Previous research has shown that peer assessment has beneficial effects on students’ learning. Inspired by the need to involve students in peer assessment for gaining constructive feedback for their works in translation and writing courses, we developed an android-based e-rubric. The study aims to create a standardized electronic rubric for facilitating self-and-peer assessments. Android was chosen as the assessment platform due to its customizability and affordability. Fifty-four students from two classes of English Department participated in this research. Interviews and focus-group discussions were conducted to identify the students’ needs and collect their feedback, while the online survey was done to measure their satisfaction on the developed application. The e-rubric was developed through eight stages: (1) needs analysis, (2) development of rubrics, (3) expert validation, (4) creating the e-rubric app, (5) testing of the rubric, (6) collecting users’ feedback, (7) product refinement, and (8) survey of users’ satisfaction. The results show that the developed e-rubric application supports collaborative works among the students. It allows them to perform peer-assessment more easily the developed e-rubric also gives them an engaging experience in completing the peer assessment. Students’ heterogeneity is the aspect in which teachers need to take into account in using the e-rubric application. This study has a focus on courses of productive skills i.e., translation and writing. The novelty of this research is using standardized electronic rubric for students to do self and peer assessment. Future researchers are expected to develop rubric assessment for receptive skills. © 2022. International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies.All Rights Reserved
