LEARNING THROUGH EPORTFOLIOS (EDU-221102)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Educational Studies >

Course Description:


The purpose of this course is to introduce students to electronic portfolios as individual learning, communal learning, and presentation tools, and to explore their usefulness in academic and professional contexts. Students will learn the capabilities of one portfolio system (Mahara). They will create portfolio content throughout the course using journal, page, discussion, and other features. Students will also read and research in the areas of portfolio-based learning, reflection in the learning process, and public communication. By the end of the course, students will have created an individual academic/learning journal and two public/professional portfolio pages. Students will learn to analyze and provide feedback on public portfolios in terms of the creator's purpose, audience, content, media, and overall usability, and students will reflect on the usefulness of journals and portfolios to their own learning processes.

Students can not take this course twice. Students may only take the course once, at either introductory or advanced level.
