Moodle 2.2 and Rubrics for Assessment

We are using Moodle 2.2 and I am beginning to work with our English department to establish rubrics as part of advanced grading methods utilizing rubrics.

I am looking today at University of Wisconsin/Stout’s Rubrics for Assessment site as it not only covers writing but also Web 2.0, ePortfolios, Video projects.  Yes, one can quibble as they use the term Powerpoint instead of slideshow, but you they probably don’t actually use more modern tools.  I am hopeful the site offers some good basic examples.
