Another usability change made in version 5 of The Rubricator,
is how the "Rubric Screen" works. Although most of the functionality
was made easier in version 4.5, we've continued to add your
"feature" requests...
When you open a rubric record the first thing you will see
is the rubric grid.
Take a look at the added "Rubric Control Buttons" to the left
of the grid.
If you don't like the current level titles of your rubric (Level
4, Level 3, etc.) just click the Change Titles
button. You'll be asked if you want to pick new titles from
the current list of title options, or create new ones on the
fly. The choice is yours.
Adding a new element (row) to your rubric is just a click away using the
Add button. Again you'll be asked if you want to choose an element
you may have saved previously, or jump right in and create a new one.
A confusing issue in previous versions of The Rubricator was just how do you edit
an element in the rubric grid. Now you have a choice, the old way, double clicking
the row, or now, highlight it by clicking once, and pressing the Edit
button.
What about rearranging what order the rows are in your rubric? Want
the last row to be first? Highlight it and click the Move Up button.
Want to move it back? Use the Move Down button.
What if you
don't want that element (row) in your rubric at all? Just click the
Remove button.
If you decide you don't like any of the changes
you've made, click the Cancel button located in the tool bar, you'll
be returned to the list screen, and your rubric record will revert to the last time
you it was saved.
Speaking of the tool bar...
An added feature to version 5 is the HTML Export
button (version 4-4.5 hid the HTML feature under the print option).
Once your rubric is set the way you'd like click HTML Export
button to create a "Web-Ready" version of your work. You get
to choose the style of the look you prefer in example style
view screen.
Just like some programs have skins that can be downloaded, as
new layouts become available, your arsenal of web styles can
be updated with a simple download.
Below is a rubric
created using Rubricator 5's HTML Export. Each link uses a different color style
from the many choices that are available.
NOTE: The links below will open
in a new window, use the "Close Box" of the new window to return to this screen.
