ePortfolio Assessment
Friday, February 6, 2015 | University Library 2115E | 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Register » | Organizer: Amy Powell | Presenters: Susan Kahn
ePortfolios can be deployed to serve a wide range of pedagogical purposes. Among these, assessment represents one of the most common, whether ePortfolios are focused on single courses, full programs, experiential learning, or broad institutional initiatives such as general education. This workshop will examine ePortfolio assessment practices, including rubric-based assessment of learning outcomes, and explore how assessment of reflection differs from “self-report” survey responses. Several IUPUI faculty will describe their approaches to assessing ePortfolios in segments or as unified compositions, with attention not only to practical logistics but also to improvements made based on assessment results.

RISE Program Course Development Grant
Faculty are encouraged to apply for $2500 for professional development/summer support to develop a new course or redesign an existing course in line with RISE criteria. $2000 will be disseminated initially and the remaining $500 upon submission of the final report.
RISE courses must incorporate qualified experiences, integration of knowledge, structured reflection activities to link the experience with targeted learning outcomes, and assessment as outlined below. These courses will be distinctive because they intentionally use experiential learning to prepare students for graduate school, careers, and global citizenship. They provide skills, knowledge, and experiences that are highly valued by employers and lay the foundation for future leaders. Courses developed in the summer of 2015 must initially be offered in the 2015-16 academic year. For more information visit: http://due.iupui.edu/center-for-coordinated-initiatives/iupui-rise-program/course-development-grant
