Carousel Mini-Module: Generating Rubrics

In this mini-module, participants will learn two methods for generating rubrics: using Copilot, a generative AI tool, and MagicSchool AI’s Rubric Generator. Copilot offers flexibility and refinement capabilities, though it lacks rubric-specific design, while MagicSchool AI's tool is tailored for rubrics, prompting consideration of learning outcomes and offering customizable descriptor numbers.
