ITC Audioconference: Use of Electronic Portfolios

Student, Faculty, and Program Use of Electronic Portfolios, ITC Audioconference

MCC will host the ITC audioconference entitled "Student, Faculty, and Program use of Electronic Portfolios" scheduled for Tuesday, March 21 at 2:00 in the Board Lounge.  Presenter Tracy Wright, Practical Nursing Instructor at Northwest Technical College, will introduce the concept of electronic portfolios (e-folios). E-folio allows individuals, even those limited in their experience with electronic programs, to create Web-based educational and career repositories showcasing achievements and goals. This is a great tool for students and faculty. E-folio can also provide a method for continuously and comprehensively documenting program quality indicators. Programs may choose to highlight credentialing exam results, retention, graduation rates, placement rates, student progress, program objective mastery, program responsiveness and/or evolution. E-folio offers a mechanism for displaying student projects, experiential learning, and application of knowledge. All of these tools are integral for program evaluation, accreditation, and research. Wright will describe and provide a guided electronic tour through student, faculty, and program sites.
