Evidence of teaching performance is often sought for purposes of hiring, promotion and tenure. Teaching portfolios are the accepted method for documenting evidence of achievement in teaching. This project supported the creation of teaching portfolios by UBC instructors. Parts of the teaching portfolio can form the ‘teaching’ component of an individual’s curriculum vitae. The teaching portfolio creation, development and storage process is being significantly enhanced and improved through the use of e-portfolios. The process of developing these electronic teaching portfolios is also contributing to good teaching by encouraging self-reflection, and by stimulating self-analysis and self-development.
