We have great news to share with all rubrics lovers! With version 3.3 there is a possibility for students to evaluate themselves and their peers. With the Self-Assessment and Co-Assessment (peer assesment), you can send rubrics to the students and their classmates and even the students themselves, the most common case would be the parents.

A rubric is a tool to help assessment and can be particularly useful in the classroom when assessing is complex, imprecise or with subjective aspects. It can serve to assess the degree of learning achieved by the student in knowledge and skills, and also to be able to judge in a more ecuanimus way the process of learning, the level of achievement of the learning and/or the quality of the work carried out by the students.

This new functionality is perfect for teachers who use project based learning (PBL) methodology.
