Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology

The presenters for the session are Jonathan Mathews, Kyle Peck and Joy Jin Mao. Jonathan Mathews opened the session by telling us about the project--constructs rubrics within a web page, acts as an interactive scoring rubric, and generate a web page with various form of feedback, and it is FREE.

Dr. Mathews uses the rubric in large classes and the tool ensures consistency among TAs, peer review and just-in-time knowledge and skills review. Can be useful in research as well in terms of giving feedback and responding to needs. The rubric was then demoed. Very flexible tool! You can build your own rubric quickly and you can use any grading scheme including decimals. Behind each cell you can put in feedback so there is interactivity. The professor can create the feedback tied to a particular cell. Feedback can also be grouped to deal with one issue at a time or can be aggregated to provide feedback on a whole topic, such as overall style.
