Abstract
Over the last five years, educators have discovered the validity of portfolios for evaluating students in elementary and secondary settings. Another obvious trend in education is the increased use of advanced technology, particularly multimedia technology. This paper reports the results of a project undertaken to combine authentic assessment using a portfolio and multimedia technology by preservice teachers. In the first section, a brief overview of constructivist theory is presented, followed by a discussion of the relationship between constructivism and portfolio assessment. A review of current research on portfolio assessment and the use of technology are also presented. The second section presents the results of a project undertaken at Florida Atlantic University to implement multimedia portfolios for preservice teachers. This section provides a description of the process that preservice teachers follow in developing a multimedia portfolio and describes the hardware and software used in the development of this project. Information about the state-of-the-art multimedia technology used to capture student work for the portfolio is also provided. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the challenges faced in developing the portfolios and gives an update on the projects current status and future directions.
