There have been a growing number of articles and software applications designed to help students, faculty, and administration build resources to develop electronic portfolios. I have been so immersed in teaching duties that I have not taken the time to check them out. As the 2013-2014 academic year concludes, I have returned to my joy of reading daily . . . today I reflected on the topic of ePortfolios. Here are a few that I suggest you check out:
- Telling Your Story: Making Sense of Diverse Learning Experiences A Q&A with AAEEBL President Trent Batson By Mary Grush (April 23, 2014). Trent Batson stated " I think what's being missed is that ePortfolios stay with the student. They are literally owned by the student. A student builds his or her story on how well they understand the changes they are making as they go through college. Looking at a student's ePortfolio, we are able to see evidence of learning from semester to semester and from year to year, and having capstone requirements means that students have to make sense of what they have learned during a course, or over the last year, or over multiple years. This is what students are discovering about themselves, and the story that they can tell about themselves at the end of a year, or at the end of college."
