Blackboard rubrics are interactive which means that instructors and TAs can use them during the grading process to grade assignments and provide feedback to students, making grading faster and more efficient. Students can view rubrics as they complete an assignment and also in the MyGrades tool, after an assignment has been graded.

Rubrics can be used with the following Blackboard tools: Assignments, Tests, Discussion Board Forums and Threads, Blogs, Wikis, Journals, and Grade Center Columns.

This Quick Hit session will focus on how to create an interactive rubric and how to apply and use it with a Blackboard assignment.

This is a Quick Hit session. Throughout the semester, the iSchool FCTL will host Quick Hit – 15 minute sessions. These sessions will be held in Hinds Hall 206F with an 8 people maximum in attendance. All session times will be 12:00 pm – 12:15 pm.

This session will focus on creating engaging student questions using Bloom’s Taxonomy as the basis. The following concepts will be discussed during this session:

• Students learn key concepts better when they have opportunities to actively monitor their understanding.
• Knowledge is socially constructed and people learn best in supportive social settings when working with peers.
• Students become better learners when we challenge them to answer questions that require the use of higher order thinking skills.

Objectives of this session are:

• Develop your own self-awareness and analysis of your current questioning techniques
• Identify key features of good questioning
• To enhance the planning for and use of questions

**REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED**
