Margaret McCullough on 20 Oct 10The link above is a great website that provides an abundance of information on creating authentic assessments for multimedia projects. The website provides links for creating rubrics on all types of multimedia projects. One can find a rubric for group projects, wikis, blogs, PowerPoints and podcasts, and PowerPoint's. One can use the rubrics to help determine various aspects in creating a multimedia project. The main page contains a quick link section to help the user easily find the needed links. Rubrics are a great way for the learner to understand the requirements of a project. A rubric falls under generative learning. Many times when a project is assigned, the student has a difficult time determining what exactly should be completed to meet all the requirements. Generative learning helps the learner make sense of the material and supports an engaging learning environment. By using a rubric on an assessment activity, the instructor ensures that the participants are actively engaged by helping them organizer the expectations and criteria.
