Step 3: Measure the Outcome
Based on your rubric, give each student a score (0-4, for example, if you are using a 5-point rubric). Make sure you translate these scores into raw scores or percentages to give to your students and to possibly enter into your gradebook.
If you have followed this tutorial step-by-step so far, entering student scores should be simple:
- Make sure you are on the Home page. If you are not, do the following: a) Click the Home link in the menu on the left or the eLumen icon above it; b) Click the department in which you are a member (if just one, it will default there); c) Click the term of the course you want to measure (eLumen defaults to the current term); and d) Click the appropriate section.
- If you set up your assessment to accept Declared scores, click Declare scores under the assessment, then enter your totals in each box. If you set up your assessment to accept Direct scores, click Score Students, then score each student individually.
- When finished, click Save and enter analysis.
