RubiStar
While
many teachers want to use rubrics or are
experimenting with writing rubrics, they
can be quite time-consuming to develop.
RubiStar is a tool to help the teacher
who wants to use rubrics but does not have
the time to develop them from scratch.
RubiStar provides generic rubrics that
can simply be printed and used for many
typical projects and research assignments.
The unique thing about RubiStar, however,
is that it provides these generic rubrics
in a format that can be customized. The
teacher can change almost all suggested
text in the rubric to make it fit their
own project.
