Evaluating Student Multimedia Projects

Multimedia reports and projects combine text, graphics, sound, animation, and video and are created for a large audience of peers. The same rubrics that previously were used to evaluate student writing, reports and projects are no longer valid assessment tools. New criteria are called for to include the students' use of multimedia elements. The following set of criteria may help you develop a new rubric.
