[Mike] I'll be showing how to create and use rubrics
in your assignments for Microsoft Teams in Education.
Now, what are rubrics?
Rubrics are a great way to enhance transparency
and assessment by using criteria.
Let's go into the assignments, into the top,
I'm in my class team here and I'll create a new assignment.
I'll click the create button and assignment.
Now I'm gonna fill out this assignment form
pretty quickly, the title, the instructions
and the resources,
because we're gonna focus on the rubric part.
Okay, so my science project assignment is filled out
and now it's ready to add the rubric.
So I'm gonna go down here and click add rubric.
Now I don't have any rubrics right now,
and I'm gonna create a new one.
Now, first off, we'll give the title.
So this is my science project.
I'll enter a description.
Okay, and this is where it gets interesting.
The grading criteria.
So first off I'll have a description
and then I can have different criteria across these columns.
So in this case, I might have excellent, good,
fair, or poor.
Now, if I wanna use points, I can do that too.
And I'm gonna go to the upper right and click on points.
And now you can see there's points I could assign
for each of those columns.
And I can customize this.
If I wanna add another row, I click on plus,
and I could add another row to fill out
and a couple of rows here, I can even duplicate a row.
So this little button here is to copy a row.
What I'm gonna do now is jump
and fill out my rubric really quick.
Now you can see I've filled out the rubric
and I've got four criteria, experimental design,
scientific results, data collection, and verbal expression,
in each of the columns for excellent, good, fair, and poor
describe exactly what the criteria are,
which is great for students.
Let's say I wanna have experimental design
to be worth 40% and scientific results only work 10%,
I can do that.
The other thing that's nice is let's say I was changing
some of these and I didn't add them up to 100.
If I hit attach, it'll catch me.
Please adjust the weights to total 100%.
I can go back and make sure it all totals 100%.
Now I'm gonna click attach.
You can see the science project rubric is now attached,
total of 100 points and all of that
will be automatically calculated
when we go into the grading experience.
So now I'm gonna make this assignment to my whole class.
We'll set the due date to be tomorrow and I'll click assign.
I'll switch over to the student now
and show what that experience looks like
to turn in the assignment.
Now I'm signed in as Alex, a student,
and I'm gonna click view assignment.
Here's my assignment, I can see the instructions.
There's a word doc and the rubric.
And I'm just gonna open this as Alex and see, oh okay,
this is what the teacher has set for criteria.
I can see the weighting, very, very helpful.
Okay, now I'm gonna go and work on my assignment
and really quick, I'm gonna come back and add my work.
Okay, I've added my work as a student,
and now I'm gonna turn in my project, turn in.
Now we'll switch back to the educator
and show how grading with the rubric looks
in Teams Assignments.
I'm signed back in as Cara the educator,
and I'm gonna go to assignments here,
and I'm going to open up that assignment that I'd made.
I can see one of seven has been turned in
and Alex down here turned his in.
Click on Alex right here.
And now we're in the SpeedGrader view.
I can see the project turned in over here on the left
and on the right, you can notice there's this rubric
that's been attached.
I'll click science project.
This is the compact view.
So I can go through and select different criteria.
If I drop this down, I can see the next criteria.
And maybe I give him three on this.
I drop this down and I can keep going.
Now what happens is it automatically totals the points
above based on those weightings that I set,
which is really nice.
Now I'm gonna click done in the compact mode.
If you wanna go to the broader, bigger mode,
I click this little pop out here.
Now I can see the entire rubric.
Again, I can go through and select the different points
really fast and quick, which is nice.
I can also give feedback on each criteria.
So I can say excellent work and I can give things down here.
So it's nice to have that pop out, I'll click done.
I can also give feedback here for the overall project,
and then I can click return, click close.
That's a quick tour of rubrics
in Microsoft Teams Assignments,
and this will help increase transparency and assessments.
