Using Online Rubrics in NS Online
Students prefer feedback that is both frequent and timely (Reis, 2012) and balanced and specific (Fiock & Garcia, 2019). Faculty want to provide that kind of feedback for students, but how to do so for every student and every assignment? Grading with the NS Online rubric tool can help faculty provide this kind of feedback. Attaching rubrics to assignments makes criteria visible for students, and grading with NS Online rubrics moves quickly for faculty while still providing options for customized feedback. In this workshop, participants will discuss how well-written rubrics support student learning, view examples of rubrics in NS Online, practice creating simple rubrics, and learn how to attach rubrics to grade items in NS Online.
