Can it really be done? Of course... To be honest, you will have to enter the rubric name, the course, and the grade level. The rest of the rubric can be created using some of the Rubricator's unique features. Here's how...


From the Rubric List screen click the 'Create' button.




A selection screen will appear containing the different level rubrics the Rubricator 5 is able to create. Choose the level you wish to work with and click the 'Done' button. For this example a 3-Level rubric is used.





A blank rubric template appears next ready for your ideas and information. Notice your name and the current date are already entered and appear in the upper left-hand corner of the template window. The only information that needs to be entered by hand for this rubric is, the title, the subject, and the grade level.
Now on to the easy part, click the 'Add' button under 'Element Options'.





The Rubricator needs to know if you'd like to type your own elements, or pick from a group of elements that it has stored for you. Click the 'Pick from List' button.





A selection screen appears, use the drop-down arrow under 'Choose an Element Type' to display the current list of available types.





For this example we chose 'Writing' from the drop-down list.




After clicking the writing option, the 'Achievement Target' list changes to reflect what was chosen. Since 'Handwriting' is the target we want to use, nothing needs to be done with this drop-down list. Next click on 'Neatness of Handwriting' under 'Choose an Element'.




The element and it's supportive levels appear in the "Complete Element' view pain. To add it to the rubric, click the 'Add this Element' button.




The rubric template screen appears again containing the element.




Keep adding to the rubric by using the 'Add' button.

This time 'Drawing' is the element type used...




...And 'Illustrations' is the target.
This element is added to the rubric by, once again, clicking the "Add this Element' button.




The rubric template appears once again containing the latest added element.




Continue adding elements until the rubric is complete.
Once finished, the rubric can be save as a web page document, just click the 'Export HTML' button.




A screen will appear with many different style choices. For this example the default style is used.
Continue with the web creation by clicking 'Done'.




Next, a 'Save As' dialog box will appear, it's a good idea to set the 'Save in' folder to your Desktop so you can find your document easily after it's created. Once the file has been created it can be moved it to any folder on your computer.




Notice also that the file name is the same as the title you gave your rubric - No extra typing needed here! Click the 'Save' button to create the HTML document. Once back at your rubric template, click the 'Save' button to store your work in the database.


Upon saving, the list screen will appear again displaying your rubric creation. To return to the list of New Measure examples click the 'Show Examples' button.
