Some of you may be wondering where the rubrics are for our course projects. The simple answer: there aren't any! The longer answer is, well, looonger. In a course like Cognitive Psychology it makes lots of sense to have a rubric for the audiobook assignment since the students are beginning students and the audiobook products being created are for the same audience (first-year doctoral students).
In this class it's a wildly different situation. Each of you are making your audiobook, slideshow, and Flip video products for very different audiences. We're ranging from fourth graders to doctoral students right now. More importantly, the purpose of these assignments is to force you to experiment with three different forms of multimedia communication. A very common question from students that I hear outside of this class is: How do I decide what type of format to make my product? It's not always easy to decide. Towards that end I want each of you to have a hands-on experience with creating different products. In turn this should help increase your understanding of when or why you might want to use each of these three different formats.
The key is I want you to increase your multimedia-making experiental resevoir and to give you the opportunity to experiment with creating multimedia. Rubrics wouldn't capture the experiential-experimental focus of these assignments. At this point I only want to encourage you to give each project your best attention and care. We'll share the work and we'll discuss (at the last class) what are the trends and the implications of the various products created by students this semester.
