The Waypoint Fellows Edition is intended to help individual teachers build grassroots knowledge of rubrics and Waypoint. Faculty can build, share, and use rich interactive rubrics to create exceptional feedback for students and generate meaningful assessment data.

The Waypoint Fellows Program is free of charge.

Interested teachers need only complete a short proposal describing their use (or intended use) of rubrics and assessment. Please visit our Get Started page and click on the Fellows Edition section. You'll receive an email immediately with details on how to send us a roster of students so we can provision your account. All you need is an email address.

 


Fellows Program FAQ:   

We intend the Fellows Program to help individual teachers create exceptional feedback for their students along with detailed data on student achievement. Institutions with Waypoint Fellows on staff can even install our Building Block, PowerLink, or Moodle Module to make it easy to send grades and feedback, in bulk, to online gradebooks. We do, however, hope that institutions that start with the Fellows program will consider a paid license to access Waypoint's powerful collaboration and analysis tools.

  • Is there a catch? Some cut-off after which my institution will receive a bill?
    Fellows Program members can use Waypoint as much as they like. Our detailed support wiki is included in the license, but live support is not. The Fellows license allows individual faculty to create and use interactive rubrics, even to send feedback and grades to an LMS like Blackboard or Moodle, if applicable, but Fellows Program members cannot share rubrics with their colleagues or aggregate data across multiple assessments/instructors.
  • Is there a time limit?
    The Fellows Program does require a formal contract, which is a legal formality to protect both parties. There is no license fee, and our standard contract lasts one year.
  • As a Fellows Program member can I use Waypoint for peer review or self-assessment with my students?
    Absolutely. However, the Fellows Program does not cover TAs or outside assessors that you may want involved in your assessment and feedback initiatives.
