WHAT is an ePortfolio?
Portfolios are a way of showcasing one's work, progress, and talents.
In the context of a course, a portfolio is a collection and representation of your work productivity for this course as well as a demonstration of your progress and learning throughout the semester.
An ePortfolio - electronic portfolio - is a digital collection and representation.
Student portfolios usually include: a student’s essays, presentations, photographs, videos, artwork, and other course-related assignments with reflections on each artifact
Goals for students creating portfolios:
collect, organize, review, and reflect upon learning assignments, readings, lessons, exercises, and one's own effort and performance with a goal towards meeting the learning objects and outcomes of the course
plan, integrate and take responsibility for their personal and academic development
recognize, value, and evidence their learning and development
be more aware of how they are learning and what different teaching and learning strategies are trying to achieve
be more effective in monitoring and reviewing their own progress and using their own records and evidence of learning to demonstrate to others what they know and can do
evaluate and recognize their own strengths and weaknesses and identify ways in which perceived weaknesses might be improved and strengths enhanced
develop a vocabulary to communicate their development and achievement
Portfolios can have multiple or different purposes
To put all your course work into one place
To see all of your course work together for the purpose of linking it together and creating megacognition
To review what you have learned when preparing for an exam
To present your learning and progress by itself or as a tool in an exit interview
