AACU, February, 2012

We are just back from a great time in New Orleans learning more about General Education and Assessment: New Contexts, New Cultures February 23-25, 2012 where we presented:

The Promise of e-Portfolios: Creating a New Culture of Assessment
Workshop co-facilitators will share strategies for starting and sustaining an undergraduate e-portfolio program that collects evidence of student learning. Given the chronically poor outcomes of many of today’s college students, e-portfolios can operate as a high-impact practice providing students and educators with a tool to improve academic success both within and across two-and four-year institutions. Co-facilitators and participants will discuss key steps to mapping student work to learning outcomes at course, program, and institutional levels.
