 Rubrics and Grading Forms

Rubric scorecards can be used to evaluate student work based on defined criteria and scales. Grading forms can be used to provide free form feedback and scores to evaluate student work based on defined criteria. Instructors can create and share rubric scorecards and grading forms, allowing other instructors to attach them to assignments on their own Blackboard courses.

Grading using Turnitin for iPad

Turnitin for iPad allows instructors to mark and grade student papers with all of the favourite Turnitin features and the added benefit of grading offline. The app includes automated originality feedback and allows you to leave the following types of feedback on student papers:

  • QuickMark comments with personalised comments
  • highlights with comments
  • bubble comments
  • inline comments
  • strike through text
  • voice comments
  • general comments
  • Rubric grading.

​Please note that you should not mark work on the iPad and on your PC at the same time. Only one person should have an individual student paper open at a time. Having a paper open in more than one computer or browser at the same time will result in unexpected behaviour or the loss of entered feedback.
