EPAC March 2009 Webcast
ePortfolios in Math with Professor Suzanne Topp, Salt Lake Community College
Friday, March 13th at 9 a.m. PT/10 a.m. MT/11 a.m. CT/12 p.m. ET
Description
I have introduced e-portfolios into the design of my quantitative reasoning math course to further emphasize student learning outcomes. The course is structured so the four projects showcase student learning. The students are required to submit the projects to me using an e-portfolio. My assessment for this course has changed from written tests to evidence of learning. The e-portfolios are used to assess the students' conceptual understanding and skill mastery of the course's student learning outcomes. An added e-portfolio benefit is students are able to see their progress as they go through the course. This is evident in their semester reflections.
