"As with others that posted on this topic, our College of Education wasfirst out of the starting gate with an ePortfolio system. They beganthree or four years ago with CD-ROM based portfolios, then moved to Webpages. During the 2003-04 academic year the College of Education pilotedan ePortfolio system based on Blackboard, and while it was deemed thatthis pilot system was not ready for prime time, we learned a great dealfrom that pilot that has guided our current development efforts. We'vefocused most of our ePortfolio efforts to date on supporting the Collegeof Education's NCATE accreditation. The College of Education presentedtheir NCATE requirements well over a year ago when we began our pilotproject, but it is my perception that these requirements evolvedconsiderably since we began this process. We now have a very clear set ofreporting requirements for NCATE and the Bb CS based ePortfolio systemcurrently under development will meet those requirements by the end ofthis academic year.In addition to the College of Education, several academic programs atSeton Hall University including English and Psychology are currentlypiloting ePortfolios as a means of assessing their students' progress inachieving the learning objectives of their discipline. The University'sCore Curriculum Committee is looking to implement ePortfolios as a meansof demonstrating students' mastery of general education literacies andcompetencies, with the aim of making the ePortfolio system part of theUniversity's general education requirements beginning in Fall 2006."

We are providing an overview plan for the adoption and implementation of a comprehensive campuswide ePortfolio solution that addresses programmatic and individual assessment and reflection.

Project Planning for E-Portfolio

2005-07-11T14:51:00.000-07:00

Our group project, which includes a technology presentation on Thursday, has decided on the topic of implementation ePortfolios. Role modeling what we teach as instructional designers, it makes little sense to create this from scratch when materials for project planning are already on the Internet.

Considering educational uses of this site, it feels to me like it replicates in some way the discussions that might go on in a classroom.
