Rubrics are being used in a wide variety of disciplines in higher education to evaluate the assessments and provide feedback to students. Rubrics are traditionally implemented as paper - based table to grade assessments and provide feedback. The advancement of technology has integrated the Rubric Tool into Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Blackboard to facilitate online marking. In this conceptual paper,  we  aim  to  evaluate  the  effectiveness  of  the  Rubric  Tool.  We  propose  an  integrated  conceptual framework applying various theories from the extant literature to assess the effectiveness of the Rubric Tool. Furthermore, we use the framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the Blackboard LMS Rubric Tool  applied  in  an  undergraduate  course  for grading  assessments  under  the  settings  of  an  Australian International University in Asia.
