A rubric is a scoring tool for subjective assessment.
Use our iRubric toolset with Click-to-Grade Technology to build and share rubrics, or use it in conjunction with our Course Management System to distribute rubrics to students, assess their coursework, and report their performance back to them. You can also engage in collaborative assessment with rubrics where multiple evaluators assess an item.

What is a rubric
A rubric is a scoring tool that's generally used for subjective and authentic assessments. In subjective assessments, rubrics help create a certain level of objectivity. As a result, learners are more clear about the expectations prior to assessment and are clear about their areas of weakness and strength after the assessment. In authentic assessments (which are usually subjective), rubrics help educators communicate and assess levels of performance.
Benefits of rubrics
- Clarify constraints with students, colleagues, other evaluators, administrators, and yourself.
- Communicate expectations with students: A rubric tells students what is expected of them, the grading criteria, what counts and what doesn't, how many points they will earn for each task, and how their work is graded.
- Bring objectivity to subjective scoring.
- Easy scoring and recording of it.
- Communicate grades with students: A graded rubric helps students understand how they were graded and what their areas of strength and weakness are.

Testimonials
iRubric is the easiest rubric wizard tool I have ever used. The wizard is intuitive and the staff is very open to feedback. The tool adapts easily to some of the large and complex rubrics I have used with it. The data reporting is amazing. It would take me so long to do the kind of aggregate reporting that iRubric provides to me instantly.

rCampus is an amazing tool for educators. I have been working on my graduate action research project for the last five months. I chose to try rCampus to set up a gradebook for my subjects. I created a rubric online using the rubric tool. I also utilized the coursework link to the student roster. I logged in the scores for my students’ pre-assessment and post-assessments using the linked rubric for the assignment. I loved the fact that I could just click on the rubric and it would tally the scores for me without having to do calculations myself. My favorite feature though of the gradebook was the gradebook statistics feature. This feature gave me the data that I needed to share for my statistical analysis of the results for my research. It also allowed for importing the data to an Excel spreadsheet using comma set values if I needed to use this feature. The rubric statistics proved to be extremely valuable for my research project as well. I have recommended this tool to every educator that will give me long enough to tell them about the benefits of this web 2.0 tool. As a graduate student in the Masters of Education program with technology as my emphasis, I have to say that I am impressed with this tech tool!
