Import From Rubistar
IMPORTING A RUBISTAR RUBRIC
RubiStar is a fantastic FREE website developed by ALTEC, a non-profit organization run out of the
University of Kansas. RubiStar is a simple but powerful web-based tool to create rubrics that can be
printed and then used in a traditional way.
Note: Subjective Metrics (the developers of Waypoint) does not support RubiStar beyond
these basic instructions.
Instructors using Waypoint can import ANY rubric from the RubiStar library (of over 100,000 rubrics)
OR a rubric they create through a free RubiStar account. To import a rubric from RubiStar into
Waypoint:
1. Log in to Waypoint
2. Open a new browser window and visit: http://rubistar.4teachers.org
3. Use RubiStar to either
1. Search for an existing rubric in their vast library
2. Create an account and make your own rubric
Either way, if you find or create a rubric you like, you can import the rubric into Waypoint by using the
RubiStar rubric ID number. Here's how:
1. Write down or Copy the RubiStar rubric ID
{
2. Select Assignments from the Waypoint main menu?.
{
3. Click Retrieve RubiStar Rubric

You can enter another Rubric ID, or simply close the Retreive RubiStar Rubric window
The rubric will appear in your Waypoint rubric library. You can click on it to edit it (and
align Elements with Competencies?), or simply go to Evaluate and use it as-is to evaluate
and respond to students.
