What are General Education Institutional Rubrics SSC?
- General education outcomes assessments demonstrate how SSC students are performing on important, institutional skills throughout the General Education class requirements for associates degree programs.
- General education outcomes assessment is one of the stated Goals for the college and it is required by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) for accreditation.
- General Education Institutional Rubrics are pre-designed and ready for instructors to use in D2L. Instructors just have to attach the D2L Rubric to an assignment and then grade an assignment based on that rubric.
- Here is a list of the current General Education Institutional Rubrics in D2L:
- SSC Oral Communication Skills Rubric
- SSC Problem-Solving Skills Rubric (Assessment of Effective Use of Critical Thinking Skills)
- SSC Technology Skills (Assessment of the use of Technology)
- SSC Written Communication Skills Rubric
- Coming Soon! SSC Multiculturalism Rubric

What are Course Level Rubrics SSC?
- Course level rubrics are usually created by the instructor in D2L (unless they’d like to adapt a general education rubric above). The instructor then attaches their D2L rubric to an assignment and grades the assignment based on that rubric.
- Course level assessments begin with Student Learning Outcomes listed on the syllabus of each course and those outcomes are then aligned to a rubric for a particular course assignment.
