Abstract

The implementation of electronic portfolios at both the program and college level have proven effective in reporting assessment outcomes. Evidence of learning outcomes is demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative analysis with two types of portfolios, Career (University Life) Portfolios as well as Standards-Based Portfolios. These portfolios organize student products by proficiencies or standards, track progress and aggregate data for interpretation and presentation to accrediting bodies. A research study was designed to understand the impact of portfolios on student learning and gauge whether or not Career Portfolios compliment or complicate the development of a Standards-Based Portfolio. The research provides evidence that electronic portfolios for both assessment and support of ongoing learning are complementary activities in higher education. Recommendations assist colleges to develop portfolios that are reflective and encourage students to engage in the portfolio process.
