Case study 7

By Dr. Julie Saam, Assistant Dean, School of Education, Indiana University Kokomo

How did iRubric help you as an administrator?

-When collecting data as an administrator sometimes it seems quite invasive to faculty. With iRubric, I was able to collect the data on the backend of the program and didn’t need to bother faculty. Faculty members did their business as usual and was not bothered for data for program review.

How did it help your instructors, including you as an instructor?

-iRubric simplified grading so much so that my time spent was literally cut in half. We decided to move to iRubric as a department to simplify data collection for program review but iRubric was so easy to use most of our faculty including me used it in all my classes for all my assignments whether data was collected for those or not.

How did it help your students?

-Student loved the immediate detailed feedback iRubric could provide.
