Provide specific criteria for each level of the scale being used to assess learning targets, to better guide learners and inform assessment. Criteria can be set globally, then overridden to better contextualize a specific task or module. Even if an organization has not set criteria for its learning targets, the advisor can populate the criteria for a specific learning design at any time.

Target criteria clarify what is expected from learners to demonstrate a particular level of a specific learning target. They also help ensure learning targets are assessed by different people through the same lens.

When an organization sets up and uses Headrush with respective product and process rubrics as learning targets, adding custom criteria more precisely informs a learner of what is expected and reinforces the transferrable skill of discerning self-assessment.

Should you utilize Headrush's guest assessor feature, adding custom criteria mitigates confusion and improves clarity of what is to be considered for those external audiences who may not have an everyday appreciation of assessing students.

When adding and assessing learning targets, advisors and module creators can customize the criteria to offer even more specific context to the task or module activity. Customize criteria quickly with a spreadsheet-like experience. Easily paste in your favorite rubrics from a spreadsheet, then tweak them to fit your specific learning design.

When selecting targets on the Module Overview -> Learning Targets view, click Edit Target Criteria to start.

While viewing the Task Details -> Assessment section, click Edit Target Criteria to start.

Headrush accounts with the Admin role can add custom criteria by editing individual learning targets -or- in bulk via the spreadsheet import of learning targets. These are the default criteria that will appear whenever a target is added to a task or module. Advisors and module creators can locally override these criteria in the context of a module or task.

Admin accounts can bulk import learning target criteria by importing a spreadsheet that includes columns to the right of the last group description. Each column represents the respective level of the associated assessment scale with that learning target set.

In the example below, notice columns I - L of the spreadsheet. The custom target scale descriptors would be populated in the respective column row combination for each target. If left empty, Headrush will keep empty for that given target.
