Webinar Overview
Electronic portfolios,
or ePortfolios, are not a new idea. They have long been used to share
work and professional history. Recently however, educational
institutions have picked up the technology as an effective and
engaging way to assess students. ePortfolios are also being used to
engage students more deeply in learning by encouraging reflection.
In this webinar, participants will learn about the varied uses of
ePortfolios and suggested practices in the classroom. Resources to
support use of ePortfolios to improve teaching, learning, and
assessment will also be made available.
