If you
are considering Call for Applications: Cohort VII of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research
Applications due January 13, 2012
Cohort VII of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research will focus on assessment through the lens of four propositions. Those propositions center on the interaction of pieces of evidence, the relationship of evidence and reflection, material practices, and meaningful comparison without standardization. The propositions are:
- For meaningful assessment, interaction of pieces of evidence within an eportfolio is more important than single pieces of evidence.
- Reflection on pieces of evidence within an eportfolio and on the eportfolio as a whole provides information for assessment that is not available by other means.
- The material practice of eportfolio composition generates distinctive knowledge about learning.
- Eportfolios enable meaningful comparison of student learning across institutions (and other contexts) without standardization.
If your institution is interested in exploring these ideas in a systematic way to influence the direction of assessment of learning and in conducting research on your own eportfolio practices or programs, you are invited to apply for participation in Cohort VII.
