The Summer Institute at Wallenberg Hall: Using ePortfolios for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment


What: The Institute at Wallenberg Hall: Using ePortfolios for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment

Electronic learning portfolios (ePortfolios) are more than just a technology: they imply a process of planning, keeping track of, making sense of, and sharing evidence of learning and performance. Using ePortfolios well requires embracing a set of practices and an understanding of learning and reflection called Folio Thinking.

In this two day workshop, participants will have the opportunity to actively explore how ePortfolios and Folio Thinking can support integrative learning, demonstrate learning outcomes, and make teaching and learning visible. Through interactive discussions and activities addressing the issues and challenges relating to ePortfolio adoption and implementation, participants will examine a range of ePortfolio case studies and tools, and develop a plan for putting ePortfolios into practice on their own campuses.

Who Should Participate: Faculty, administrators, academic technologists, staff and researchers in higher education. Members from industry who are interested in learning more about the needs and applications of ePortfolio tools in the classroom and higher education environments.
