Introduction:

Cognitive Effectiveness

Introduction makes some reference to learner's prior knowledge and previews to some extent what the lesson is about. The Introduction builds on learner's prior knowledge by explicitly mentioning important concepts or principles, and effectively prepares the learner for the lesson by foreshadowing new concepts and principles.  

User Task:

Cognitive Level

Task requires analysis of information and/or putting together information from several sources. Task requires synthesis of multiple sources of information, and/or taking a position, and/or going beyond the data given and making a generalization or creative product.  

User Task:

Technical Requirements

Task requires use of word processing or simple presentation software. Task requires use of multimedia software and/or application software.  

Process:

Clarity

Some directions are given, but there is missing information. Students might be confused. Every step is clearly stated. Most students would know exactly where they were in the process and what to do next.  

Process:

Depth

Some separate tasks or roles assigned. More complex activities required. Lots of variety in the activities performed. Different roles and perspectives are taken.  

Resources:

Quality

Moderate number of resources used. Many resources provided, including off-line resources.  

Resources:

Quantity

Some links carry information not ordinarily found in a classroom. Links make excellent use of the Web's timeliness and colorfulness.  

Evaluation:

Clarity

Criteria for success are at least partially described. Criteria for gradations of success are clearly stated, perhaps in the form of a rubric for self-, peer-, or teacher use.  

Total Score:

Grading:

  • A score of 80 points and above is considered "Outstanding" and the project should be awarded the highest marks (A+).
  • A score of 65 to 79 is considered to be "Excellent" and the project should be given an A grade.
  • A score of 50 to 64 is an accomplished project and a B+ is recommended.
  • A score of 40 to 49 shows that the project needs more development and a B grade or lower should be given.
