UPOU ePortfolios

Over the years, electronic portfolios have been studied and used extensively by institutions of higher education for the benefits they bring on multiple fronts. An ePorftolio is a powerful tool for assessment and reflection for students and faculty alike. But unlike other assessment tools and methods that are confined within a single course, provided with an appropriate system, an ePortfolio is able to help facilitate an integrated academic program-level assessment of students. It also becomes an avenue for which content can be showcased at the individual or institutional level to the public.

As of August 2017, the Mahara system powering http://eportfolios.upou.edu.ph has been in operation for more than three years. It is currently scheduled to go in hiatus. However, this does not mean ePortfolio based projects and research will also stop. There is an on-going temporary switch to Google Sites. There is continued effort in establishing an ePortfolio culture and developing students’ ability to become reflective learners.
