Documenting Learning with e Portfolios
Documenting Learning with e Portfolios provides higher education instructors with a theory-to-practice approach to understanding the pedagogy behind e Portfolios and to helping students use them to record and reflect on their learning in multiple contexts. The authors outline a framework of six critical iterative tasks to undertake when implementing e Portfolios for student success. Filled with real-life models of successful e Portfolio projects, the book also includes guidance for faculty development to support the use of e Portfolios and covers the place of e Portfolios in institutional assessment efforts. Finally, the authors offer considerations for deciding on which technological tools to deploy in implementing a successful e Portfolio initiative.
‘These authors achieve the very rare accomplishment of combining their years of practical experience, broad conceptual and research underpinnings, and incredibly useful examples and applications into a single, concise volume for enhancing student learning through an e Portfolio approach to our shared educational purpose.’
–TERREL L. RHODES, vice president, Office of Quality, Curriculum, and Assessment, Association of American Colleges and Universities
‘Educators keep asking for more information about how to use electronic portfolios. This book provides answers, guidelines, examples, and scholarly insights about learning based in the wisdom of the e Portfolio community of practice–what a powerful addition to our collective knowledge! I am thankful to the authors for this boost to our field and for providing a blueprint for implementers to follow.’
–TRENT BATSON, executive director, The Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning
