D2L Update
A better way for rubrics
On August 8, select features in D2L will be upgraded. This includes rubrics, which are simpler for professors to use. If you use D2L’s interactive rubric tool, you know that currently it’s a bit cumbersome when you use the rubric to grade a dropbox assignment or discussion and have rubric information display in students᾽ grade reports (that feeds from the gradebook). Perhaps you opted not to use rubrics in D2L for this reason. Check out the COLI blog to learn how rubrics will be easier to use in the fall semester.
Our students appreciate rubrics, having extensive experience with them in their primary and secondary educations. They also like D2L’s gradebook feature, too. Now, both rubrics and the gradebook are easier for professors to use.
