Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. This is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to increase our personal productivity approaches, so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students. Introduction to Rubrics and PKM Introduction to Rubrics: An Assessment Tool to Save Grading Time, Convey Effective Feedback, and Promote Student Learning (Referral link). The authors show you how to create your own rubrics, but also how to have a group of students develop their own. The book is concisely written and gives you all the tools you need to develop powerful, descriptive rubrics from start-to-finish. Harold Jarche's Personal Knowledge Mastery Framework While this framework is specific to developing a broad, PKM system, we use it in this episode as a way of conceptualizing how to regularly discover, save, and develop rubrics for your teaching. Introduction to Personal Knowledge Management eLearning module This online course is one I developed for a doctoral class for educators on technology and leadership. It gives an introduction of PKM. A screen shot of the course and my PKM system is included in this post.

The application only includes 60 minutes of recording per month, which would not be enough for most of us educators in a typical semester, if we were using the service for a number of assignments. The app makers are not very forthright about this shortcoming in their documentation, when you purchase it. They indicated to me on Twitter that they are exploring options for expanding what's available, but as of this recording, no solution has been communicated.
