- ''How do you use RCampus in your courses?''  

I was looking for a good rubric generator and found iRubric.  It was so SLICK and easy to use!  I never expected interactive!  I used it for the final project and embedded the rubric in a wiki for students to see exactly how their work would be evaluated.  When it came time to grade (60 projects!) it helped me to stay focused and objective.  I was able to leave good comments specific to each criteria and each project.  Students liked the immediate feedback and I think appreciated the comments.


- ''How does RCampus help you?''   

It saved me HOURS of time in generating a rubric, and even MORE time in grading projects.  It also helped me to be more objective.


- ''How does it help your students?''  

The rubric gave them specific guidelines for their project and how it would be graded. They could also access their scores and comments online.


- ''Have you used other websites/systems that provide similar tools? How do you compare us with them?''   

Yes...but none that were as easy to use or interactive.  This is the best by far!
