| This day-long institute will address the various questions that arise for WPAs thinking about, planning, or implementing electronic portfolios. What are they? How are they similar to and different from print portfolios? What are the options for software, and how do they compare? How do eportfolios and the need to assess them affect faculty development needs and procedures? How are eportfolios assessed? Once implemented, how can digital portfolios change an institution's understanding and expectations of assessment? What role might they play in a long-term assessment plan? Not least, what are likely to be the questions around electronic portfolios in the next five years? |
