Project Description
|
The goal of the e-portfolio project at the Metropolitan Center of Empire State College (ESC) is to integrate e-portfolios with our nontraditional student population and with curricula based on individualization and independent study. Our hope is that e-portfolios, particularly their potential for facilitating reflection, will help our students develop the self-directed learning skills they will need to successfully complete their degrees.
In 2010, we will be incorporating e-portfolios into three studies specifically designed to further the college’s mission of supporting nontraditional learners: ESC 101: Introduction to Individualized Study; Writing, Learning and Experience: The Prior Learning Essay and Career Building through E-Portfolio. These sequenced courses offer a strategic “entrance to exit” use of e-portfolios and will lay the foundation for broader eportfolio implementation across the college that reflects our commitment to supporting students’ lifelong learning.
