AAEEBL 2013
Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning, Boston
About AAEEBL • Threads coming together:
• Engaged Learning – our theme this year • High-Impact Educational Practices • ePortfolio community – learning centered • Demands of the economy; expectations of employers
• ePortfolio provides means for transformation at all levels of education
• U.S.: now, over half of U. S. higher education students have used an eportfolio at least once in their college years. Higher percentage in other countries
• AAEEBL = global eportfolio establishment. • 120 Colleges and Universities; 17 Corporate Sponsors
11/28/2013 http://www.aaeebl.org 22
Developments • Formal acceptance in parts of U. S. higher education of
eportfolio as basis for assessment. “Competency-Based” • Paper resume dead; Online resume expected; add links
to online resume and you’ve got an “eportfolio.” • New business models with eportfolios:
• LMS companies seeing eportfolio as competitive advantage • Link between employers and students while in college through free
eportfolios • Global web hosting companies see eportfolios as competitive
advantage • Selling eportfolio accounts to individuals • Specialization of eportfolio products for certain fields
11/28/2013 http://www.aaeebl.org 23
Challenges • How to “train” assessors for assessment of eportfolio
evidence? • How to educate learners in creating good evidence and
curating that evidence over time? • How to move from credits, test, grades to “authentic
assessment”? -- Institutional challenge • How to maintain eportfolio over decades? – individual
challenge

Documenting Learning with ePortfolios
Folio Thinking: Reflection for Learning
•Reflection is what makes us learners; we need to practice, assess and perfect it.
•Four criteria characterize the concept of reflection: ▫ Reflection is a meaning making process ▫ Reflection is systematic, rigorous and disciplined; with
roots in scientific inquiry ▫ Reflection needs to happen in community ▫ Reflection requires attitudes that value personal and
intellectual growth From: Carol Rodgers, “Defining Reflection: Another Look at John Dewey and Reflective
Thinking,” Teachers College Record, 104, 4 (June 2002): 842-866

Pre-Engage
Engage Re-Engage
Asynchronous Online: Student “does his/her homework” and prepares for advising session by posting reflections on an ePortfolio based on prompts from the
advising syllabus
Face-to-Face Advising Session: Student is engaged through deeper and more
meaningful interaction by discussing reflections, clarifying goals, and reviewing artifacts and evidence of growth from the
ePortfolio. “Help me, help you”
Asynchronous Online: Student is able to capture, archive,
reflect and review important documents, forms, and academic plans in the
ePortfolio. “Show me you have done something and thought
about it”

AAEEBL 2013 in Boston “It Takes More than a Major”
• 2013 survey of 318 employers for AAC&U (The Association of American Colleges & Universities) – Findings:
• 93%: candidate’s demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than their undergraduate major
• >75%: 5 key learning outcomes: critical thinking, complex problem-solving, written and oral communication, and applied knowledge in real-world settings
• >80%: an electronic portfolio would be useful to them in ensuring that job applicants have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their company or organization.
