Crossing the Threshold with ePortfolios

 

Incorporating ePortfolios and Threshold Concepts requires thoughtful reflection on the best integration strategy. The worksheet below proposes a path to finding the appropriate approach to your integration of ePortfolios and Threshold Concepts. (Also available as a download: Crossing the Threshold with ePortfolios worksheet.docx

 

Your Context

Prompts to Consider

Your Plan

Identifying the Threshold

What thresholds exist in your context?  What expectations do you have as an instructor that you bring to your course?  What expectations do learners have?  What are the learning outcomes that the ePortfolio addresses?

 

Documenting Learning

How can you use the ePortfolio to document learning in your context?

 

Teaching/Learning Activities

 

Given your outcomes, what activities can you design to best guide the ways that learners use the ePortfolio to document their learning?  How can the artifacts and evidence that are captured be documented in the ePortfolio? 

 

Assessment Activities

How do the ePortfolios and their artifacts inform assessment of student learning?  In other words, what evidence results from how learners document their achievements and competencies?  How can rubrics be used to support assessment, particularly assessment of the threshold concepts?
