I would like a grading rubric for assignments so students can see how they earned their grade.

    Hi All!

    We are making AWESOME progress on our Interactive Rubrics Initiative! Coding is well underway and we are pushing to have it released in the summer of 2017 ahead of the 2017/2018 school year. 

    We were able to incorporate a lot of feedback from Teachers from our Discovery process and I am excited to get this important evaluation tool added to onCampus. It includes:

    * A Rubric Builder plus the ability to contribute and copy Rubric templates from a Rubric Bank.

    * Evaluation Methods including Points, Point Range and Comment Only. 

    * Clickable Proficiency Levels to make evaluation easy and intuitive. 

    * Ability to bulk post Rubrics and commit the grade to the onCampus Grade Book. 

    * Student and Parent views from the Assignment Detail to both communicate expectations as well as provide meaningful feedback. 

    Be on the look out for blog posts and webinars in the upcoming months. 

    Thanks for the feedback and helping us develop better software!
    Jackie

    Yes please!!! Rubrics are becoming a major focus at our school to the point that there's talk of switching to another LMS such as schoology or canvas. Teaching leadership wants faculty to be able to show the grading rubric within the open gradebook for all assignments and assessments. It sounds like having it built into the system would make it infinitely easier for teachers, and the importance for students to track their progress can't be emphasized enough.

    YES!!! A rubric would be amazing. I was shocked this didn't already exist. I use rubrics in Canvas and they make grading efficient and easy.

    Considering that assessments based on rubrics are pretty standard (especially if you teach in the International Baccalaureate program), this feature is a must-have for our school. We recently transferred from Schoology (which the screenshot above is from) and they have implemented rubrics. Why has Blackbaud not caught up?

    Additionally, the ability to create and share our own rubrics.

    Additionally, we would like to be able to set the rubric up for an assignment and then allow the teacher to score the assignment within the grading rubric.

    Example: Assignment is an essay due in English class. The rubric contains the following:

    Opening Paragraph: Description of what the opening paragraph should contain. Score: 0 = didn't contain the right information 1= adequate 2=great.

     

    We have teachers who grade every essay this way, so that it is very clear to a student why they got the grade they got and how to improve.
