The ABCs of Student Learning and e-Portfolios

ASU to host outcome assessment conference Feb. 8-9

MESA, Ariz. — Many post-secondary institutions are moving toward setting up their own assessment systems, and ASU is not far behind. At the Polytechnic campus the university is looking at implementing electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) to assess outcomes for student learning.

“Across the country and around the world, at learning institutions of all kinds, students are creating e-portfolios — portfolios for personal planning, learning communities, general education, the academic major, advising, graduation and even job seeking,” says Douglas Eder, director of University Evaluation.
