Are your rubrics active learning tools, or just "grading receipts" handed out after the learning is over? Join this interactive workshop to transform vague criteria into dynamic learning scaffolds using Cognitive Load Theory and the TILT framework. Whether you're assessing traditional essays or innovative projects, you will learn and apply three practical technical writing rules to eliminate subjective jargon, reduce visual clutter, and optimize your rubrics for digital LMS environments. Rehab one row of an existing rubric during the session, and walk away with a clear, equitable blueprint that boosts student self-regulation and success.
