Description
Teaching and learning research suggests that students
need immediate feedback, scaffolding of assignments, and guidance to cultivate
metacognition. So 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 (and yours). Plus they 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. Lunch will be provided.
