What is rubric generation?
Rubric generation drastically simplifies the rubric creation process by allowing the teacher to describe a rubric and use generative AI to create a rubric tailored to their scenario. The teacher will then be presented with the generated rubric for them to review and finetune by adjusting characteristics such as the target age range, length of generated content, and rubric details. Once the teacher has approved and saved the rubric, they can then attach it to an assignment to be used while grading the students’ work.
What can rubric generation do?
Rubric generation supports the following generative AI operations:
-
Rubric criteria suggestions – Suggestions are generated for rubric criteria based off the provided rubric title and description.
-
Rubric generation – A rubric is generated based off the provided rubric title, rubric description, age range, grading levels, and rubric criteria.
-
Rubric rewrite – A rubric is rewritten based off revised values for rubric description, age range, sentence count, grading levels, and rubric criteria.
What is rubric generation's intended use(s)?
Rubric generation is intended for teacher in the loop where the feature is only available to educators/teachers, and the teacher must review/approve the generated content before the rubric is shown to students.
What are the limitations of rubric generation? How can users minimize the impact of rubric generation's limitations when using the system?
Rubric generation is not grounded in factual knowledge, so generated content should not be assumed to be factually correct. Teachers should validate all generated content.
What operational factors and settings allow for effective and responsible use of rubric generation?
Rubric generation automatically translates content into the user’s specified language within Teams using Azure Cognitive Services. To check if rubric generation supports a given language, consult the ACS Translator’s supported languages list: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/language-support.
Providing rich context about the rubric within the title and description is crucial in generating a rubric that is relevant and valuable to students.
