ePortfolios: The Method of Choice for Validation
Scott, Ken; Kim, Jichul
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v39 n8 p784-787 2015
Community colleges have long been institutions of higher education in the arenas of technical education and training, as well as preparing students for transfer to universities. While students are engaged in their student learning outcomes, projects, research, and community service, how have these students validated their work? One method of validation is the design and development of the personal and professional ePortfolio. This article chronicles the process of how ePortfolios offer validation of a student's learning experiences to meet workforce expectations as part of an individual's holistic social media footprint (e.g., ePortfolios [workforce] and social media [interpersonal]).
