iSocrates can also compute a performance score based on instructor-assigned weights and evaluations, and generate printouts of the filled out rubrics to hand back to students. Like most good ideas, iSocrates first sprang to life out of necessity. With all of the pressures associated with academic careers, how does the busy instructor provide his or her students with useful feedback? Shannan and I first started asking that question while we were teaching multiple sections of the public speaking course as graduate students at Penn State and trying to get our dissertations written.
