Best Practices: “How To” Videos for Creating Moodle Rubrics

Best Practices: “How To” Videos for Creating Moodle Rubrics
By Rebecca DeSantis, MSIT, Moodlerooms Instructional Designer

The much anticipated Moodle Core 2.2 rubrics will be available to Moodlerooms customers with the upcoming Summer 2012 release of joule. Rubrics are a great tool for evaluating performance in any classroom. With this new release, educators can quickly create a Moodle rubric with specific “criterion” and associated “levels” for evaluation. As of right now, rubrics are an advanced grading method for Assignment activities only.

In anticipation of this upcoming feature release, I created three videos on Moodle rubrics to jump start your transition from paper to online rubrics. You’ll be able to create rubrics from scratch or by using a predefined template, and you can grade within the rubric itself! In addition, site administrators, and those given permission, can save the various rubrics as global/public templates for all users to reuse.
