Revision as of 18:58, 9 June 2008

Collaborative assessment is when multiple evaluators assess the same item. For example, a faculty member may invite a department to assess his/her course or a student may invite his/her classes and teachers to assess his/her ePortfolio.

Any member can attach a rubric to a document, a website, or any object, and invite others to engage in a collaborative assessment. Our collaborative assessment comes with a live report of results and graded rubrics.

A Collaborative Assessment Exercise to Engage a Classroom

We have found the following to be a great exercise to learn about collaborative assessment, to teach students about rubrics and get them engaged.

  1. Pick a rubric that can be applied to a website.
    • If you don't have a rubric, copy the rubric at Website/ePortfolio Rubric to your area (open the link and click on copy on top of the rubric).
  2. Create a collaborative assessment for this rubric:
    1. Click on apply to... (rubricapply.gif) icon on top of the rubric.
    2. Under Option 2, select "assess a website".
    3. Enter a title (E.g. Rank this website) and the address of the site (e.g. http://www.rcampus.com) and press save.
    4. Enter general info about this assessment and press continue.
    5. Select the class to send the rubric to and press continue.
    6. At "Invite evaluators using one of the following methods:" page, select the message board link next to Method 1
    7. Send a message to your class. A link for this assessment is automatically sent with the message. The class can also access it any time by selecting rubrics, assessments from the top menu.
