What are ePortfolios? • National Learning Infrastructure Initiative definition: • A collection of authentic and diverse evidence, • Drawn from a larger archive representing what a person or organization has learned over time, • On which the person or organization has reflected, and • Designed for presentation to one or more audiences for a particular rhetorical purpose. (2003)
Portfolios are not new… For years… • Universities have used paper-based portfolios to assess student work • Share work for accreditation/program review • As a valuable tool for career connections 12
What’s changed is that… • In an ePortfolio we can collect, select, build and publish our work using electronic technology as the container.

Build Buy-In • STEP 2: Plan the roll-out & have a clear communication plan; • STEP 3: Get project manager/leader in place & team of experts (from Assessment, Academic Technology, Faculty and Administration); • Introduce students to the concept as early as possible.
