The Portfolio Community of Practice



eportfolio conference!




La Guardia Community College is hosting a national conference, “Making Connections: eportfolios, intergrative learning and assessment” on April 10-12, 2008.

From the conference website:

LaGuardia has emerged an ePortfolio leader, with a large and successful ePortfolio initiative that helps students to engage more deeply with their learning. While many colleges are piloting ePortfolio, LaGuardia has achieved broad implementation. Working with thousands of poor, immigrant, and minority students, LaGuardia’s data shows improved learning outcomes, from writing and critical thinking to pass rates and retention.

The Making Connections conference will provide opportunities to hear from the students and faculty who are pioneering this new educational media. Addressing issues of teaching, learning, and assessment, as well as ways to link ePortfolio to the new possibilities of Web 2.0, the conference will combine voices of the LaGuardia experience with presentations from international leaders in the field, such as Helen Barrett and Trent Batson. Presentations will spotlight ePortfolio projects from schools ranging from Portland State University, the University of Michigan, and Virginia Tech to the University of Westminster in London and Kapi’olani Community College in Honolulu.
