Do my students really know what they learned in my course? Do they recognize how their skills and thinking change over time? What evidence do they have that they've achieved course outcomes? ISUComm ePortfolios are a powerful tool that help students collect a variety of information from one or multiple courses in one place. They can document a large project, linking to drafts and feedback they've received along the way.

They can include video presentations and reflections. In this workshop Dr. Barbara Blakely, Director of ISUComm Foundation Courses, and her team of developers will share a new ePortfolio tool initiated in ENGL 150 and 250 classes, and help you discover how to harness students' ISUComm ePortfolios to enhance metacognition and display student projects in your course. Presenters will share examples of how ePortfolios have been used in a variety of classes to scaffold learning, collect artifacts in one place for holistic review by both students and instructors, and provide a place for student capstone projects that students will be able to access after the course has concluded. Attendees are invited to conceptualize and discuss how ISUComm ePortfolios might be used in their courses with hands-on help from presenters. Follow-up sessions will be provided to help instructors further develop specific pedagogical uses of this multi-media communication and learning tool in their own disciplines.
