4) Assessment and Evaluation with Technology Infused
Classes - (location TBD: V1004 or Hobart Hall Rm. 132) Dr. Helen Barrett
will present a web-lecture on electronic portfolios. Electronic portfolios
can have multiple purposes: as assessment tools to document the attainment of
standards (a positivist model--an assessment portfolio); as digital stories
of deep learning (a constructivist model--a learning portfolio); and as
digital resumes to highlight competence (a showcase model-- a
marketing/employment portfolio). She will review the differences between
electronic portfolios and online assessment management systems, and consider
the portfolio process as content management with reflection on learning
represented in the stored artifacts. How can we encourage learners' intrinsic
motivation to maintain an e-portfolio as a lifelong learning tool? Dr.
Barrett is an "internationally-known expert on electronic portfolio
development for learners of all ages" http://www.electronicportfolios.com/
