Abstract: 
This paper discusses the development of a rubric using RubiStar, an online tool that facilitates the creation and customization of assessment rubrics for educators. The study highlights the importance of rubrics in providing clear expectations and criteria for student performance, thereby enhancing learning outcomes. By utilizing RubiStar, teachers can quickly generate rubrics tailored to specific assignments, saving time while ensuring that assessment criteria are transparent and accessible. Additionally, the paper explores how RubiStar's rubric analysis feature can assist educators in evaluating class performance, identifying areas for improvement, and refining instructional strategies. The development of a rubric using RubiStar offers a streamlined approach to creating effective assessment tools tailored to specific learning objectives. This platform not only simplifies the rubric creation process but also allows teachers to select from various templates and customize criteria based on their unique instructional needs. The user-friendly interface enables educators to modify existing templates or create new rubrics from scratch, promoting efficiency without sacrificing quality. Ultimately, this research underscores the value of integrating technology into the rubric development process to support effective teaching and learning, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in student achievement.
