RUBRIC-BASED ASSESSMENT WITH PERSONALIZED LEARNING RECOMMENDATIONS
First Claim
1. A method implemented on a computing device having a processor for creating a personalized pedagogical plan for an entity, comprising:
- using the computing device having the processor to perform the following;
generating an initial pedagogical plan to teach the entity a desired skill;
generating a computational representation of a rubric for the skill that provides a benchmark to which a performance of the skill by the entity can be compared;
assessing the performance using the rubric to generate assessment results;
identifying available learning resources that can be used improve the entity'"'"'s performance of the skill; and
recommending at least some of the learning resources based on the assessment results to allow the entity to improve its mastery of the skill.

Abstract
A rubric-based assessment and personalized learning recommendation system and method to aid an educator in teaching an entity in an efficient manner. Embodiments of the system and method include a computational representation of a rubric that is composed of composable rubric constructs. Each composable rubric construct corresponds to a particular sub-area of a skill being learned. Embodiments of the system and method also allow the educator to select a level of granularity of the rubric. This allows grouping together of entities that are having similar problems learning the skill and are performing similarly in certain areas. Embodiments of the system and method can suggest available learning resources for a single or groups of entities struggling in the same or similar areas based on their assessment results. The idea is for the entity to use these learning resources to improve its performance and competency in a given subject area.

10. A method implemented on a computing device having a processor for assessing performance of an entity in performing a particular skill, comprising:
using the computing device having the processor to perform the following; generating a rubric for the skill that provided a benchmark of how the entity'"'"'s performance in the skill will be assessed; defining a composable rubric construct for each sub-area of the skill, where each sub-area corresponds to a discrete portion of the skill; composing a rubric from each of the composable rubric constructs such that the rubric contains each of the composable rubric constructs; and assessing the performance of the entity using the rubric to generate assessment results for the entity. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method for helping a group of students learn a skill, comprising:
-
generating an initial pedagogical plan designed to help an educator teach the skill to the group of students; defining a rubric for the skill by which each student'"'"'s mastery of the skill can be determined; generating a computational representation of the rubric using composable rubric constructs, where each composable rubric construct corresponds to a sub-area of the skill; testing a knowledge of the skill of each of the students in the form of a test; assessing each student'"'"'s performance on the test using the rubric to generate assessment results; identifying available learning resources that will help each student improve in the skill; and providing personalized learning resource recommendations of at least some of the available learning resources to each of the students to help each student improve in an area of the skill in which the student is having trouble so as to improve in the skill. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
