Creating Item Rubrics

Rubrics are assertions or scoring expressions that are used to machine-score items. You can create rubrics for an item using rubric editors available in IAT.

You can create item rubrics from the Rubric review lane that is displayed after an item’s English content has been created. Use the button to open IAT in a new browser tab or window. Follow the instructions in the IAT Guide.

Creating Human Readable Rubrics (HRR)

Human Readable Rubrics (HRR) are rubrics that are created for hand-scored interactions, or to simply write out a supplementary readable version of the rubric for machine-scored interactions. You can use the HRR editor to enter the criteria used to score an item and to set the maximum score for an item.

You can create HRR for an item from the HRR review lane within the Rubric review lane. Use the button to open IAT in a new browser tab or window. Follow the instructions in the IAT Guide.

Aligning Items to Content Standards and SOCKs

Content standards and SOCKs define the knowledge, concepts, and skills that a student should acquire. Content standards are published by state education departments or other authorized institutions. When creating an item, the item content is aligned to these content standards to measure a student’s depth of knowledge.

You can align items to content standards and SOCKs through IAT from the Alignments review lane within the Rubric review lane. Use the button to open IAT in a new browser tab or window. Follow the instructions in the IAT Guide.
