What is an ePortfolio?
Portfolios have been around for decades as a formal presentation
tool that offers opportunities for learning, reflection, and
assessment through the evaluation of selected artifacts. Similar to
physical portfolios, an electronic portfolio or ePortfolio is a
collection of digital artifacts assembled to demonstrate expertise,
growth, or a set of skills. Electronic portfolios enable students
and teachers to consider digital products (images, video, audio,
and hyperlinks to various websites) that were once excluded as
viable tools to demonstrate knowledge, ability, and character. As a
result of the electronic platform, ePortfolios can take the form of
a webpage, enhanced DVD, or digital file, which provides a portable
and convenient method for displaying work personally and
professionally.
What is the ePortfolio
Project?
The ePortfolio Project was initially funded in 2007 by the Making
Connections Mini-Grant. As a result of research and development
surrounding ePortfolios, the School of Education launched a pilot
project in 2008 and adopted the venture for the Undergraduate
Education Program in 2009. All undergraduate students in the
School of Education now receive accounts and have the
opportunity to start working on their Program ePortfolio. The
Program ePortfolio catalogues the products and valuable lessons
drawn from the academic and service related experiences at St.
John's. In addition, graduate and undergraduate students
enrolled in Associate Teaching Courses will also have an
opportunity to develop a Professional ePortfolio as a part of their
course work and final project.
