rGrade is a web-based, rubric-driven grading and assessment environment. It is a central component of a performance-based assessment model, in which the student's demonstration of learning is examined and assessed using a lens defined by a rubric and made evident to the student before, during, and after engagement in the learning activity. rGrade can be used for all grading in a course, regardless of whether it is a rubric-based assignment or not. Both digital (web-based) and non-digital artifacts can be assessed as assignments. Student learning and an instructor's own performance can be analyzed using standardized instruments or ad hoc rubrics.
