  7. Pace’s Spring 2011 Pilots • Student Leadership Pilot: • Students developed their Extracurricular/Co-curricular Activities pages, and blogged about their development as a leaders • Student Life Office expanded pilot to summer Orientation Leaders • Career Services Pilot: • Students interns blogged about their experiences and posted relevant artifacts • Faculty advisors reviewed the blog to track student progress and grant credit • Gathered data from employer surveys • ePortfolio Assessment Pilot: • Evaluated student portfolios for evidence of three student learning outcomes: Written Communication, Analysis, and Information Literacy/Research Skills

  9. Career Services Data Other: samples of work; being able to search and find all the candidates at Pace Other: link to linkedIn page; experience.

  10. Career Services Data

  11. Assessment Pilot Data • The results of the pilot were mixed: valuable information about Core outcomes was gained, but only 72 student ePortfolios out of the 176 reviewed could be accessed or had the quality of work that could be reviewed using the rubrics. • When reviewers’ grades and comments were compiled, student competency in the written communication and information literacy outcomes was fair-to-good, and competency in analysis was only fair.

  12. Written Communication Rubric

  13. ePortfolio Grades by Rubric (Four-point Scale):

  14. Valuable Information Gained as a Result of Pilot: • Faculty reviewers training session—feedback on rubrics, need for more robust student reflections, level of students, kinds of assignments • Faculty participants survey—more support needed for faculty and students; more emphasis on student reflection needed; 100% of those surveyed stated they would use ePortfolios again

  15. ePortfolios For Tenure and Promotion • Immediate Need for Digital Academic Portfolios (AP) • Buy-In from all the constituents • Commercial AP platform vs. Pace ePortfolio platform • Standardized template • Platform used by candidates for TAP and the various TAP review groups
