The ANU Writing Learning Outcomes guide defines what effective learning outcomes are and how to write them. Refer to the section on constructive alignment and learning outcomes in practice to learn more about how to align assessment and rubrics.  

The VALUE Rubrics consist of 16 expert-developed skill-based rubrics from U.S. colleges and universities. They define essential criteria for learning outcomes, with performance descriptors indicating increasing levels of proficiency. These rubrics require a free sign-up to download, but they are freely accessible on the DePaul University website. 

This word bank resource is developed by Cordiner (2010) and provides useful phrases and language to write rubric descriptors. Section 7 is particularly helpful in providing examples of how to avoid ambiguous and vague language in our rubrics. Note that clicking the link automatically downloads a word version of the file.  

This TEQSA Online Learning Good Practice: Designing an Assessment Rubric provides a generic assessment rubric template and introduces some research-based taxonomies of learning qualities that can inform the development of rubric.
