Alan,
You are right. Going to the Internet can provide some good rubric examples and those to work from. Thanks!
I don't use online resources but I found a few in a short review. I thought this one provided some rich content without waxing the elephant or going too academic. It focuses heavily on success criteria.

A growing trend is for teachers to share their rubrics through an online marketplace like the link below. No reason to reinvent the wheel if there are are successful rubrics out there that can be repurposed and used again.

Nathan,
Thanks for the resource. We find many online and we have to make sure to assess what we find. Thanks!
I started off using a site called Authentic Assessment Toolbox

Michael,
And, what did you do after that? Since you started here - where did you "end up?" Thanks!
A quick google search yields many possibilities. I'm excited to take a more in-depth look at rubistar, but in the past, Ive used irubric:

Janette,
Thanks for the link and I am thrilled you are excited about the use of rubrics in your classroom. Thanks.
the University of Minnesota's Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA)provides a comprehensive guide on developing multiple types of rubrics on their website.

Hello Dr. Crews and colleagues, ïŠ
As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m new to creating rubrics. The text mentions several: Rubistar, Rcampus Rubric Gallery; Word Processing and Spreadsheet Software. I’ll begin with these Websites and resources and assess their effectiveness with my students.

Saudat,
Great resource. Thanks so much for putting that out there for everyone to use.
Sara,
Others are sharing others resources as well, so I'm sure you'll find some that meets your need. Keep moving forward in using rubrics. Thanks!
I haven't really used too many online resources other than the Microsoft Template Library. I usually just build them myself or use templates I have received from the institutions at which I teach. I really liked the paragraph on the available online resources though. I am going to give them a try the next time I have a need to create a rubric.
Francis ,
I think we do tend to make everything ourselves when we get started, but as we learn about more things that are available to us, we start to wonder why we are reinventing the wheel every semester. ;-) Thanks!
I like Rubistar. But if you just use google and type in ppt rubrics, you will get an incredible amount of powerpoint presentations. Many are from in-services about how to design rubrics. Some are projects teachers used in graduate school. Some fit the subject area that you are looking for. I teach math so I typed in ppt math rubrics. I look at the website name. I avoid the .com sites. I only use .org or .edu sites.
You can find many useful things this way.
Janis,
Cool! We love these type of resources. Anything to make our jobs easier. I like to use rubrics I find online, but then tweak them to meet our needs. Thanks!
I read that Google was a good place to start when creating a rubric. I was unaware until reading this last module that you could find a rubric online. I am excited to go online and see what they have and how I can put it in to use for my classes.
Daron,
Glad you learned something from the module. There are lots of online resources to help with rubrics. I find I can find a good base online, but I have to tweak the rubric to fit the need of my assignments/projects. Thanks!
I like irubric.com, but most of the time I end up modifying the rubrics to be sure they match the objectives that I have in my course. It is a good starting point anyway.

Deborah,
I modify as well when I find a rubric online. This is why it's difficult for others to "hand" us a rubric and say "use it." We have to make it our own and make sure it matches the objectives based on the assignment. Thanks for your input.
I have never tried an online rubric generator. I suppose I knew they existed but never had tried one. This was the first hit in google and it looks pretty comprehensive:
