  1. University Web Portals From accessibility to accountability and life-long connectivity. Paul Kim, Ph.D. Chief Technology Officer Stanford University School of Education Young Sung Lee, Ph.D. M.D. School of Medicine Chungbuk National University

  2. A university web portal used to be a gateway that serves a broad array of contents, applications, and resources to meet various institutional needs. • Earlier generation portals offered news, event calendars, web mail, LMS access, forums, FAQs, or information search options.

  3. Later generation portals started to integrate highly customizable and personalized services such as online payments and transcripts, course registration, streaming on-demand contents, webinar sessions, RSS fed news, and intellectual objects tailored for specific groups or individuals with single-sign on access.

  4. As types of services, contents, and delivery media have expanded, access control and authentication methods also have become diversified.

  5. While more sophisticated technology solutions and innovative digital devices are making inroads to enhance campus web portals and services, one of areas that higher education enterprises are increasingly pressured to focus more on are learning outcome assessment & accountability.

  6. Besides other functions of universities, the very obvious noble mission of higher education providers is to ensure that students meet the leaning goals while in school and perform respectably after graduation.

  7. School of Education has developed an experimental web portal to augment the research work focused on improving the methodology of performance-based assessment; developing and maintaining the community-based student support system; and establishing and tracking accountability for student learning progress, outcomes, and performance.

  8. The experimental web portal system provides an array of services and tools for current students, alumni, faculty, administrator, supporting community, & potential employers.

  9. Current Students • Current students can check their overall degree and credentialing progress. • Update their biographic information. • Update digital portfolios for various purposes. • Share learning strategies or reflections while collaborating on group work.

  10. Care Studies Lesson Plans Reflections Apprenticeships Sample Teaching

  11. Visual Notes in Freestyle Exportable to HTML, XML

  12. Faculty • Enter and review various assessment results and student data. • Conduct data analyses using the built-in tools that link datasets from admission, internship evaluations, and university administrative databases. • Enhance the curriculum based on research results.

  13. Alumni • Develop and augment their portfolios with digital artifacts such as videos, photos, PowerPoint presentations, or electronic documents resulted from their coursework, practicum training, or field works. • Access learning resources for continued professional development. • Update their contact information. • Serve as cooperative mentors.

  14. Administrative Staff • Add course or program evaluation data. • Assign roles and resources to accounts. • Analyze data and generate reports. • Update web services on the portal. • Import datasets from work (e.g., schools where graduates are employed) - achievement test scores from school district. • Generate reports for accreditation agencies • Export STAT-ready data files

  15. Potential Employers • Examine student portfolios before and after graduation. • Access electronic resumes and actual coursework. • Review faculty remarks and internship evaluations. • Make direct contact with students, faculty, and administration.

  16. Supporting Community • Advisors • Work Supervisors • Cooperative Mentors • Alumni Network Provide guidance and job offers.

  17. Future For University Web Portals • More Open, but More Secured • Ubiquity of Access • Community-Integrated • Focus More on mROI (e.g., Learning Outcomes, Efficiency, Employability) • Accountability • Visibility • Identity • Creativity • Informal Learning Opportunity
