Overview
Electronic portfolios enable the collection of, reflection on, and presentation of any type of digital file. As such, they can serve as a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning, providing authentic evidence of achievement for assessment purposes, and supporting advising and job search activities.
Join us for the Electronic Portfolios: Enhancing Teaching, Learning and Assessment web conference to explore why and how a variety of institutions are implementing ePortfolios and examine specific benefits being realized and challenges being faced by each institution. Specifics on the process of selecting and deploying an ePortfolio system on your campus will also be covered.

A Team Effort
Successfully implementing ePortfolios requires a commitment to rethinking issues of teaching and learning in the classroom, programmatic and institutional assessment, and student support services. To be successful, administrators, faculty, and staff across the institution must be involved in this process.
