One School's Experience in Implementing E-Portfolios: Lessons Learned
Blair, Risa; Godsall, Lyndon
Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v7 n2 p145-153 2006
This article describes how a K-12 school in South Florida adopted a course management system with e-portfolio capabilities. E-portfolios are available tools, though more costly, in higher-end course management systems and are gaining recognition in the K-12 market. However, according to a recent survey administered by the technology team at the school, acceptance and integration of the e-portfolio is still evolving. Participants in the survey included 163 high school students who received training from their teachers to create e-portfolios in major subject areas. From the survey, students indicated that they are still unsure as to the application of e-portfolios. Once standards are established by the learning community, e-portfolios will realize their potential in academia and the workplace. (Contains 1 table.)
