RubiStar, a rubric creator for student assessment

Marking and feedback

Description: Rubistar is a tool for creating rubrics to assess student work. Users input criteria and performance levels, and Rubistar generates a rubric template. Also, Rubistar features pre-made rubrics for different topics (e.g. Reading, Writing, Math, Art, etc.). Rubrics can then be printed for classroom use and saved for later with an account. Rubistar also allows editing, duplicating, analysing, or deleting rubrics. Rubrics can be set as temporary or permanent, with temporary rubrics expiring in one week, and permanent ones being stored indefinitely. Finally, Rubistar assigns an ID number to each rubric, making them easier to locate. Rubrics are also assigned an ID number to find later. It can be used without creating an account, but signing up allows easier access.

Evaluation: Rubistar is a helpful tool for teachers to create their rubrics and facilitate assessing students’ performance. Also, it can be a great time-saver, especially if using existing rubrics posted by other users on the website. Sharing rubrics in advance with students can also help them better grasp what is being asked of them and evaluated, providing guidance. Finally, Rubistar provides an analysing feature to help teachers understand where students need more support. For example, if teachers realise that students make the most mistakes in a specific exercise, they can input students’ answers on Rubistar to comprehend the problem better and find solutions.

Cost: Free.
