iRubric Juried & Multi-Rater Assessments

Overview

iRubric brings structure, transparency, and consistency to multi-rater (juried) assessments across disciplines. Whether it’s a juried art review, business presentation, or institutional research initiative, iRubric enables evaluators to assess student work or submissions using standardized rubrics that ensure fairness and actionable insights. Institutions can collect scores, comments, and evaluations from multiple raters with ease, gaining a holistic view of performance and quality.

Why Multi-Rater Assessment Matters

Multi-rater (juried) assessment enhances fairness and depth by incorporating multiple perspectives into the evaluation process. For administrators, it supports accreditation, QEP initiatives, and institutional effectiveness efforts by generating reliable, comparable data. For faculty, it ensures that assessments are consistent and evidence-based, reducing subjectivity and bias.

With iRubric, programs and departments can conduct juried assessments in a centralized, rubric-driven environment that promotes collaboration and accountability — all without compromising ease of use.

Why Rubric Juries

Rubrics bring objectivity and structure to juried and multi-rater assessments in ways that surveys or checklists cannot. While survey tools capture perceptions or satisfaction levels, rubrics define clear, measurable criteria for performance and achievement. Each criterion is described at multiple levels of proficiency, allowing evaluators to score consistently and provide meaningful feedback.

Rubric-based juries make it possible to:

• Ensure transparency and fairness across evaluators by using common standards.

• Gather quantitative and qualitative data from multiple raters for deeper insights.

• Provide actionable feedback tied directly to learning outcomes or performance goals.

• Support institutional reporting and accreditation with structured, evidence-based results.

Unlike traditional survey tools, which rely on subjective impressions or limited rating scales, rubric juries create an authentic evaluation process where every score reflects defined expectations and measurable outcomes.
