Yancey, Kathleen Blake. "Looking for Sources of Coherence in a fragmented World: Notes toward a New Assessment Design."Computers in the Composition Classroom. Eds. Michelle Sidler, Richard Morris, and Elixabeth Overman Smith. Boston: Bedford / St. Martin’s, 2008: 293-307. Print.
In this article Yancey discusses assessment of digital compositions by considering the relationships between the parts as a coherent rhetorical work. This necessitates a broader definition of composition as well as a heuristic for consideration.
I liked that she includes a list of things to consider: What arrangements are possible? Who arranges? What is the intent? What is the fit between the intent and the effect? I think these are important questions regardless of the composition and that considering them will help us to address issues of validity in all types of compositions in turn.
I thought this slideshow was relevant.
