Spent a lot of time talking about the readings this morning. I’ll let you find those readings over on the own DMAC website. Lot’s of discussion about modalities, grammars, and affordances. Especially questioning whether the vernacular always “wins” as Elizabeth Daley works. Some stuff about grading and assessment. I didn't get a chance to talk about Distributed User Centered Design and the ability to discern the value structures of groups of people for what they want to do. In my opinion, rubrics will never work for new media pieces unless they are built with the class. That value will not be the same in another context.
