Presentations by faculty, students and employers, followed by audience group discussions. This session focuses on the following main overarching questions: 1) What might institutional learning cultures (academic, universities, colleges) learn from e-portfolio cultures (professional careers, visual arts, performing arts) regarding approaches to assessment? and, 2) What are best practices for creating ‘folio cultures’ for the future of education? We will discuss ways in which e-portfolios can be used in courses or programs as a tool for assessment. What are the incentives, benefits and challenges for faculty, students and programs to use e-portfolios or personal web spaces? and, What can we do to get more value from these digital tools?
Presenters: Fred Cutler (Associate Professor, Department of Political Science and Director, Arts Instructional Support and Information Technology), Meghan Aubé (Director, Academic Services, UBC Extended Learning), Meike Wernicke (Lecturer, Language and Literacy Education, Faculty of Education) & Yvonne Dawydiak (Instructional Specialist, Faculty of Education), and Tracy Penny Light (Associate Professor of History and former Executive Director of the Center for Student Engagement and Learning Innovation, Thompson Rivers University)
