Elizabeth,
Glad you found something you can use. I use the online generators many times to get me started in my thinking or get new ideas, but then develop my own specific to the course learning outcomes. Thanks!
De Monte,
Sure - I adapt things designed for the K-12 market all the time. Thanks!
One specific online source for rubrics is called iRubric. It is a good tool for creating effective rubrics.
Rhonda,
Thanks for another resource. The more the merrier.
Before doing this course I had no idea there were any web sites for developing rubrics. The thought never even occurred to me. So a quick little Google search for rubrics turned up a mere pittance of only "About 6,660,000 results (0.16 seconds)"
Good Lord! Did I hit the jackpot or what?
I see the Rubistar site that many others mentioned, but scrolling down further on the search results gave me this little gem:

roger,
Love little gems. Thanks for the resource and glad you hit the jackpot. Thanks for your input.
Google.com is a great place for resources for rubrics. If you type in the search bar what type of rubric you are looking and the area - you can find several examples that you can tweak to meet your needs.
Lauren ,
Examples are good. Just make sure the rubric meets your needs and helps student meet the learning outcomes. Thanks.
I don't know about online resources, but Microsoft Excel is by far my favorite. It is such a sophistated organizational spreadsheet that actually does the math for you if you program the calculations correctly. Great time saver!
Shana,
Just search Google for online rubrics and you'll find many. However, if you have a good system using Excel, by all means, keep going. I love that it does automatically calculate for you. Thanks!
Thanks, Roger. This looks like it would be a useful site. I'm lucky--the lead faculty at the online school I teach at have developed rubrics for the courses I teach, which is a big help both to me and the others who teach the courses. It provides for consistency across the sections and makes it easier for the instructor to know what to grade on and what the standards are.
I've been teaching an undergraduate and graduate statistics classes this session and just googled "statistics rubrics" and got the following from the U. of Iowa. http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wrstephe/stat101/Project_rubric_S10.pdf
This is one of the better-known schools for statistics--agriculture was literally the field that many statistical techniques were developed for. The rubric they have gives questions for students to ask themselves about parts of the assignment, which I really like. I hadn't thought of doing a search for rubrics, but see how it can be very helpful in improving the ones we already use.
There are many online resources to help us build rubrics. One is TeAch-nology.com: http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/. On this website, users will find one of the most extensive teacher resources for rubrics on the Internet. Users will find tools that help guide them through the process of creating these assessment tools for evaluating student performance. Users will also find over five hundred printable rubrics on the web site.
Another is TeacherVision: http://www.teachervision.fen.com/teaching-methods-and-management/rubrics/4521.html. This website allows users to review, reconceptualize, and revisit the same concepts from different angles improves understanding of the lesson for students.
William, yes, the links that you posted are just a few. There numerous others I found at this link: http://www.uni.edu/assessment/documents/rubricdocument.pdf
I would have posted all of the links found on this list, but the list is way to long (12 pages long). So, what we are all gathering from this exercises is that there many avenues available to help us build our own rubrics!! :-)
Mara,
Please review all rubrics that are handed down as thing change...things should change.
Willie ,
Thanks for the resources. We continue to learn from you, others and provided resources.
Thanks.
Willie ,
Right on. More and more and more information. Thank you.

Kristina,
Thanks for the resource.

There are literally thousands of online tools for helping build rubrics. Irubric is nice because it's fully compatible with the iPad which really makes things convenient… grading in bed… grading on the plane etc.I would say of all the online rubric generators, Rubistar is probably the most popular and rightfully so as the thousands of rubrics available in the site are fully editable.
