Guiding Questions for ePortfolio Development

Guiding Questions for ePortfolio Development
These are the kind of questions that we ask faculty/programs interested in using ePortfolios:

• Describe your student ePortfolio Project [Will ePortfolios be used at the Course, Program, Dept., Campus levels? Will the ePortfolios need to be shared with other institutions? FALL, 2006 or SPRING, 2007 roll-out? Focus on one project.] How are you defining ePortfolios?]

• What are your core goals in using ePortfolios? [Formative/summative assessment, capstone/culminating, professional development, demonstrating examples of work linked to institutional goals. Will multiple faculty need to view a student site, or comment directly on ePortfolios?

• What knowledge, skills, values/reflections will you want students to share in their portfolios?

• What types of media/artifacts/evidence do you want students to use/archive to demonstrate competencies in these areas? [Signature assignments/Documents, ppt., multimedia (audio/ video), websites/links]

• What resources will you need to support student’s creating/uploading various media?

• What standards/processes for evaluation of ePortfolios will you use? (Peer review, rubrics, signature assignments, instructor comment boxes etc.)

Please share any other approaches you may have with us!
