The rubric is intended to be used as a stand-alone resource. The following is an explanation of each category and how we framed it to meet our development goals.
This rubric is supposed to highlight the basic needs of all students and how well a certain e-learning tool fits into these needs. I think this rubric is a good start for analyzing digital tools that you may bring into the classroom, but the true test is seeing how much your students have learned from these tools after they are used. Just because a tool may fit perfectly in this rubric does not mean it will educate students perfectly in the classroom.
