I have used several rubrics over the years to grade digital products my students have created. The earliest I used were simple to the point of being a “pass/fail” based on if they had completed a project. As I noticed challenges that were impairing my students’ messages in their media I sought and created or find other rubrics to address those issues. I find that focusing in on a few objectives in in a project is easier for me to grade and clearer for students to master per project.
I would encourage teachers to constantly revise how they are grading student digital stories. Ohler also champions this advice. "Therefore, we shouldn't expect to understand how to assess new media in education so soon after its arrival. But that shouldn't stop us from beginning the process."(location 973)
Below are some sample video project rubrics used by educators along with a rubric based on Ohler’s assessment recommendations. I encourage you to grade the rubrics and see how they both support students learning and sometimes miss the mark.
