Making it Count: Strategies for Integrating the ePortfolio

The benefits of using portfolios in the classroom are clear--increased opportunities for reflection, connecting ideas across disciplines, and building evidence of deep learning. The new General Education curriculum at Ohio State aims to provide these moments through the ePortfolio requirement, but what kinds of assignments, activities, and projects work best for these kinds of courses? How do we make these assignments both meaningful to the course itself and connect them to the students' larger learning goals? This workshop will review research on the features of strong ePortfolio learning activities and provide space for participants to edit, revise, or create new assignments that students might select for their final ePortfolio submission. 

After this workshop participants will be able to:

• describe the features of strong ePortfolio-based assignments
• identify different kinds of ePortfolio tasks appropriate for the General Education program
• plan, create, or revise learning activities that align with the goals of the ePortfolio requirement
