Interactive Rubrics

A Rubric is a tool that lists evaluation criteria for an assignment. Rubrics can help students organize their efforts to meet the requirements of an assignment. Faculty can use Rubrics to explain their evaluations to students.

Rubrics are made up of rows and columns. The rows correspond to the various criteria of an assignment. The columns correspond to the level of achievement expressed for each criterion. A description and point value for each cell in the rubric defines the evaluation and score of an assignment. 

In addition to regular assignments, Blackboard's Interactive Rubrics can be associated with short answer Test questions, gradeable Blogs, Journals, Wikis, and Discussion Board threads and forums.
