Book Description
Higher education institutions of all kinds—across the United States and around the world—have rapidly expanded the use of electronic portfolios in a broad range of applications including general education, the major, personal planning, freshman learning communities, advising, assessing, and career planning.Widespread use creates an urgent need to evaluate the implementation and impact of eportfolios. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the contributors to this book—all of whom have been engaged with the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research—have undertaken research on how eportfolios influence learning and the learning environment for students, faculty members, and institutions.This book features emergent results of studies from 20 institutions that have examined effects on student reflection, integrative learning, establishing identity, organizational learning, and designs for learning supported by technology. It also describes how institutions have responded to multiple challenges in eportfolio development, from engaging faculty to going to scale. These studies exemplify how eportfolios can spark disciplinary identity, increase retention, address accountability, improve writing, and contribute to accreditation. The chapters demonstrate the applications of eportfolios at community colleges, small private colleges, comprehensive universities, research universities, and a state system.

The Educational Potential of e-Portfolios
Author: Lorraine Stefani
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134127014
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
E-portfolios are a valuable learning and assessment tool. They can serve as an administrative tool to manage and organise work, to present course assignments and act as the medium for learners to record their learning goals, outcomes and achievements. They encourage personal reflection and involve the exchange of ideas and feedback. Using technology in this way supports students' abilities in using and exploiting technology for professional and personal purposes, enabling any time, any place learning and peer learning and facilitating the provision of tutor feedback. e-Portfolios is a comprehensive, practical guide for lecturers and staff developers who need to know more about the development of purposeful e-portfolios for supporting students in reflecting on their learning.

Integrating Study Abroad Into the Curriculum
Author: Elizabeth Brewer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781003445340
Category : Foreign study
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
With the increased interest in study abroad from government, educators, employers and students, the question is: are programs engendering the desired intercultural competencies and intellectual development? To achieve this goal, this book proposes two strategies: structuring study abroad to bridge the separation of academic learning from experiential and intercultural learning; and integrating study abroad with the undergraduate curriculum. In proposing this integration, the editors take into account the need for institutional change, and they recognize faculty's concerns about maintaining the integrity of the curriculum, teaching in areas outside their expertise, and keeping up with ever-evolving institutional missions. This book offers different theoretical perspectives on the integration of study abroad into the curriculum, as well as examples of practice from a variety of disciplines--from anthropology and religious studies, to literature, urban studies, biology, and public health--and within such contexts as distance learning, service learning, and the senior thesis.

Digital Portfolios in the Classroom
Author: Matt Renwick
Publisher: ASCD
ISBN: 1416624643
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Assessment is messy. Day-to-day, in-the-moment assessments not only reveal information that drives future instruction but also offer a comprehensive picture of students’ abilities and dispositions toward learning. As teachers, we might know what this looks and feels like, yet it can be hard to put into action—hence the messiness. Say hello to digital student portfolios—dynamic, digital collections of authentic information from different media, in many forms, and with multiple purposes. Using digital portfolios to capture student thinking and progress allows us to better see our students as readers, writers, and learners—and help students see themselves in the same way! Matt Renwick’s Digital Portfolios in the Classroom is a guide to help teachers sort through, capture, and make sense of the messiness associated with assessment. By shining a spotlight on three types of student portfolios—performance, process, and progress—and how they can be used to assess student work, Renwick helps educators navigate the maze of digital tools and implement the results to drive instruction.
