There is no physical assingment to turn in. The teacher can print off the assingment, but that could use a lot of paper. I think the teacher could give points for the student sending them the assingment and/or did they respond to the instructions or question correctly. Just a thought.
Some of the challenges of assesing new literacy projects would be grading fairly. It will be difficult to grade the same when some students might not have any experience where as some students have a lot of experience. Another challenge might be getting enough knowledge your self to explain it to the students and help them with questions.
One of the major challenges in assessing new literacy is making sure that you, as the teacher, know enough to teach your students adequately. If students are not given proper instruction, it is not right to grade them as if they had. Of course, teachers do not need to be experts before introducing a new literacy in their classroom.
I'm feeling this issue right now. I have to say it would be easier to read and assess paper projects, but I see the benefit of having others reflect on the responses of classmates. In a learning environment, the teacher is aware of the level of the student and should only grade after teaching content and process. We will only get better as we practice.
