ePortfolios - New Ways to Mark Achievement
ePortfolios provide students with a tool to demonstrate their learning, skills, and development over time to selected audiences. eThink Education works with your institution to select and implement an open source eportfolio solution that meets the needs of your school. This solution is integrated with your Learning Management System to leverage an interface your students and faculty are already familiar with and provides a centralized repository for all course related data.
Features
This solution extends the familiar, easy to use LMS environment to the increasingly popular area of ePortfolios. This includes the following:
For Faculty and Students:
- Flexible Input: Each item can carry its own metadata and be treated as a unique object
- Organization: Objects/artifacts can be hierarchically organized in folders
- Retrieval: Objects can be searched based on the ePortfolio owner’s specifications
- Display: Items can be grouped and permission granted to intended audience
For Administrators:
- Single Sign-on: Utilize the one username and password for both ePortfolio and your LMS
- Assessment: A tool for collecting student work and assessment data for accreditation purposes
- Archiving: A web-based solution for file storage
- Integration: A secure, scalable solution integrated into the institutions existing architecture
The implementation of the eThink Education ePortfolio package creates an ePortfolio culture at your institution - encouraging learners to include personal life experiences, awards, non-academic activities, and other character/learning revealing artifacts in their portfolio.
