Assistant Professor of Education, PK-12 New Literacies Kathryn Caprino recently co-wrote a collaborative article about multimodal text assessment that was published in “English Education,” the journal of English Language Arts Teacher Educators.
Intended for teacher educators and teachers, Caprino’s article, “An Interconnected Framework for Assessment of Digital Multimodal Composition” provides a framework for assessing digital multimodal compositions. As the article states, this process may look different from the assessment of traditional print texts.
Caprino collaborated with authors Ewa McGrail, Kristen Hawley Turner, Amy Piotrowski, Lauren Zucker, and Mary Ellen Greenwood to write this piece.
“We wanted to give teachers ideas about how to attend to the following areas: audience, mode and meaning, and originality,” said Caprino. “I was grateful to be a part of this collaborative process, and my hope is that this piece can inspire conversations about how teachers assess digital multimodal compositions.”
