Creating a Human-Readable Rubric

The Human Readable Rubric Editor allows you to create a rubric that explains the item's scoring criteria in terms that educators can understand. The human-readable rubric (HRR) can serve as the primary rubric for hand-scored interactions, or it can serve as a supplementary rubric for machine-scored interactions.

The Human Readable Rubric Editor window (Figure 200) also allows you to set the maximum score for the overall item and the score for each criterion in the rubric.
