric to make it align better with their own topics and teaching areas and levels.
