Let’s Dream for
• A system that simplifies grading
• A system that files and stores student
assessments
• A system that is portable
• A system that is multi-platform
• A system you can tailor to your needs
Problem
• Difficult to assess student multimedia
projects
• Students need feedback based on an
accurate project measurement
• While experience may tell you as an
instructor what a “B” presentation is, this
does not help your student improve
performance over time
Structure
• Standardize, Standardize, Standardize
• Develop your own standard project
sheets and have all projects follow that
format
• Develop a set of rubrics that are general
in nature to be used on multiple
assignments, but provide meaningful
student feedback
Solution
• Developed rubrics to assess
Content and Presentation
• Content rubric then either
• Speaker Presentation or
• Stand-alone Presentation
• Import the word rubrics into
FileMaker as a background
• Created database for student
names
• Created database for presentations
