Psychometric validation study of the Authentic Online Work Rubric using lesson-level data from online courses developed by one of the largest U.S. online course providers. The article reports that the author "validated the scale using principal component analysis" before IRT scoring of both subscales. No component loadings or fit statistics are printed in the available text.
