Description

Teaching and learning research suggests that students need scaffolding of assignments, immediate feedback, and guidance to cultivate metacognition. How can you meet your students’ learning needs without 24/7 grading? Rubrics are one answer. Rubrics enable you to meet students’ feedback needs, link low and high stakes learning opportunities, and help students to think about their thinking. Plus they can speed up grading and make it more consistent, while clarifying how you want students to demonstrate their learning. This session explores how to build rubrics, activate them in Blackboard, engage them for self and peer review, and anticipate ways to use the resulting data. Join your colleagues for this discussion on how to create and use rubrics effectively.
