The purpose of this study is to build an analytical rubric for Alternative Assessment for science activities in order to facilitate teachers in assessing multimedia communication skills by inculcating 21st Century Skills. The study attempts to answer a key question i.e. whether the analytical rubric for Alternative Assessment is appropriate to assess multimedia communication skills in science activities in school? The research was conducted by taking into account the advice of 11 experts in science education and five science teachers as assessors to evaluate the reliability of analytical rubric for multimedia communication skills in school. Three round Delphi technique was used to validate the analytical rubric and inter-rater reliability Intra-Class Correlation-ICC was computed to measure the reliability of the rubric. The study found that the rubric has a high validity of 82.0% and high absolute agreement for multimedia communication rubric (ICC = 0.90). Therefore the multimedia communication skill rubric can be adopted and implemented in schools. The study also found that there are a number of issues and constraints in the implementation of alternative assessment, but the construction of the rubric is a shift in assessing student outcomes that are emerging according to the global environment. However, further research on the validity and reliability of the rubric is necessary.
