Finalizing Your AI-Generated Rubric
Once Rubriko generates your initial AI-optimized rubric, you can customize it to perfectly match your assessment needs:
- Review and Edit: Examine each criterion and rating description for alignment with your learning objectives
- Customize: Add, modify, or delete criteria to reflect your specific assessment goals
- Verify: Ensure all descriptions are specific and measurable
- Export: Save your finished rubric for immediate use or future modification
Before finalizing your rubric, ask yourself:
- Do these criteria assess all key learning outcomes?
- Are the rating descriptions clear and quantifiable?
- Will students understand exactly what's expected at each performance level?
- Does the rubric provide the AI with specific, measurable elements to evaluate?
