Developing and Applying Rubrics for Comprehensive Capstone Project Assessment

F. TIO, J. Kong, R. Lim, E. Teo (2014).  Developing and Applying Rubrics for Comprehensive Capstone Project Assessment. 12.

The capstone project in the Diploma in Multimedia and Infocomm Technology trains students to put their technical and soft skills into practice, through developing and presentation of their applications and solutions. This paper presents the design and implementation of a suite of comprehensive rubrics-based assessments for all aspects of the capstone project. This suite includes assessments of components including presentations, project documentation and the technical evaluations of the applications and solutions. While it is common to assess projects using formal scoring guides and rubrics, the varied nature of the projects and the personalised nature of the supervision methods used presents differing operational considerations of applying such rubrics in assessments. This paper also shares on the pre-implementation preparation, implementation planning and experiences, supporting IT application and tools, rubrics’ evolvement as well as feedback from faculty and students. This paper also shares on the consideration and evaluation for cross disciplinary adoption which is currently on-going.
