GRADING CRITERIA:
In addition to the successful completion of your assignments of each of the assignments in the digital director’s book (grading criteria for each assignment is listed in each section), your digital book will also be graded on presentation. One of the criteria of presentation will be thoughtful design approach.
If you have kept the original format, then most likely the website is fairly well designed. If you are using a new template and/or theme, be sure to consider some of the guidelines for design. Here are some helpful links to help you do so:
