What is an ePortfolio?
  • An ePortfolio (electronic portfolio) is a
    collection of information and files/documents
    that represents a students achievements both
    inside and outside the classroom over the course
    of her college career.
  • ePortfolios consist of two parts the working
    portfolio in which the student enters information
    and reflections, and the web portfolio, which is
    the final public presentation of the students
    efforts.
  • The ePortfolio allows a student to view her
    college experience holistically, and allows her
    to tell a coherent and compelling story about her
    experiences and achievements.

The Douglass ePortfolio
  • Douglass has designed our ePortfolio around the
    concept of Educational Pathways each student
    will reflect on her experiences at Douglass under
    the umbrella of her chosen Pathway.
  • The working portfolio is created in Sakai (an
    open/community source program supported by
    Rutgers University). Students use Sakai for their
    coursework, and Douglass students will
    automatically have a tab added to their Sakai
    site for the Douglass Portfolio.
  • The final web site is presented in a
    browser-friendly format, with information drawn
    from the working portfolio.

Benefits of an ePortfolio
  • Comprehensive analysis of ones entire college
    career, including classroom work, employment,
    volunteer experiences, independent study, etc.
  • Professional end product can be used by job
    contacts, faculty mentors, academic advisors,
    graduate schools, and any other audience that
    would benefit from such a tool.
  • In addition to providing insight into one's own
    interests and growth, selections from the
    ePortfolio can be used to develop personal
    statements for job, internship, and graduate
    program applications and will strengthen each
    student's ability to depict her achievements in
    all contexts, oral or written.

Elements of the Web Portfolio
  • Home This is the first page users see. Normally
    students give general information about
    themselves or welcome the viewer(s) to the
    portfolio. This is a place for students to be
    creative and they may wish to import pictures,
    videos, or other files.
  • About Me This gives students another place to
    put general information. People often use it to
    give more specific information about their
    interests and experiences, or to add a personal
    history section to the site. This is another area
    in which students can be creative with the way in
    which they present information.
  • My Pathway Students will describe their
    Pathways in a narrative format. It is suggested
    that they indicate the focus of their Pathway and
    some coursework and experiences that are
    Pathway-related.

Elements of the Web Portfolio
  • Accomplishments This is the most robust section
    of the web portfolio, and it is drawn from the
    reflections and other entries made by the student
    in the Douglass Matrix.
  • Leadership Transcript Students enter
    information in the working portfolio reflecting
    their leadership experiences and training. This
    information is formatted in a resume-like format
    for the web portfolio.
  • Resume The resume builder is form-driven, and
    the final web portfolio is formatted both for
    screen and for printing by the end user.

Matrix A two-dimensional grid designed to
capture the learning experiences of students both
inside and outside the classroom.

Home, About Me, and Pathway Pages
  • These three pages are entered into the working
    portfolio using Sakai forms. Students can use the
    Rich Text Editor (RTE) input format to be as
    creative as they like with the content of these
    pages. They can add photos, video, audio, or
    other files.
