Evaluating Rubrics

Sandra, Definitely. Rubrics are no different than any other tools we use - they must be assessed. Thanks also for the link you provided.

Rubric Role

Frances, AND - the rubrics assist the instructor as well. They help the instructor be more objective in assessment and more consistent. Thanks!

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Rosalind, Offer "polish" - I like that. We do have to start positive and offer constructive criticism to help students improve. Nice job.

Evaluating Rubrics

Aaron, Absolutely. Test, re-test and then implement. Then, still get feedback from the students and edit some more. It's a never ending cycle, but worth it. Thanks!

Resources for Developing Rubrics

Aaron, Thanks for the link/resource. It's good to see some rubrics others use for examples, but make sure you tweak them to meet your specific needs and the needs of your students - aligned with the learning objectives. Thanks!

Time Management Skills

Daniel , Time management, or as many refer to it now, priority management, is essential in all teaching, but especially online teaching. And, expecting the unexpected can help you not "freak out" when things happen. Thanks for your input.

Information Management Skills

Daniel , Try the Frequently Asked Questions discussion board. Tell student to post all questions about the course there so that all students may benefit from the questions and answers. This helps reduce email overload. Thanks!

Mistakes in Making Rubrics

Aaron, Good point. As we use the rubrics, we have to think about the assignment as well and whether or not they connect correctly. We can also get feedback once we use the rubric from the students to enhance the rubric for the next time we use it. Thanks!

Variations of Evaluations

Betsy, Checking on whether the course objective were met, is essential. That's what our job is as online instructors, to move the students toward and help them achieve the learning outcomes. If student are not meeting the objectives, there may be several reasons why this is the case. We have to investigate those reasons. Thanks!
