WELCOME
[Time]Thanks for joining us for this week-long, deep-dive into rubrics. Well-designed rubrics are very effective assessment (and learning) tools. This micro-course will help you create rubrics that clarify course expectations, guide your learners, and assess their progress. Let's get started!

- Why this course, at this time?
- What is something you'd like people to know about you? Interests, family, pets, personality quirks, way you like to spend you time, dreams for the future, favourite something.
