“Assessment defines what students regard as important, how they spend their time and
how they come to see themselves as students and then as graduates……
If you want to change student learning then change the
methods of assessment.” (Brown, G et al, 1997)

E-Portfolios are:

a specific purpose
• Artifacts are the evidence of growth over time
• Highlights of how new understandings and
learning is developed
• Works that use electronic media and services
ePortfolios
• Personal information • Education history • Recognition – awards • Reflective comments • Teacher comments • Goals, plans • Personal values and interests • Presentations, papers • Coursework – assignment, projects • Personal activities – volunteer work
Components of ePortfolios
All artifacts should have a purpose
1. Collect items for the portfolio 2. Select items best able to demonstrate
competence 3. Reflect on the items selected in order
to demonstrate learning derived from experiences
4. Connect various aspects of life – personal, learning, work, and community
Process of ePortfolio Creation
Why use ePortfolios?
"A portfolio that is truly a story of learning is OWNED by the learner,
structured by the learner, and told in the learner's own VOICE (literally
and rhetorically)." Helen C. Barrett, Ph.D.

Tips for ePortfolio Success
TIP #1 STUDENTS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE
STANDARDS
• Arrange the portfolio by standard and/or
expectations of what the student needs to know and
be able to do.
• In order to "pass" the student needs to understand
what they need to demonstrate
• Students then need to connect their artifacts to the
standards
Tips for ePortfolio Success
TIP #2 STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT
MEANS TO REFLECT
• Need to move beyond just the commentary that they
are use to through Facebook, Texting, etc.
• Consider oral reflections (video...)
• What went well? What was challenging? Most
Proud of?
• Establish a "goal" for next time
• Consider/Develop a method for achieving that goal
Tips for ePortfolio Success
TIP #3 STUDENTS NEED TO THINK ABOUT ADDITIONAL
AUDIENCES
•Beyond the teacher and the classroom grade
•Must create a portfolio worthy projects
School Culture Can Change To
Incorporate Student Work
Essential questions a school needs to ask:
• VISION: What do you want a student to know and be able
to do
• PURPOSE: How do you intend to use a student's portfolio?
• AUDIENCE: Who will be the primary viewers of the
student's portfolio?
• ASSESSMENT: How do we decide what's good?
• TECHNOLOGY: What tools will we use? Who will support
it?
• LOGISTICS: How do we build on what we already have?
• CULTURE: What else needs to change in order to
effectively implement digital portfolios?

Challenge
“Learn Today, Use Tomorrow”
With a partner, reflect on the following
questions:
1. What evidence of value is there in ePortfolios?
2. How do we ensure that technology is not the
center of the eportfolio process?
3. How do we get teachers to "buy-in"?
Now What?
What will you take back to your campus
after this session and how will it be used?
