I think that article touches on a lot of the same types of assessment procedures for other (non-digital) writing projects. The author's rubric included a lot of similarities to a rubric used in writer's workshop, such as pre-writing, drafting, revision, etc. Overall, I always think it is important for students to have access to the rubric that will be used ahead of the submission of their work, whether it be digital or not. This way, students are aware of what is required of them and are less likely to be surprised by feedback on their final work. I also think that with digital projects, it is sometimes easier to see how much time a student put in to the final product. There is an overall look the the work, as well as the effort and thought-process required for the actual writing itself. As a teacher, I think you can emphasize how important the students' effort is and give examples of what you expect a final project to look like.
