Many program coordinators and college administrators are unable to accurately and dispassionately assess instructors’ performance. There are discrepancies and biases in their evaluation reports. As a result, instructors are unhappy and feel underrated. Beginning and new instructors, in particular, are not informed of what is expected of them. For those reasons, this article proposes the use of digital rubrics to ensure the reliability of teacher performance assessments. A rubric is a scoring guide that consists of specific pre-established performance criteria, used for evaluating students and teachers’ performance. In this article digital rubrics have been created for evaluating EFL college teachers’ linguistic and professional competencies using the iRubric building tool of RCampus LMS.
