What about rubrics for all Activities??

Hello All!

I do not know who is the moderator for this forum so I do not know who to officially address this to.  However I wanted to bring up the issue of the ability to use the rubric as an assessment and a grading tool with all activities, not only the Workshop activity.  This, of course, should be a choice for a teacher and not presented as the only way to grade an activity.

Should this issue be raised here or in the grade forum, or both?

I have also filed a bug on this
Bug # 2255,

I found a prior Bug # 795 but it only addresses assignments.  I think it would be a good tool to use with all the activities.

I had also brought this up on another thread a while back but there was no real discussion about the possibility of implementing it in all activities.

I agree that this would be a great enhancement to moodle.  Rubrics are important in qualitative grading and are more powerful and detailed than the current scales, though similar in concept.  Rubrics are important in a social-constructivist approach as they are particularly suited to the grading of activities, as opposed to tests and quizzes.

Great idea, WP.  smile

From the archives:

Moodle and other "constructivism" products ask more and more that students will deliver eassys and other "open-ended" products, stored in their personal portfolio.

Poor teacher who has to look at these products and grade them..

That's why I consider to give every task in a learning envoronment his own Rubrics-sheet, and yes in the way you choose: I give you five, you modify one of these: your improved number six and give that back to the community...

Put the word Rubics in your search engine and be astonished how the Rubrics-virus is spread in the USA.. to give you a compilation of designs of forms..

 (My favorite Rubricstore is http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ take one, give one back..)

In the website of webquest you see the most common version of rubrics, like this nice moodle version: WebQuest on Simple Machines

Here some other approaches in this old Columbia attachment...


I still dream of a Rubricstore, integrated in a better course-related-DMS in Moodle, giving each not-quizzy-learning-activity his own rubricsheet..
