Sample Student Assignment & Rubric using Screencasting

Screencasting is digitally recording information on a computer screen, often with voiceover audio recordings to accompany the visuals. Screencasting can be done with a variety of tools such as Screencast-O-Matic, Screencastify, and Explain Everything. Educational videos available on YouTube, Khan Academy, and TED Ed are often screencasts. Screencasts employ universal design principles by presenting material in multiple formats: visually and orally and are especially useful in online, hybrid, and flipped classrooms.

A rubric is a scoring tool that explicitly states performance expectations for an assignment or piece of work. Rubrics are valuable to assessment because they give students clear goals, clarify instructions, provide a contract for grades between the student and the faculty, help ensure consistent grading standards, and save grading time for the faculty. This session reviews types and purposes of rubrics and how to create them in Canvas.
