Leadership and Social Change: A Capstone ePortfolio PerspectiveEric Kaufman
AAC&U conference presentation: Capstone courses have proven to be a valuable experience in leadership education as well as a valuable tool for programmatic assessment. Within the capstone course, ePortfolios are an excellent tool to collect evidence, reflect on coursework, and apply formal class concepts to nonformal experiences. This session highlights the frame-work for a capstone course and ePortfolio requirement for Virginia Tech’s undergraduate minor in Leadership and Social Change. Results include anecdotal evidence of student learning within the academic minor and include direct attention to the capstone course objectives.
