Introduction To ePortfolio - PVAMU Office of International Programs

An electronic portfolio or ePortfolio is a purposeful collection of sample student work, demonstrations, and artifacts that showcase students’ learning progression, achievement, and evidence of what students can do.
The collection can include essays and papers (text-based), blog, multimedia (recording of demonstrations, interviews, presentations, etc.) and graphic.

Student learning:

Student learning has been facilitated, documented, and archived via ePortfolios.
Students may use it as a learning tool to establish their educational objectives, integrate and reinforce their learning through reflections, and highlight their accomplishments to future employers.
Students begin to take charge of their learning by reflecting on what they learned, how they learned it, and how much they learned.
Students begin to make sense of their educational experiences in various courses by choosing exemplary work and focusing on what they have learned.

Assessment:

A portfolio may be a helpful tool for organizing, sampling, and evaluating what students learned from the program in order to measure student accomplishment as a whole for program development.
The ePortfolio will be evaluated by a jury of faculty and student affairs staff to determine eligibility for the Global Awareness and Leadership Certificate.

Faculty can use student reflections in portfolios to discover how students learn in addition to what they know and can do
