Getting the Rubric Right

摘要

To evaluate the value of a clearly defined online learning grading rubric, or scoring tool, Solan and Linardopoulos developed a rubric that took into account the quantity and quality of posts, timeliness of participation, and communication proficiency, and then surveyed undergraduate and graduate student perceptions.
