e-Portfolio: a tool to assess University students’ skills
Abstract
Abstract
El presente artículo muestra los resultados cualitativos y cuantitativos de la experiencia piloto implementada en dos asignaturas de la Universidad Politénica de Cataluña (UPC), concretamente en la Escuela Técnica Superior Industrial y Aeronautica de Terrassa (ETSIAT). Los resultados hallados nos permiten afirmar queel ePortfoli puede servir: (1) como herramienta complementaria de evaluación; y (2) para realizar el seguimiento del desarrollo de las competencias de los alumnos, tanto genéricas como especificas, a lo largo de las titulaciones. Esta experiencia pretende ser extendible a toda la titulación de Segundo ciclo de Organización Industria, así como al resto de titulaciones que ofrece la UPC.

The present article introduces the main qualitative and quantitative results obtained in a pilot study of e-portfolio implementation in two different subjects offered in the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, UPC). In particular, such teaching innovation took place within the Technical Industrial and Aeronautics Engineering School (ETSEIAT) curricula. And our results seem to indicate that the e-Portfolio can be viewed as: 1) a complementary tool for student’s assessment and 2) a perfect follow-up device to check student’s competences development (both generic and specific) throughout their degree studies. The useful data gathered allow us to generalize our findings and therefore, consider its implementation in the second cycle of Industrial Organization (IO) Engineering as well as the rest of degrees taught at the UPC.
Keywords – student’s competences assessment, collaborative tools, e-Portfolio, Web2.0, European Higher Education Area (EHEA), teaching innovation
