What is a Learning Portfolio “The Learning Portfolio is a flexible, evidence-based tool that engages students in a process of continuous reflection and collaborative analysis of learning. As written text, electronic display or other creative project, the portfolio captures the scope, richness, and relevance of students’ learning. The portfolio focuses on purposefully and collaboratively selected reflections and evidence for both improvement and assessment of student’s learning” - John Zubizarreta Thursday, October 14, 2010

Electronic Portfolios (E-Portfolios) • Purposeful collection of student work that exhibits student effort, progress, and achievement of competency(ies) • Through a course or over time • The portfolio includes • An established purpose • Criteria for selection and assessment • Evidence of work • Student reﬂections • In the end, the portfolio provides a richer picture of student performance Thursday, October 14, 2010

Thursday, October 14, 2010

Impact & Implications of Practice • Functionality, appearance and assessment carry equal weight • Students question beneﬁts and uses • Value is demonstrated through frequent, thoughtful and creative use • Multiple e-portfolio systems within one university is a continuing challenge Thursday, October 14, 2010

Propositions on E-Portfolio Assessment & Evaluation • For meaningful assessment, interaction of pieces of evidence within an e- portfolio is more important than single pieces of evidence • Reﬂection on pieces of evidence within an e-portfolio (and on the e-portfolio as a whole) provides information for assessment that does not pull apart from other means • E-portfolios enable meaningful comparison of student learning across institutions without standardization • The material practice of e-portfolio composition generates distinctive knowledge about learning Thursday, October 14, 2010
