CPCP - Planning and Assessing Wikis/Blogs/Podcasts or Any Technology to Be Used Educationally:
When planning and assessing any technology, there are certain elements you may wish to consider – they can be abbreviated as CPCP:
• C - Content – Once people were dazzled by the bells and whistles of technology projects … and the content was overshadowed, e.g., Powerpoints with but the actual work done by the student – became less of a focus
• The content of what you want assessed should be the same for a Wiki, blog, podcast or any technology as for a paper or other activity done by students that is turned in and graded
• P - Planning
• Creating a Wiki, blog, podcast or technology project takes planning and thought so evaluation of how the student(s) plan their Wiki/blog/podcast should be assessed
• C - Collaboration
• How the students work together, how work is shared, how they make decisions, how they deal with conflict, how they become productive and use their shared time together effectively.
• P - Product/Presentation
• The final product or presentation, including how it looks or sounds, whether care was taken to make the product free of most errors
Starting with CPCP, you can customize a rubric to evaluate most any technology project.
