Download or read book Electronic Portfolios 2 0 written by Darren Cambridge and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Use of the Electronic Portfolio in Evaluating and Assessing the Efficacy of Graduate Project Management Education written by Tracey M. Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and universities are under pressure from a variety of stakeholders to demonstrate evidence-based, authentic assessment results. The purpose of this case study was to describe one private university's Master of Science in Project Management (MSPM) degree program's use of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) capstone project as a programmatic assessment instrument. The ePortfolio provided a multidimensional assessment tool, showcasing mastery of the National Project Management Standards and Practices through evidence (artifacts) collected during the coursework. Trends identified during the annual review revealed a disparity of program outcome achievements for students in the online program compared with students in the traditional classroom format. These trends were later labeled dependencies. As evidenced by the ePortfolios, the student's success in the program was too dependent on the delivery mode, campus location, and the professor teaching the class. The dependencies were analyzed and intervention strategies implemented to reduce the effect of the dependency. A master ground-template (electronic course shell) was created for each of the six project management core courses and the capstone course for use in the traditional classroom format. The ground-template serves as a mechanism to provide consistent information to the professors and students, regardless of location. Through the collaborative inputs from content and design experts, the focus of the ground-template is providing a content-rich resource for the professor. This approach provides a platform for consistency of a curriculum, regardless of delivery mode, campus location, or professor.

Download or read book ePortfolio as Curriculum written by Kathleen Blake Yancey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a moment when the ePortfolio has been recognized as a high impact practice – as a unique site for hosting student integrative learning and as a powerful genre for assessment – this book provides faculty, staff, and administrators with a set of frameworks and models useful for guiding students in designing and creating ePortfolios that clearly communicate their purpose and effectively use the affordances of the medium.In short, this book both illustrates and provides guidance on how to support the development of students’ ePortfolio literacy. The ePortfolio curricular models provided in ePortfolio as Curriculum include both those integrated within existing disciplinary courses and those offered through credit-bearing stand-alone courses.In taking up questions focused on what students need to know and do in becoming informed, effective ePortfolio makers, the contributors to this volume – from the standpoint of their course outcomes and institutional contexts – present various approaches to developing an ePortfolio curriculum. Individually and collectively, the chapters explain ways to engage students in understanding the potential purposes, structures, audiences, and designs of ePortfolios; in developing the reflective practices for contextualizing and informing the selection and curation of artifacts; and in creating appropriate focus and coherence.Synthesizing insights from the previous chapters, the concluding chapter identifies six consistent features of an ePortfolio curriculum that support the development of students' ePortfolio literacy. In addition, Kathleen Blake Yancey identifies and defines seven common ePortfolio curricular dimensions that contribute to students' ePortfolio literacy, among them student agency, digital identity, and campus and global citizenship. Not least, she describes new practices emerging from ePortfolio curricula, including new ePortfolio-specific genres; new metaphors used to characterize ePortfolios and their practices; and new issues that the ePortfolio curriculum raises.

Download or read book Leveraging the ePortfolio for Integrative Learning written by Candyce Reynolds and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit of the authors’ more than 15 years of using and writing about ePortfolios in general education and disciplinary programs and courses, this book is a comprehensive and practical guide to the use of the ePortfolio as a pedagogy that facilitates the integrative learning that is a central goal of higher education.Faculty and administrators of programs using ePortfolios can use this guide to help their students work individually on an ePortfolio or as part of a class or program requirement. Readers will discover through examples of student portfolios and targeted exercises how to assist students in making their learning visible to themselves, their peers, their instructors and their future employersWhile interest in ePortfolios has exploded—because they provide an easier and more comprehensive ways to assess student learning than traditional portfolios, and because they have the potential to transformatively develop students’ ability to connect and apply their knowledge—faculty and administrators all too often are disappointed by the lackluster ePortfolios that students submit. Reynolds and Patton demonstrate how systematically embedding practices in the classroom that engage students in integrative learning practices dramatically improves outcomes. The authors describe easy to use and practical strategies for faculty to incorporate integrative ePortfolios in their courses and curricula, and create the scaffolding to develop students’ skills and metacognition.The book opens by outlining the underlying learning theory and the key concepts of integrative learning and by describing the purpose, structure and implementation of ePortfolios. Subsequent sections cover classroom practices and assignments to help students understand themselves as learners; make connections between course content, their personal lives, and to the curriculum; bridge theory to practice; and consider issues of audience and communication and presentation in developing their portfolios. The book goes on to cover technological issues and assessment, with a particular emphasis on the use of rubrics; and concludes with explicated examples of ePortfolios created in a first-year program, ePortfolios created by graduating students, career-oriented ePortfolios, and lifelong ePortfolios.For both experienced faculty and administrators, and readers just beginning to use ePortfolios, this book provides a framework and guidance to implement them to their fullest potential.
Download or read book An Application of Digital Portfolio with the Peer Self and Instructor Assessments in Art Education written by Ayhan Dikici and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem Statement: In art education, one of the most difficult tasks is to evaluate the artistic works of students. Portfolio assessment is a method of assessment that is commonly used in artistic education. The major research question investigated in the study is: "What are the advantages and disadvantages of digital portfolio in an art classroom?" Purpose of the Study: The first aim of this study is to investigate digital portfolio assessment in higher art education with the combination of self, peer and instructor ratings. The second aim is to determine opinions and perspectives of the students on the self and on peer and instructor assessment. Research Method: This research contains data collected from 34 students. The students were 14 males and 20 females. Age levels of the students ranged from 21 to 28. The students were asked to prepare their portfolio in the computer environment. The students were given 4 weeks to prepare the digital portfolios. The digital portfolios were evaluated as to the rubric which was previously prepared and adopted by the students and researcher. The students first evaluated their own portfolios and then those of their peers. Finally, the researcher evaluated all of the portfolios. Results and Discussion: Regarding the evaluation of the results, the lowest correlation values were found between the instructor and the peer, and the highest correlation values were found between self and the peer. In the interviews with the students, the students judged the peer assessment to be less trustworthy than instructor assessment. The hesitation of the students about self assessment and the peer assessment might be caused by Turkish culture, because an instructor as a superior authority figure is always considered the most trustworthy person by the Turkish students. Recommendations: In terms of educational applications, digital portfolio as an assessment tool should be improved and widely applied in classroom settings where the subjects especially deal with artistic art works. In art teacher training programs, the importance of triadic assessment should be seriously taken into account. This would be vitally important to teach how viable criteria can be set up for the assessments.
Download or read book High Impact ePortfolio Practice written by Bret Eynon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in association with At a moment when over half of US colleges are employing ePortfolios, the time is ripe to develop their full potential to advance integrative learning and broad institutional change. The authors outline how to deploy the ePortfolio as a high-impact practice and describe widely-applicable models of effective ePortfolio pedagogy and implementation that demonstrably improve student learning across multiple settings.Drawing on the campus ePortfolio projects developed by a constellation of institutions that participated in the Connect to Learning network, Eynon and Gambino present a wealth of data and revealing case studies. Their broad-based evidence demonstrates that, implemented with a purposeful framework, ePortfolios correlate strongly with increased retention and graduation rates, broadened student engagement in deep learning processes, and advanced faculty and institutional learning. The core of the book presents a comprehensive research-based framework, along with practical examples and strategies for implementation, and identifies the key considerations that need to be addressed in the areas of Pedagogy, Professional Development, Outcomes Assessment, Technology and Scaling Up. The authors identify how the ePortfolio experience enhances other high-impact practices (HIPs) by creating unique opportunities for connection and synthesis across courses, semesters and co-curricular experiences. Using ePortfolio to integrate learning across multiple HIPs enables students reflect and construct a cohesive signature learning experience.This is an invaluable resource for classroom faculty and educational leaders interested in transformative education for 21st century learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European project “An INTegral Teacher Training for Developing Digital and Communicative Competences and Subject Content Learning at Schools” intends to improve subject content learning, communicative and digital competences in an integrated way to train future Primary and Secondary School teachers. The project partners are experts in ICT, Science, Humanities, Language and Applied Linguistics, and are Professors and Senior Lecturers in six Universities: Alcalá (Spain), Coordinator of the project, Helsinki (Finland), Lisbon (Portugal), Comenius University of Bratislava (Slovakia), Leicester (United Kingdom) and Trabzon (Turkey). The project members believe that ICT can transform teaching and learning. Consequently, the project will incorporate every digital resource available to produce didactic materials: web pages, blogs, e-portfolio, wiki, face book, videoconference, etc., either to look for authentic materials to build up the project materials, as well as for implementing the designed materials during lessons. This does not imply that every project partner may use every available tool, for instance, the University of Alcalá is working with blogs and e-portfolio, and in this paper we will try to explain the advantages of using e-portfolio in training future teachers as e-portfolios can be a tool to increase active learning, reflection, analyze and report, get feedback, store information, and foster self-assessment. E-portfolio has been introduced in the materials designed by Alcalá with the aim of providing student teachers and pupils with a digital tool used for self-assessment giving them the opportunity to follow their personal and professional development in the case of student teachers, and in the case of school pupils, the e-portfolio gives them the chance of evaluating their progress in the process of learning. The paper will also deal with the main outcomes of the project, and examples of e-portfolios are included.
