Ohler (2008) describes the need for using Rubrics for assessing digital stories. He concludes that using simple, easy to use Rubric are preferable to using long complex ones ...
... but fails to show us his Rubric. He claims to keep it in a "constant state of evolution" (if it's simple, why the need?), but does not show us an example. Again, an attempt at word pictures when the real thing would have been far more effective.
My concern is the author talks a great game, but shows very little in the way of application. In fairness, the author does describe Digital Story "Evaluation Traits" which I interpret as a sort of poor mans quality yardstick. I'm not sure however how these evaluation traits would be consistently applicable to grading or evaluating student created digital stories.
