What does it do?

The Rubrics tool can create rubrics for assessment and feedback purposes. Many academics have reported that using electronic Rubrics makes the process of marking, feedback and moderation far more efficient. The following table compares the two most common types of MyLO Rubrics: Analytic > Text Only; and Analytic > Custom Points. Alternatively, this video demonstrates the two Rubric types, and points out the main differences between them (4:25, opens in new window).
