| Excellent | Chapters 1, 2, and the beginnings of 3 are comprehensive and well researched. You have shown to the reader that you understand the significance and importance of educational multimedia and how your artifact will contribute to the educational experience of your chosen target group. It is also well written with few or no grammar and spelling errors. It is also well referenced and you have used the APA style guides correctly. Chapter 1 distinctly states the purpose and rational of using multimedia or distance learning in the classroom. If appropriate, it also explains the UK's National Curriculum, including IT goals, and the NGfL. If your chosen subject has some specific and different approach to teaching and the use of multimedia (such as language instruction) this needs to be stated here. You do NOT begin to define your project. You do, HOWEVER, in the chapter state (very briefly) what your project will be about, and then refer the reader to the Concept Document located in the Appendix.
Chapter 2 is a comprehensive review of the secondary literature associated with instructional multimedia and distance learning if appropriate. You have reviewed the literature and managed to understand what is relevant without having to reference everything that you've read. This chapter is well written and it is obvious that the words are your own and that you understand what you've written. You have also properly referenced all material. Chapter 3 has been started and the reviews/competitive analysis of other educational media have been summarized and discussed. You have begun the process of explaining your artifact and how it fits in with the information/purpose stated in Chapter 1 and with the review of the secondary literature in Chapter 2. Reference page is included and the layout and style are according to the APA manual. Appendix is attached. At this point, these would include your Concept Document, Functional Specification and Node Map.

1, 2, and the beginnings of 3 are somewhat lacking in writing standards
and research. You have shown to the reader that you understand
some of the significance and importance of educational multimedia
and how your artifact will contribute to the educational experience
of your chosen target group, but you've not been as clear as you should.
You have some writing, grammar and spelling errors. You have made
some mistakes in referencing and you have not used the APA style guides
correctly.
Chapter 1 states the purpose and rational of using multimedia and or distance learning in the classroom, but it is lacking and somewhat confusing. If appropriate you have also not explained the UK's National Curriculum, including IT goals, and the NGfL so that the reader understands. If your chosen subject has some specific and different approach to teaching and the use of multimedia (such as language instruction) you have not stated it here. You also make the common error of beginning to discus your project and define the problem according to the brief. Chapter 2 is a review of the secondary literature associated with instructional multimedia. You have reviewed the literature but it's not apparent that you understand what is relevant. You are referencing everything that you've read without realizing what is relevant. This chapter has some writing problems and it is obvious that you don't really understand what you've written. You have also not properly referenced all material. Chapter 3 has been started and the reviews of other educational media may have been included, but you've included everything, not just the information that relates to your own project. You have begun the process of explaining your artifact and how it fits in with the information/purpose stated in Chapter 1 and with the review of the secondary literature in Chapter 2, but the reader is unclear how this relates to your artifact. Reference page is included but the layout and style are not completely according to the APA manual. Appendix is not necessarily attached. At this point, these should include your Concept Document and Node Map.
