Best Practices for ePortfolio Assignment Implementation and Measuring Student Perceptions of Career Readiness

In the State University of New York (SUNY) System, multiple campuses share resources that make building websites and portfolios possible. At SUNY Oneonta, instructor support for ePortfolios comes from the Teaching, Learning, & Technology Center. The presenters will share an upper-division fashion portfolio project as a case study, including faculty, instructional design, and student feedback perspectives.

During the presentation, we will present from multiple viewpoints. From a campus perspective, multiple ePortfolio solutions were piloted in the past two years. We will discuss the decision-making process that brought us to our current solution that blends authentic web building skills, portability after graduation, and privacy controls. From an instructor perspective, we will share our experiences beginning a new project, shifting support for different modalities during remote instruction semesters, and timing assignments, feedback, reflection, and revision across the semester.
