Presentation Transcript

  1. What is an Electronic Portfolio (ePortfolio)? • “A collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web…Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files…images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression.” (Wikipedia) • “Created by the three principal activities of collection, selection, and reflection, student portfolios can be succinctly defined as collections of work selected from a larger archive of work, upon which the student has reflected.” (Yancey, 2001)

  6. Why ePortfolios? • For students • Develop capacities for metacognition and self-directed learning • Support reflective practice • Integrate and apply learning • For faculty • Enable assessment of broader set of abilities and skills • Track development of abilities over time • Provide richer data to guide curriculum/program development and improvement • For programs and institutions • Authentic and psychometrically rigorous assessment for admissions, improvement and effectiveness, accreditation

  7. Advantagesfor Assessment “Documenting learning in this way places the focus on actual achievements that are viewed directly, rather than on proxies of achievement like cumulative GPAs or test scores that are only indirect indicators of learning. The focus is also on what students can do with their knowledge and skills and not simply on whether knowledge has been acquired.” (Huba & Freed, 2000)

  8. ePortfolios for What? • Personal development planning (University College) • Develop “civic-minded graduates” (Center for Service and Learning) • Leadership development (Student Life) • Focus on professional ethics (Dentistry) • Integrate learning (English, Visual Communication) • Document competencies for assessment and accreditation (Dentistry, Nursing, E & T, Music, Library Science) • Assessment of prior learning for credit (OLS)

  9. Implementation Issues • How will the portfolio be designed to fulfill the institution’s or department’s purposes? • How will the portfolio be integrated into program curricula? What changes will this require? • Who will read and evaluate student portfolios? When? • What are the infrastructure needs? What resources are needed? • What faculty development is needed? What skills will students need to develop?
