What do my students have to do?
"What we want to do is help learners not only be
much more aware of their own skills and
competencies as they relate to standards or a
rubric, but also to be able to reflect and write on
that.
An ePortfolio should be more of a conversation
about learning than a one-way presentation about
learning.”
Barrett, H. & Garrett, N. (2009)
How will this help with assessment?
Students will select their best artifacts that reflect that they learned the program concepts.
Through this process, the faculty can assess areas where students need more direction, or more opportunity to learn the 9 program competencies
