It can be used to assess the level of achieved learning by the student on particular knowledges and skills, it is also a great support to consider everything involved in the learning process, the achievement level itself or the quality of the work carried by the students.

Here you have a practical case to comprehend all the possibilities:

Rubric practical case:

Let's imagine you assess out of 10 and you want to create a rubric to assess an activity on Reading skills for the Literature group.

Go to Assessment tools > Rubrics. Then, press the + button to create a new rubric. In the new window write the name of the rubric and define the number of columns and rows according to the assessment values.

In addition, you must define the Type of result of the rubric: Sum, Percentage or Average. Set the width of the columns, the height of the rows and choose if you want to use the same percentage on them (share the same percentage weight).

In our case, this is the setting of the rubric:

- 4 columns y 4 rows

- Type of result: Average

- Deactivate the option Use the same percentage in the rows

- Activate the option Use the rubric's max value and in Rubric's max value we add 10.

When you press Save a new chart will emerge where you'll need to fill the requested fields: Title, Mark, Description and % on each row:

- Left column: it refers to evaluation criteria, the didactic goals (what you want the student to learn).

- The top column: to define the values that prove the learning or acquisition level achieved in a given criteria. Moreover, to visually identify the different levels, there's a bar from green to red, where green is the best grade and red the worst.

- Central cells: to describe each level of performance (descriptors).

Once every single field is filled, press Save.

You can delete columns and rows of a rubric by pressing long on the title of the column or row from the app version or right click on the title of the column or row on the website.

Once you have created the rubric you can assign it to a column of the gradebook, in this case Literature. Once you're inside the group, create a new column to assess Learning skills. To do this in Type of evaluation > Rubrics and select the rubric you've created from the list, then press Save.

If you click on the cell of the first student listed, the assigned rubric to this column will appear, so you'll be able to assess each student by clicking on the corresponding cell of the rubric where the value is. The cell will be highlighted with the related color according to the bar at the top.

Once you've selected the descriptors, the corresponding grade will appear on the gradebook.

If you want a final grade according to percentages of the trimester, create a new column with Type of note > Calculations > Weighted means and define a specific percentage for each column.
