Rubrics for Blogging and Multimedia Projects

Assessment is one of the things that I'm often asked about in my blogging and website creation workshops. One of the assessment resources that I like to point out is this collection of rubrics from the University of Wisconsin, Stout. In the collection you will find rubrics for assessing student blogging, student wikis, podcasts, and video projects. Beyond the rubrics for digital projects there are rubrics for activities that aren't necessarily digital in nature. For example, you can find rubrics for writing, research, and oral presentations.

Applications for Education
These rubrics might not fit perfectly with the projects you're students are working on, but they could provide a good starting point for creating your own rubrics. Perhaps you could show the rubric you're considering to your students and ask them for their input as to what they think is important to be evaluated in their projects.
