Criterion A: Finding and Understanding (Research)

 * **Level** || **Descriptor** ||
 * **0** || The work does not meet the standard described in level 1. ||
 * **1-3** || Some information has been accessed and is shown in a list of resources that may or may not be cited correctly. ||
 * **4-7** || A variety of information from appropriate sources has been accessed and organized. There is a list of resources that is mostly cited correctly, some of which are referred to on the web page. ||
 * **8-10** || A variety of information from appropriate sources has been accessed and relevant material has been carefully selected. There is a list of correctly cited resources all or most of which are referred to on the web page. ||

Criterion B: Analyzing and Evaluating (Content)
The language used communicates clearly and precisely. Terminology is used accurately, with skill and understanding, and use of non-explained jargon is avoided. || The page is introduced and the context of the project is clearly described. The introduction explains the significance of the topic and gives an overview of the content of the web page. || The concepts(concepts, together with developments and trends) relevant to the topic has been described and explained with the support of appropriate examples. || Current news and issues relevant to the chosen topic have been listed, discussed and analyzed. || There is discussion and suggestions, with supporting explanations, with regard to 'what the future will look like' in relation to the chosen areas of impact. ||
 * **Level** || **Descriptor (for maximum marks)** ||
 * **0-2** || **Language used**
 * **0-2** || **Introduction**
 * **0-2** || **Concepts**
 * **0-2** || **Current News and Issues**
 * **0-2** || **What the Future Will Look Like**

Criterion C: Communicating and Using Web 2.0 Tools (Organization and Presentation)

 * **Level** || **Descriptor (for maximum marks)** ||
 * **0** || The work does not meet the standard described in level 1-2. ||
 * **1-2** || The information on the web page is poorly organized and has limited visual appeal. Graphics are sometimes relevant to the topic. There is limited use of Web 2.0 tools, hyperlinks and other hypermedia. The presentation of information is not always balanced and may show some bias and insensitivity in the use of images and icons. ||
 * **3-4** || The information on the web page is organized so that it is relatively easy to understand and has some visual appeal. Graphics are generally relevant to the topic and support the written text. Web 2.0 tools, hyperlinks and other hypermedia are used effectively. The presentation of information is mostly objective and free of bias, and some sensitivity has been shown in the use of images and icons. ||
 * **5** || The information on the web page is effectively organized so that it is easily understood and is visually appealing. Graphics are relevant, explained and support the written text. A range of Web 2.0 tools are used effectively. Hyperlinks and other hypermedia aid understanding and add interest to the topic. The presentation of information is objective, balanced and free of bias (e.g. age, culture, gender, race), and images and icons are used sensitively. ||

=Multimedia/Video=

Student work will be assessed against two criteria related to the objectives of the Project.

**Objectives**

 * 1) To **create** a personal multimedia artifact that communicates with a general audience and is based on the chosen trend.
 * 2) To actively **share** original content about the trends being **analyzed**.


 * **Criteria** || **Description** || **Marks** ||
 * D || Design and Technical Quality || 4 ||
 * E || Synthesis and Construction of Ideas || 6 ||
 * || TOTAL || 10 ||

Criterion D: Design and Technical Quality

 * **Level** || **Descriptor (for maximum marks)** ||
 * **0** || The work does not meet the standard described in level 1-2. ||
 * **1-2** || The design and technical quality of the artifact is adequate. Limited use is made of multimedia tools to express ideas. An appropriate balance is generally achieved between music/sound and voice. Some images, video clips and other multimedia have been edited to imprive the impact of the artifact. Special effects and transitions enhance the final message to a limited extent. ||
 * **3-4** || The design and technical quality of the artifact is very good. Multimedia tools are used effectively to express ideas. The narration is clear with no distortion of sound. An appropriate balance between music/sound and voice is achieved at all times. All images, video clips and other multimedia have been effectively edited to improve the impact of the artifact. Special effects and transitions are used appropriately to enhance the final message. ||

Criterion E: Synthesis and Construction of Ideas

 * **Level** || **Descriptor (for maximum marks)** ||
 * **0** || The work does not meet the standard described in level 1-2. ||
 * **1-2** || Video Content is constructed from a superficial synthesis of information on the web page. There is an introduction and some attempt to structure topics. The theme and the topic and associated trends in relation to the areas of impact are partially addressed. There is little evidence of collaboration. Credit to people and sources of information are either missing or incomplete. ||
 * **3-4** || Content is constructed from a synthesis of information on the wiki page. There is an introduction and a reasonably well structured progression of topics. The artifact largely addresses the topic and associated trends in relation to the areas of impact. Collaboration is evident from the inclusion of content from more than one country/class. Some credit is given to people and sources of information. ||
 * **5-6** || Content is constructed from a systematic synthesis of information on the wiki page. There is a well-written introduction and an effectively structured progression of topics. The artifact successfully addresses the theme of and exposes the topic and associated trends in relation to the areas of impact. Collaboration is evident. Full and correct credit is given to all people and sources of information. ||

=Engagement, Reflection and Evaluation=

Student work will be assessed against three criteria related to the objectives of the Project.

**Objectives**

 * 1) To **collaborate** and **interact** with students and classrooms around the world on the choosen theme.
 * 2) To involve students in higher-order learning and using higher-order thinking skills that include **organisation**, **peer review** and **reflection** activities as well as **synthesis** of ideas, **analysis** and evaluation of trends, **creation** of web pages and multimedia products.
