Rubrics Page

This page lets you create rubrics and check assessments on them. If rubrics have been entered already, at the top of the Rubrics Page you will see a list of current rubrics in table format with column headings.

Your rubrics are what assessments are made on and give the assessor guideline to assess the work they have received.

Rubrics in ePortfolio must be linked to the relevant section of the Table of Contents (TOC) that the student has used when creating their portfolio. Therefore, the links and structure of a portfolio are determined by the TOC, and if the student wants to submit a page using one of these TOC sections, there must be a rubric attached to the section.

You can sort each of the columns by clicking on it's title. The column that is currently sorted is highlighted in yellow. The meaning of each headings is as follows:

• Name - The name given the rubric. We recommend the use of the actual assignment name as this is what the candidate sees when he or she submits something for assessment from their ePortfolio.
  
• Author - The person who initially created the rubric. Before you edit a rubric you should consult with this individual.
  
• Date - The date of creation of the rubric OR its last date of modification.
  
• Regime - This tells the software how who and how something is to be assessed.
  
• Dept - Assign Rubrics to Departments.
  
• Actions - This gives you five options of what to do with an existing rubric:
  
  

	Action	Description
	View	Shows the rubric in table format
	Assessments	See the results for all assessments made on this rubric.
	Edit	Customize the sections and linkages within a standard.
	Delete	Permanently remove this standard and all sub-sections.
	Test	Will let you see how the rubrics will appear during the assessment process..

Underneath the list of rubrics, you have the following options:

• Add rubric- Write a new rubric either in basic or advanced mode (from a link at the bottom of the page). More...
• Add formula rubric- Get a focused report by combining criteria from multiple rubrics. More...
• Copy rubrics- Make a copy of 1 or more existing rubrics.
  

Other Information on this Page

• Data presentation labels. This feature allows you to enter the common labels you want to use in ALL your rubrics in ePortfolio. More...
• Time Horizon for reporting. This gives you the ability to set a date prior to which previous results are excluded. Any results shown will be from the Time Horizon to the current date and time. More...
• Rubric Size. This sets the number of criterion that are presented as a default when a new rubric is made. The default is "7". You can set it to any number between 1 and 40.
