Overview

You can create a rubric in WISEflow at any time, without needing to have an assessment (flow) set up first. The rubric will need to be published and then attached to a flow in order to be used by markers. Rubrics are created via the Authoring role:

...

  • Preview button Preview your rubric as it would appear to a marker. (Note that this does not include calculation and entry of the overall grade)

  • Edit button Edit the title, description and tags of your rubric

  • Copy button Create a copy of your rubric

  • Grade scaler button Add a grade scaler. See Adding a Grade Scaler to your rubric for more information.

  • Delete button Delete the entire rubric

...

Once you are satisfied with your rubric, you will need to publish it so that it can be attached to a flow (assessment) and used for marking. See Publishing and sharing your rubric for more information.

Creating a Custom Rubric

...

Tip: using rubric template questions can take a lot of the work out of building a custom rubric from scratch. See Rubric templates for more information.

  1. Select a question to create. In this example, a range scoring question has been used. The rubric criterion and description should be entered in the question text field and the maximum score for the question has been defined.

    Depending on which question type you select, you may have more complex scoring options or choose to set it as a practice or unscored question. Click Create question to finish.

  2. You will now see an item (page) containing your created question inside your custom rubric. The scoring of the question is visible at several points: next to the question (1), on the item header (2) and on the rubric header (3).

  3. Continue to add questions to your custom rubric as needed either by clicking +Add content to the item to add new questions to your existing item (page) or clicking +Add an item to create a new item and question. In most cases, it is preferable to keep all of your rubric questions in a single item. You can also use the dark grey tabs at the end of each question to drag and reorder them in the rubric.

    The total number of questions in your rubric and the maximum achievable score can be seen underneath the rubric header.

Rubric templates

  1. Create a standard or custom rubric as normal. Click the option to add an item or a matrix as appropriate and then select From Content Bank.

  2. This will bring up the content bank where any pre-existing items or matrices that are available can be added to your rubric. Template content will be clearly labelled as such and you can preview any material before you select it to add to your rubric.
    For custom rubrics: the templates also list the weighting of each individual item and can be searched for by format (e.g. drop-down, mark entry, grid).

  3. For custom rubrics: use the + and - buttons to add as much content as you like, normally until the total weighting for all items is 100% (this can be ignored if the entire rubric is zero-weighted).
    For standard rubrics: use the radial button to select a matrix to add.
    In both cases: click Import to finish.

Tip: for best results, avoid combining template formats in a custom rubric if the content is weighted (e.g. using a 25% drop-down question and a 30% mark entry question in the same rubric). This ensures that the rubric looks clear and consistent both to staff and students.

  1. For custom rubrics: your selected content will have been added to the rubric as separate items (pages). To combine them all into a single item, scroll down to the bottom of your rubric and tick the checkbox to select all items. From the Actions drop-down that appears, choose Merge the selected items to a single item.

  2. You can now edit the template and add your own written content to it as normal.
