Using ePortfolios as a Vehicle for Enhanced Student Engagement

During this seminar use of ePortfolios will be discussed as tools/vehicles for student engagement and enhanced learning. We will explore all AAC&U “High-Impact Practices” while focusing on ePortfolios as a way to help faculty frame, and students articulate, student learning outcomes. The seminar will give examples of how ePortfolios can be used by faculty in traditional, service/experiential based and/or study abroad curricular contexts. The seminar will also provide ideas of how student ePortfolios can be useful as tools for assessment of course/dept SLOs; recruitment and retention efforts and/or helping students articulate their personal narratives or stories. In short, we will explore the many pedagogical uses of this educative apparatus!
