Are you a teacher in higher education wanting to get the best out of your students and assessments? Then on behalf of Risbo, Erasmus University Rotterdam, we would like to welcome you to this MOOC on Assessment in Higher Education. In this MOOC we will guide you through the different phases of preparing, creating and evaluating the assessments in your course. After participating in this MOOC, you will be able to: 1. Design an assessment that is constructively aligned (content, level, methods) with the course objectives and activities 2. Apply the quality criteria with respect to validity, reliability and transparency for construction of assessments and assessment items 3. Analyze the assessment output and results, assess the quality of the assessment and make decisions about students’ grades accordingly 4. Formulate future improvements for an assessment For the assignments, you will be working with your own teaching materials. For example you will create your own assessment plan for your course. Next to that you will become part of a learning community with teachers from all over the world. We are offering you instructional videos, interviews, animations and checklists. In addition to these, there will be course activities, such as assessments, and discussion prompts. By participating in this MOOC, you will find answers to the following questions: • What is the role of assessment? • How can you select the right methods of assessment for your course? • What is constructive alignment? • How can an assessment plan and matrix help you in the construction of assessments? • Is it possible to make an absolute reliable and valid assessment? • How can the formulation of good assessment questions have an impact on that? • What is the role of feedback? • How can rubrics help with providing feedback? • What are the things to consider when performing an exam or item analysis? What aspects should you look out for? • How do you draw conclusions from an exam analysis and make plans for future improvements? • If good students fail on certain questions, what does this say about the question… or about your teaching? Are you ready for enhancing your teaching skills? Then take this journey with us.

Welcome to the last video about rubrics.

In this video, we will discuss single-point rubrics.

After watching this video,

you will be able to explain what's single-point rubrics are,

for which purposes you could use them,

and what the main advantages and disadvantages are of using one.

As a brief recap,

do you remember the advantages and disadvantages of

both the analytic rubrics and holistic rubrics from the previous videos?

So, let's move on to the single-point rubric.

In the previous videos,

I showed you an example of how you could use rubrics to evaluate your housekeeper.

Let's do that again but now using a single-point rubric.

The columns show the levels of achievement.

In this case, Below Expectations,

Acceptable Standard, and Exceeds Expectations.

The rows show a description of the acceptable standard for each of the criteria.

You can write down comments either left or right of each category to

tell your housekeeper how he fell short or how he excelled.

If his performance was as expected,

you can just highlight the second column.

With this rubric, you can focus on

your expectations and omit the description of a poor performance.

This is a more natural focus to guide students learning

because students do not aim to perform poorly.

The main advantage of the single-point rubric is the freedom it offers to provide for

elaborate and personalized feedback describing

the highest achievable or excellent standard as in

an analytical rubric could limit the creativity of your students.

With a single-point rubric,

students have to create a freedom to outperform

the regular standards in a way you might not expect,

but still regard as an advanced performance.

As a teacher, it allows you to focus on the aspects of

a student's performance you think are most relevant for their learning process.

Also, it allows you to still be transparent towards

your students why they passed or failed.

Next to that, this type of rubric

contains less text than for example, the analytic rubric.

Therefore, students are more likely to read it and it will take

less time for a teacher to create this type of rubric as well.

A fourth advantage is that when used for peer review,

this type of rubric helps students develop

their feedback skills because the reviewer has to actively construct the feedback.

The main disadvantage of a single-point rubric is that it requires

more time to provide feedback compared to using an analytic rubric.

If you have little time to give elaborate feedback,

you might want to consider only using this type

of rubric for self-assessment or peer review.

Now, let's apply the single-point rubric to

the example of evaluating your housekeeper's performance.

Notice the third column of the rubric.

Do you see that you can write down that the housekeeper

performed above expectations regarding the cleaning of the house?

You could, for example,

write down in the third column that they cleaned the bathroom exceptionally well.

Regarding the garbage, you can write down that there is room for improvement.

They have to throw out the garbage bag.

It will provide the housekeeper good feedback and they will also

feel that things they did exceptionally well are seen and appreciated.

To conclude, you could say the single-point rubric is

a good compromise between the analytic rubric and the holistic rubric,

combining the best of both.

The creation of a single-point rubric takes less time than

an analytic rubric and you're still able to provide elaborate feedback.

However, providing this feedback takes

more time than grading or evaluating with an analytic rubric.

So hopefully, after watching these videos you now

understand that there are different types of

rubrics and each rubric has its advantages and disadvantages.

So, which one should you use?

It all depends on what your goal is of using a rubric.

Do you just want to determine if a student passed or

failed or do you want to provide extensive feedback?

Next, you should consider the amount of time you have for

creating a rubric and providing feedback using one.

This of course is directly linked to the number of students you want to

use the rubric for and who will be doing the review.

Are you interested in using a rubric yourself?

Don't forget, there are a lot of good examples of rubrics on the Internet.

We will provide you some websites in the online module.

You can easily adopt those for your own course.

I would like to challenge you to create your own rubric for the course you are teaching.

Please share this rubric on the forum and ask your peers for their valuable feedback.

Together, you can make it happen.

Keep up the good work. You can do this.
