Eportfolios in Education

From Times Higher Education, Sept. 2015

Universities are switching to a new form of admissions, how do we prepare our students for the shift?

Current research on eportfolios:

Times Higher Education: Leading universities to change student application process

Tech Crunch, Dec. 2015: The New Digital Stars of Higher Education

“…the days of viewing ePortfolios as peripheral rather than central are dead.”

Please answer the following questions:

What do you think should be the main purpose- for middle school students– of an eportfolio?

Place one dot on the sheet that best represents your thoughts.

  1. Reflection
  2. Showcase
  3. Assessment
