iRubric Rapid

iRubric Rapid is a high-capacity assessment solution built into the RCampus platform, designed for conducting multi-rater or juried assessments across a wide variety of evaluation scenarios. It supports the structured review of a large number of items — such as student submissions, performances, presentations, proposals, or artifacts — by one or more evaluators, both internal and external to the institution.

This tool is especially valuable for academic programs and administrative units that require efficient, consistent, and standards-aligned evaluations at scale.


Key Use Cases

iRubric Rapid is widely used across institutions and disciplines, including:

  • General Education assessments – evaluating core competencies across a student body.
  • Program-level learning outcomes – assessing performance against accreditation or program standards.
  • Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) assessments – structured evaluations supporting institutional initiatives.
  • Live or recorded student performances – juried reviews of speeches, musical recitals, or classroom teaching.
  • Poster sessions and presentations – evaluation during conferences or showcase events.
  • Contests and competitions – formal judging workflows for scoring participants.
  • Proposal and abstract reviews – committee-style evaluations of academic or funding proposals.

Its broad flexibility makes it useful for both formative and summative assessment needs.


Core Features

iRubric Rapid is designed to simplify and accelerate complex assessment workflows:


High-Volume Assessment Management

  • Create assessment folders that can hold hundreds or thousands of items.
  • Import or assign participants (students, presenters, etc.) into assessment folders.
  • Group submissions and assign rubrics in batch or individually.


Multi-Rater / Juried Evaluation

  • Assign one or more raters per item, enabling rich multi-perspective evaluation.
  • Allow for blind or non-blind reviewing based on your workflow.
  • Jurors and raters may be faculty, staff, external reviewers, or even industry professionals.


Centralized Rubric Use

  • Use institutionally approved rubrics or create customized ones specific to the assessment event.
  • Rubric scores and comments are securely captured and linked to each item.


Progress Tracking and Oversight

  • Monitor evaluation status in real-time (who has completed what, how many are pending, etc.).
  • Send reminders to raters and manage deadlines.
  • View audit trails and assessment histories.


Secure, Role-Based Access

  • Access is permission-controlled.
  • Assessment admins can manage folders and users, but assessors only see what is assigned to them.
  • Support for FERPA compliance and institutional privacy policies.


LMS Integration

iRubric Rapid works either as a standalone system or integrates seamlessly with major Learning Management Systems (LMS) via LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability), including:

LMS integration offers the following advantages:

  • Automatically pull rosters and student data into assessment folders.
  • Optionally attach LMS submissions to assessment items in iRubric Rapid.
  • Eliminate redundant data entry and streamline administrative workflows.
  • Allow assessors to access assignments directly from the LMS, where applicable.
