This resource describes Lincoln Learning Solutions’ Online Assessments, how teachers can locate the Lincoln Learning-created rubrics, and provides LMS-specific links for grading.
Lincoln Learning Online Assessments
An Online Assessment is one the student completes within the LMS, similar to a quiz or test. It will contain a variety of question types including matching, ordering, multiple answer, multiple choice, passage, and/or essay. Once the student submits the online assessment, it is ready for the teacher or system to grade.
Online assessments can be formative and assess knowledge from one learning objective whose material is covered in the associated Read It. These are automatically graded in the LMS.
Online assessments can also be summative assessments, called Mastery Assess Its, and assess multiple learning objectives much like a unit exam. Mastery assessments are automatically graded in the LMS unless the assessment includes at least one essay question; any essay questions require teachers to grade the student’s written response.
Open-ended Essay Rubrics
All Lincoln Learning open-ended (essay) questions were created with a rubric. Each rubric contains criteria levels that explain to learners what is expected from them when answering the open-ended questions.
As students advance through grade levels and are expected to respond with more detail, our rubrics become more complex.
Generally, students begin encountering rubrics in first grade; rubrics for grades 3 through 5 are slightly more detailed, and rubrics for courses in grades 6 through 12 are the most complex. In addition to boosting complexity as grade levels increase, we have also tailored each of our rubrics for the content areas to which they belong—English Language Arts, Electives, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Writing, and World Languages. By adjusting rubrics for grade level and content area, Lincoln Learning Solutions can guide students appropriately toward subject proficiency and provide helpful and intuitive scoring resources for teachers.
