To begin thinking about ePortfolio’s, I had students engage in a ‘preliminary assumptions’ exercise of 250 words.\u00a0 For ePortfolio evaluations purposes, students were also required to participate in an online survey.\u00a0 The links were created in the Learning Management System (Connect) and due dates were for the second week of class.<\/p>\n
Background:<\/span> One of your major assignments over the course of the semester will involve examining and analyzing ePortfolios as a form, and then building an ePortfolio of your own.<\/p>\n Directions:<\/span> Write 250 word discussion in which you describe what you believe an ePortfolio\u2014an online portfolio of an individual\u2019s work\u2014should or might be. In your discussion, you should describe what you think the purpose or function of ePortfolios may be, the kinds of items they must or might contain, and their possible organization. You are not required to treat these three features of ePortfolios as if they are distinct from one another.<\/p>\n No research is required for this assignment. <\/em>Instead, your role is to think <\/em>about what you believe an ePortfolio should do or be, and describe t<\/em>his in as much detail as possible.<\/p>\n Assessment:\u00a0<\/strong> You will not be graded on your ability to accurately describe an ePortfolio (within reason), because we haven\u2019t yet discussed them in class. Rather, the dual purposes of this assignment are to determine your current conception of this type of website, and to assess your written communication skills.<\/p>\n Your assignment will be graded according to the following rubric:<\/p>\n CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT:<\/p>\n Purpose & Audience(s)<\/em> Content<\/em> Organization<\/em> WRITTEN COMMUNICATION<\/p>\n Clarity & Style<\/em> Grammer & Spelling<\/em> Note: You must complete the “ePortfolio Pre-Survey<\/a>” first as you will be provided with a password to submit your homework<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To begin thinking about ePortfolio’s, I had students engage in a ‘preliminary assumptions’ exercise of 250 words.\u00a0 For ePortfolio evaluations purposes, students were also required to participate in an online survey.\u00a0 The links were created in the Learning Management System (Connect) and due dates were for the second week of class.
