Electronic Portfolios


Electronic portfolios have made inroads both as a means of assessing student work for a class, and for assessing and documenting student fulfillment of a school's broader writing requirements. 

The Chronicle of Higher Education article, "Creating Online Portfolios Can Help Students See 'Big Picture,' Colleges Say," discusses the uses of electronic portfolios and provides links to a searchable database of portfolios and to sites that describe the criteria for such portfolios.

The American Association of Higher Education has a portfolio resource site.  Despite that fact that the site is pushing a book about electronic portfolios, it does link to a variety of useful resources.

Kalamazoo College, known for its work in electronic portfolios, has an informational page.

Donna Reiss has a portfolio resource page that gives bibliographic references and links to useful sites.
