Difficulties Assessing Multimodal Projects

14782 Evaluation and Assessment
Difficulty: One recurring issue our team encountered (and revised for) was the balance of critical content in the written sections with the lay-out and design choices of the pages writ large. Because of Scalar’s template-based platform, students’ design choices will always have an element of polish to them. This is one of the appeals of using Scalar in a classroom—it creates engaging, vibrant multimodal projects without having to know or learn complex coding languages. So how do you evaluate these design choices that are so central to projects of this nature with the crucial written content that often marks the moments of truly creative thought by the students?
 
Solution: Our team used detailed rubrics and grade sheets that review the metrics and technological benchmarks necessary to create a Scalar page along with line-by-line feedback with the annotation platform Hypothes.is that assess the content and development of the content.
