Bringing structure to the grading of blog posts
Every semester I struggle with the grading of my students’ blog posts. For most of my students in my Online Media class, it is the first time that they have blogged.
It takes awhile for students to adjust to online communication and how the blogosphere plays a part. I just finished grading their first two posts in my class. Based on my experience, I felt compelled to create a rubric for grading blogs in future classes. I would appreciate any suggestions. Feel free to apply it to your class. Here is the PDF of the grading rubric for blog posts.
*Hat tip to Dale Cressman for the idea.

This is a nice tool to use. Thanks for sharing. I have my students blogging for class as well. My guidelines are simple, but I think I’ll employ your rubric in the future.
Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to incorporate some of yours into mine. You can find my blogging assignment and grading criteria, used in my editing class, at http://bit.ly/4moEvp
I’m a new visitor, I’m not going to lie, but I like your site. I have a college blog which I want to be a top resource for college kids. I would like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around.
Let me know if this is possible.
