ePortfolio
An ePortfolio is a systematic and organized collection of student work that documents a student’s efforts, progress or achievement of an intended outcome. Like a written test, ePortfolios are a form of assessment that seeks to measure a student’s skills or knowledge in a subject area.
As part of their studies at Cascadia, students will plan and develop an electronic, web-based ePortfolio from selected coursework to demonstrate and showcase their learning.
The Student ePortfolio will be used as an assessment tool and will provide an opportunity to showcase academic work, technical expertise, employment history and personal interests to prospective employers and educational institutions. The ePortfolio will allow students to document personal educational development, and learn and practice technical skills.
Students are first introduced to the ePortfolio in the COLL101 (College Strategies), COLL100 (Study Strategies), or BIT105 (Careers in Information Technology) classes during their first year at Cascadia. During this quarter students begin to create their ePortfolio and are expected to keep adding projects to their ePortfolio throughout their time at Cascadia.
Content includes: profile information (resume, committees, affiliations, personal interests, interview), affirmations, background, educational goals, and career goals. Students will include a list of the courses they have taken at Cascadia, add links to projects, accomplishments, and skills for each class and include reflections on these projects and how they relate to Cascadia’s Learning Outcomes.
