Rubric: Final Project Video Presentation (Z652 – Digital Libraries)

This presentation should clearly and concisely introduce your prototype digital library, demonstrate its key features, reflect on your design process, and connect your work to course concepts.

Criteria	4 – Exceptional	3 – Good	2 – Acceptable	1 – Unacceptable
Clarity and Structure	Presentation is well-organized and easy to follow; clearly introduces the purpose, audience, and structure of the digital library.	Organization is mostly clear; minor lapses in flow or clarity.	Some disorganization or lack of clarity in structure.	Disorganized or confusing; lacks clear introduction or coherence.
Demonstration of Prototype	Effectively walks through and explains key features of the digital library (navigation, metadata, search, visualizations, etc.); shows how these serve user needs.	Demonstrates core functionality, with some omissions or limited commentary.	Basic demo of site; does not clearly explain functionality or user-centered features.	Does not demonstrate site effectively; unclear what has been built or why.
Reflection on Process and Challenges	Offers thoughtful, specific reflection on design choices, implementation process, tools used, and obstacles overcome.	Discusses process and choices with some depth; reflection may be general or uneven.	Limited discussion of process or challenges; reflection is superficial.	No meaningful reflection; skips discussion of process or challenges.
Connection to Course Concepts	Clearly articulates how the prototype aligns with digital library principles (e.g., metadata, interoperability, usability, access, preservation).	Mentions some relevant course concepts but may not fully explain how they are applied.	Vague or minimal reference to course themes.	No reference to course concepts or frameworks.
Visual and Technical Quality	Video is well-produced with appropriate visuals (screenshots, screen recording, etc.); pacing and audio are clear and professional.	Visuals and audio are generally clear; minor technical issues.	Some technical problems or poor visual/audio quality.	Distracting technical issues; difficult to follow.
Timing and Engagement	Presentation is concise (7–10 minutes), well-paced, and engaging.	Mostly within time; presentation holds interest.	Over/under time; presentation is rushed or slow.	Significantly outside time limits; lacks engagement.
