Evaluation of Digital Writing

I am not creating a unit for the final project so here is a hypothetical assignment and rubric:

Assignment: Digital Writing and Research Video project

Goals of Assignment:
1. Understand role of research in creating documentary/informational video.
2. Collect graphics/images, quotes and facts used in video using citation style.
3. Clearly cite and give credit to graphics/images, quotes and facts used in video.
4. Develop criteria for evaluation of sources used.
5. Create video project appropriate for intended audience.
6. Organize content in logically and effective for intended audience.
7. Engage views with interactivity.

Peer-Review process:
1. Write useful feedback to peer after reviewing video project.
2. Revise project based on peer feedback.

I created a rubric created using Rubistar which focused on content and research.



I also created a rubric for the production elements. I like the idea of separating these two elements but I am not sure if this would make grading more difficult as it may be hard to separate the content and the production. I created this using iRubric--including trying out the grading feature.

The rubric is very impressive! I also think you put an interesting spin on the assignment by looking at the research process in creating a video. For some reason, little attention is usually paid to this step because the focus is often on the production itself.
