Grading Rubrics
The ANGEL LMS' grading rubrics simplify the process of grading manually graded items and assure that students are evaluated against the same criteria by the same or multiple graders. Rubrics further strengthen ANGEL’s support for a learning outcomes approach. By aligning rubrics to standards and/or objectives, institutions can measure student progress against goals.
Rubric Characteristics
Grading rubrics provide the following capabilities to instructors:
- Simple creation – create rubrics using a simple three-step process.
- Alignment to standards – align to or copy grading rubrics from system standards.
- Consistent evaluation – define specific criteria and achievement levels to evaluate all submissions against the same set of criteria.
- Point-and-click grading – score student's work by simply clicking in the cell that corresponds to their level of achievement for a particular criteria. The rubric calculates the score based on the point value of the assignment. An instructor can override any point value.
- Sharing – reduce rework by sharing rubrics in or across departments through the learning object repository. Instructors can browse and preview all shared rubrics when creating an assignment.
Student Benefits
Instructors can allow students to preview their criteria before beginning an assigmment. By seeing the criterial in advance, students have the opportunity to tailor their submission to the criteria. Students can also be given the ability to review a grading rubric after their submission to see how their work was evaluated to provide post-evaluation review.
