This edited collection offers a comprehensive examination of best practices in creating, implementing, and assessing an ePortfolio program. Contributors to the volume (ePortfolio practitioners/scholars from four continents) share triumphs and lessons learned from a first-person perspective. Designed as a go-to resource for ePortfolio novices, seasoned practitioners, and curious explorers alike, ePortfolios@edu allows readers to close the book and immediately apply whatever information they found most appropriate for their course, program, or institution. To that end, contributors embed screenshots and diagrams within their essays and addend their chapters with relevant timelines, prompts, rubrics, and other ready-for-use materials. Reflecting the emblematic interconnectedness of ePortfolio development, ePortfolios@edu complements other publications on ePortfolios by offering new perspectives and a collection of resources that will be of great value to the expanding network of ePortfolio practitioners/scholars.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
