HASTAC recently published an interesting forum in consideration of the impact of new forms of digital media on grading and student assessment, including the skills and technologies that are changing faculty practices. This forum, “Grading 2.0: Evaluation in the Digital Age“, invites posts from the academic community; a number of interesting responses from faculty and students have already been shared. Some of the areas for this forum include e-learning related topics such as how digital media can facilitate new strategies for grading and student assessment and how to assess student work in digital media formats across disciplines.
As many as five academic programs at Duke are currently exploring whether Chalk&Wire eportfolio software can support rubric-based assessment of electronic portfolios that contain rich media elements. Other faculty have students creating blogs, web sites, videos and other new media forms across a wide range of disciplines. What elearning tools do Duke’s faculty, students and programs need to support these new approaches to learning and assessment?
