I chose to self evaluate a podcast that I did for a Web 2.0 class. The rubric found at http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/podcastrubric.html contains more items than were required in my podcast. I kept many of the items but I adapted it to create the following:

Category	Exemplary 4	Proficient 3	Partly Proficient 2	Incomplete 1	POINTS
Introduction	Catchy and clever introduction. Provides relevant information and establishes a clear purpose engaging the listener immediately. Tells who is speaking and where the speaker is located.	Describes the topic and engages the audience as the introduction proceeds. Tells who is speaking and where the speaker is located.	Somewhat engaging and provides a vague purpose. Does not clearly state who is speaking and location.	Irrelevant or inappropriate topic that minimally engages the listener. Does not state who is speaking and location.
Content	Creative and original content enhance the purpose of the podcast. Vocabulary enhances content. Topic is focused. Conclusion clearly summarizes key information.	Accurate information with appropriate vocabulary. Stays on topic and conclusion summarizes information.	Some information is inaccurate or long winded. Vocabulary is adequate. Occasionally strays from topic and conclusion vaguely summarizes information.	Information is inaccurate and vocabulary is inappropriate for the audience. Does not stay on topic and there is no conclusion.
Delivery	Well rehearsed, smooth delivery. Highly effective enunciation and presenter's speech is clear and intelligible, not distant and muddled. Expression and rhythm keep the audience listening. Correct grammar is used throughout.	Rehearsed, smooth delivery. Enunciation, expression, pacing are effective throughout with correct grammar.	Appears unrehearsed with uneven delivery. Enunciation, expression, rhythm are sometimes distracting during the podcast occasionally with incorrect grammar.	Delivery is hesitant, choppy and sounds like the presenter is reading. Enunciation is distant and not clear. Expression and rhythm are distracting with poor grammar throughout.
Audio/ Music	Music enhances the mood, quality, and understanding of the presentation. Music is owned by creator, creative commons or copyright cleared.	Music provides supportive background to the podcast. Music is owned by creator, creative commons or copyright cleared.	Music provides somewhat distracting background to the podcast. Use of copyrighted works is questionable.	Music is distracting to the podcast. Copyright infringement is obvious.
Technical Production	Presentation is recorded in a quiet environment without background noise and distractions. Volume of voice and music enhance the presentation.	Presentation is recorded in a quiet environment with minimal background noise and distractions. Volume is acceptable.	Presentation is recorded in a semi-quiet environment with some background noise and distractions. Volume is occasionally inconsistent.	Presentation is recorded in a noisy environment with constant background noise and distractions. Volume changes are highly distracting.

Based on this rubric I would have given my podcast
          

Introduction	4
Content	4
Delivery	4
Audio/Music	4
Technical production	4

I think this rubric covers many areas that are necessary to a quality podcast. The key features of this rubric mention areas from creative aspects, presentation and technical aspects.
