A research project to assess the impact of electronic portfolios on student learning, motivation and engagement in high schools

We'll want to switch to eportfolio assessment, because we'll want to use this new thing.

electronic portfolios

"E-portfolios are becoming increasingly popular in the vocational education and training (VET) sector as a tool to collate and demonstrate evidence of skills and achievements and assist in the RPL (recognition of prior learning) process. However, e-portfolios contain a significant amount of personal information about learners which needs to be managed well. "

"The e-Portfolio seems like a great way to track the development of a teaching philosophy over the course of a year and after. I am excited to create my own portfolio over the course of my student teaching next year. "

"Why should students or teachers get excited about something that they do not appreciate? As long as an e-Portfolio is held up as an electronic CV or as a storage system for assessment of coursework no one is going to get inspired. As long as publications still suggest that an e-Portfolio can be held on a CD or flash drive we are still thinking 'old technologies'."

"The purpose of this PDF is to help schools looking at adopting Web Based Portfolios (WBP) as a form of assessment with students over a period of time. By adopting a web-based platform as a container in which to house portfolio content, schools give students a web-based vehicle with endless possibilities to create, collaborate and communicate their learning to the world."

"I'm convinced ALL our states and schools need to implement ePortfolio systems for student assessment, to include (among other standards) the ways students as well as teachers are meeting the ISTE NETs. Without creation, there is no creativity."
