Low cost, high impact, with just two clicks you can develop easy-to-use rubrics for online discussions and assignments.
We know building rubrics and getting instructors to use them can be challenging. But it doesn’t have to be when you use ChatGPT in Harmonize for rubric generation. The instructor is in the drivers seat as we generate success criteria for them to edit to make their own so the eventual rubric is something they want to use.
Based on your assignment prompt, we will create both the criteria and success descriptors. The instructor has the option to stop here if they prefer not to create a complete rubric, and we will prominently display these criteria for the student as they respond to the prompt. Alternatively, if the instructor chooses, Harmonize can expand upon the rubric’s dimensions, which they can then use for grading purposes. It’s important to note that the instructor can edit all of this content before sharing it with the student. This flexibility allows the instructor to tailor the level of success descriptions to suit the specific assignment’s requirements.
With the power of ChatGPT and a simplified approach to using a rubric for discussions, you’re able to scale a more objective approach to evaluation and provide clear expectations for student performance, both of which reduce potential unconscious bias during grading.
As an instructional designer, you don’t have the time to build discussion prompts and activities, along with their rubrics, for every course and instructor, do you? With ChatGPT in Harmonize, you can build online assignments and rubrics at scale, across all courses, for each instructor — without additional time, labor, or cost.
