e-Portfolios @ UBC – Archive of Projects

by Kathleen Yancey, R. Roy Pearce Professor, Professional Communication, Clemson University

Electronic portfolios come in a dazzling array of sizes, shapes, colors, sounds, and purposes. In part, that’s part of their charm; they can support many good learning purposes. In part, however, that ability to be almost anything makes it difficult to talk about them. It might be useful, then, to provide a working definition of electronic portfolios, to talk about new pedagogical practices that have been associated with them, and to tease out which practices seem most promising. In this talk, that’s exactly what we’ll do.
