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)

Advantages for 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)

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
