Digital Age Assessment: Learning in Web 2.0 (NECC 09)

How do we assess  students’ learning in these in Web  2.0 environments? We want to go beyond assessing the mere mechanics of using these tools; unfortunately, most current rubrics for Web 2.0 learning devote only a minuscule amount (usually 16% or less) to actual student academic learning. We want to refocus our assessments to reflect the students in-depth and comprehensive standards-based learning and the 21st Century Skills.

Change Web 2.0 assessments to assess standards-based learning and 21st Century learning!

With minor changes, the following assessments can be modified for any Web 2.0 tool.

Pre-assess your students’ Web 2.0 projects to raise the academic learning and 21st century skills.

The following are  “rubrics” that assess  standards-based learning and 21st century skills.

    Are copies of these rubrics in your formative assessment book? I cannot read what they actually say thru my web browser.

    Hi – this is a great resource, several useful rubrics in one place. Is it possible however, to have them clickable? Most of these are not viewable so it pretty much impossible to see the content. The content for the Twitter rubric is viewable, but content for other rubrics are not. Is this something you can fix?
