Assessment criteria for digital storytelling
In common with other forms of assessment, any assessment which uses digital storytelling must be aligned with the associated learning outcomes. This Section introduces some background models and frameworks that can help inform the assessment, and also provides some examples.
Sanders (2009: 18) identifies three main approaches **to what?** with supporting models and frameworks for assessing digital stories where used for reflection:
- The storytelling approach: based on the beginining, middle and end sequence of a typical story this will be focused on a particular event or experience. Sanders (2009:18) links McDrury & Alterio's Model of Reflective Storytelling (McDrury & Alterio, 2003) with this approach:
- Story Finding
- Story Telling
- Story Expanding
- Story Processing
- Story Reconstructing
- The "levels of reflection" approach: based on different levels or depths of reflection this approach draws upon Moon's Model of Reflective Learning (Moon, 1999):
- Noticing
- Making sense
- Meaning making
- Working with meaning
- Transformative learning
- The use of multimedia in reflective learning: Sanders (2009: 19) draws upon assessment rubrics available from http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
