An e-Portfolio is an online collection of your work that you choose to represent your skills and interests to diverse audiences. Highly customizable, e-Portfolios allow the user to assemble subsets of their work to present to instructors, potential employers, and others via login.<\/p>\n
Portfolios have shown great potential to document individual learning and growth for UBC students and faculty. Through the UBC Campus-Wide Online Environment for E-Portfolios: Deepening Community and Expanding Use we’ll study the use of e-Portfolios in order to find out more about the challenges and benefits of this human-centered approach.<\/p>\n
UBC launched a campus-wide e-Portfolio pilot project, Campus-Wide Online Environment for e-Portfolios: Community Building and Pilot Projects, in September 2003. Five projects launched in Year One of this project. They were: Agricultural Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Science, TAG, and Teacher Education. Four new pilots will launch in the fall of 2004: Enrolment Services, Interprofessional Rural Program, Learning Technology Professional Staff, and Master’s of Education. Short descriptions of each pilot and a contact are available under the e-Portfolio section of the e-Learning website.<\/a><\/p>\n The Campus-Wide Online Environment for e-Portfolios: Deepening Community and Expanding Use, Year 2 brings together academic staff, and administrative stakeholders to understand the requirements of implementing a university-wide e-Portfolio systems. The individual pilot projects and aligned work of the Community of Practice will enable the campus to investigate the spectrum of uses for e-Portfolios, from preparing to enter university through to ongoing professional practice. This project will benefit a wide variety of students, including traditional undergraduate students, non-traditional students and graduate students. Indirect benefits to UBC’s learning environment will be seen through the cultivation of more reflective teachers, practitioners, and students, and the development of a diversity of ways to conduct learner-centered practice.<\/p>\nOur Mission<\/h3>\n
