Pennie,
There are lots of options online. Cool that you know someone involved with building some.
Thanks!
I have never used an online resource to create a rubric. I will try the Google suggestion that was included in the module. But, I have a strong preference for my own tools. So, I doubt that I would like working with someone else's rubric or one created by a generator. I have a strong mental picture of what I am seeking in a submission and I construct my rubric to fit that picture and to drive the students to recreate the documents or content that I am seeking.
LE,
I create my own too, but I do look at the online tools many times to see if I can get ideas for criteria or to see if I have maybe forgotten a good category. Just helps me think about what I'm doing. Thanks!
I have never used an online resource to create a rubric, but read and explored some interesting links sent by Roger. Wow, thanks Roger!
Claudia,
Glad you found some useful information. I love it when we all start sharing in these forum.
Thanks to you and Roger!
There was some great information in the material that I was completely unaware of, such as googling "rubric" or even the sites that were named. Going to have to check them out.
Mark,
So glad this course was beneficial. Thanks for investigating rubrics more carefully.
I really like to create my own rubrics. I like to tailor them to my assignments and this can only be done when I do them myself. I have tried rubric generators, and they are helpful for generic items needed on a rubric.
Kara,
Me too. When I create my own rubrics I can then review the project/assignment and make sure it's what I want it to be as well. I use rubric generators to get ideas sometimes for criteria and to see if maybe I've forgotten to put some category in rubric. Thanks for your input.
Rubistar and rgallery. I've used the former, but not yet the latter. Thanks for the tip!

Jenifer,
Same here. I mainly use Rubistar to look at the criteria and categories to see what I've forgotten in my rubric. It's helpful.
I never looked online for rubrics! There are a lot out there, and they are for a very wide variety of disciplines. There are blogs about rubrics too.
Many well-respected "brick and mortar" colleges have instructor resources for buidling rubrics.
Here is a good resource from LaSalle at:
http://wp.lasalle.edu/blog/how-to-build-a-good-rubric/
Middle States Commission on Higher Education. (2007). Student learning assessment: Options and resources. Philadelphia, PA. [The section on rubrics begins on page 42.]
This is a lot deeper topic than I originally thought!

Tina,
Thanks for the Web links. It's always fun to find new things online. Nice job.
Hi Dr. Kelly,
Amazingly, I am working on my Masters in Education in Teaching and Learning on-line with Ashford University. We have covered everything but on-line rubrics. When I began working for my employer, I thought that there had to be a better way to grade some of the content. I started to search the World Wide Web and got an enormous amount of resources for ideas. I found that each rubric was unique in its own way and I took ideas from several rubrics to create my own. The number of resources were too many to list on this post. If you would like specific Website information, let me know.
DIANA ,
Thanks for sharing your experience and information. There are so many resources that we can access to help us devleop better more efficient rubrics.
That section of this course was very helpful--I had in fact tried www.ask.com and google but really got lost in the various/multiple sites listed--those specific sites were very helpful--I only wish I knew about them a few years ago when I started using rubrics--Dr Jim Young
Google would be a great suggestion to start.
James,
Great! I am thrilled you are learning through this process. We learn so much as we continue to get more information. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
Roshawna,
Yes, Google has so much to offer and so do many other resources. The key is to find what works for you and also helps the students. Thanks for your input.
I've used RubiStar and searched the internet for rubric examples in the past. I'm looking forward to testing RCampus and looking at their repository of rubrics.
Unless you are using a rubric generator or are provided with a rubric by the institution or another instructor who has taught the class, you'll have to revise any rubric that you find online to fit the objectives and other specifics of your assignment. I've found that using Excel is the best way to develop my rubrics because I can easily edit them as needed and can save them as a PDF file to post for students.
