Rubric Design for Learning Assessment
These sample rubrics are part of OID’s suite of training materials that support faculty in designing transparent, equitable, and outcomes-aligned assessments. The rubric demonstrates how clearly defined criteria and performance levels can improve consistency and quality of feedback, while helping students better understand expectations and pathways for success.
Developed to accompany faculty workshops and course design consultations, this resource models OID’s evidence-based approach to assessment design—emphasizing clarity, inclusivity, and alignment with learning objectives. It reflects our commitment to supporting instructional excellence through well-designed tools and practical examples that can be adapted across disciplines.
