I, too, am excited about this session: I second the assessment issue; the other day, I told a colleague that I needed to create a rubric for digital writing assignments, and she told me to just use my traditional one. I’m sure she was trying to be supportive, but I felt like she was missing the point…I’m happy to know I’m not alone.

I also would like to discuss digital writing assignments and how to assess them. I’m an art historian and I’m hoping to find more ideas for assignments that allow students to combine writing with images in fruitful ways, and to find technologies that enable interactive commentary on their work.

This looks like an interesting session. I’d like to share ideas about digital writing assignments, too. I’m wondering whether you include these in other traditional writing courses. My rationale is that contemporary students need to practice writing in digital spaces in their first-year experience. What’s your take on this notion?
