by

This event is now postponed. Apologies for any inconvenience. Once a new date is determined, we will repost.

Want to create rubrics that are aligned with cognitive complexity and adaptable across disciplines? Join us on Wednesday, November 19th, from 3-4pm for a practical workshop that walks you through step-by-step prompt engineering to build customized rubrics using AI. You’ll learn how to define academic context, select rubric types and scales, and format outputs for clarity and inclusivity. This session is ideal for educators looking to streamline rubric creation while maintaining rigor:

  • Step-by-Step Rubric Prompts
  • Selecting assessment type (e.g., essay, case study, creative writing)
  • Defining academic discipline and learning objectives
  • Uploading relevant content to inform rubric criteria
  • Choosing rubric format: analytic vs. holistic
  • Selecting scoring scale (2–5 point options)
  • Formatting output as a table with clear descriptors
  • Advanced Tips
  • Aligning rubrics with Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels
  • Ensuring inclusivity and accessibility

Workshop Outline

  • Workshop Length: 45–60 minutes
  • Audience: Faculty and instructional staff (beginner to intermediate AI users)
  • Format: Interactive (demo + hands-on practice + discussion)
  • Preparation: Bring a content item (e.g., your syllabus, article, case study, or lecture slides in document format)

Session is available to all faculty – attend via WebEx!
