• The Connect to Learning Project has launched a wonderful  "Catalyst for Learning" ePortfolio Research and Resource site http://c2l.mcnrc.org.
• Our SF State Metro Academies portfolio project is detailed at http://sfsu.mcnrc.org/
• To see all of the campus ePortfolios: http://c2l.mcnrc.org/partners/

Along with other high impact practices, current research from an array of the 24 campuses demonstrates that reflective ePortfolio practice correlates with higher levels of student success. Showcasing the integrative nature of student learning, ePortfolio can transform outcomes assessment.

Connect to Learning: SF State ePortfolio

SF State has been participating in a 3 year FIPSE funding Connect to Learning Project.

We'd like to share our project ePortfolio and some of the practices we are documenting.

Our SF State team has just returned from Providence, RI and the Connect to Learning Summer Institute (July 12-15, 2012.)

Savi Malik and Alycia Shada reported new inspiration about the national research and ePortfolio models that are emerging from this project. Below is a presentation from Helen Chen (Stanford)-- sharing preliminary research findings from the C2L Core Survey indicating the emerging evidence of the impact of portfolios on student engagement and learning. SF State's Metro students participated in this national survey.
