[grading digital storytelling]
For ages now I've been on the hunt for some rubrics geared towards grading digital stories...I mean, how do we mark for both narrative (and all the aspects including point of view, plot, character, language etc...) AND the digital medium (images used, html, sound, user-interaction etc...). Bryan Alexander has been keeping track of web 2.0 storytelling and education and he also wonders whether there are any rubrics out there tackling both the medium and the content. I've found Meg Ormiston's rubrics at tech teachers and another rubric at the bottom of the "Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling" page. The latter is based on rubrics found here, Dr. Helen Barrett's work and Scott County, Kentucky Schools.
Does anyone know of any more?

Have you looked at http://its.ksbe.edu/dst/?
Jess, as Chris says on the "Integrating Digital Storytelling in Your Classroom" site they have an excellent "Digital Storytelling Rubric." http://its.ksbe.edu/dst/PDFs/Rubrics/digstorysample.pdf
Thanks Chris and Barb. I'll def. take a look.
There is a multimedia rubric at North Carolina State University's Midlink Magazine. http://www.ncsu.edu/midlink/rub.senst.htm
Bernajean Porter has a book called Evaluating Digital Products.
There's also a good collection of information on grading at the DigiTales website (http://www.digitales.us/evaluating/index.php)
They have information on informal and formal evaluating.
Gail Matthews-DeNatale's resource booklet from her recent ELI conference presentation has a sample rubric (heavily influenced by Meg's work by the looks of it). In fact all these rubrics draw heavily on the CDS framework Joe Lambert developed.
Barbara Ganley also discussed Assessing Multimedia Composition (or Digital Stories) on her blog a couple of years ago. She links to a couple of rubrics towards the end of the posting.
Glad you found my rubrics for digital storytelling. I hope they help in assessment! My second book is on Digital Storytelling, I am a little passionate about the topic! Good luck with your stuidies. "Harvest" anything you would like on my site!
My Google Alerts pointed me to you post!

Thanks for those tips Cindi, anon and StephenH.
Stephen - the link to Gail's resource book is very helpful. I've just looked at her rubric and see she shows how she grades the audio and the images along with other more *traditional* areas like audience and purpose.
I'm wondering how we grade for user interaction...some multimodal works (especially those that live online) require readers (and markers) to click or drag etc...what effect does interaction have on the finished piece and are there ways to mark different levels of interaction?
Thanks Meg! Do you have a link to your new book or a sample excerpt you can share with us?
