Student e-portfolios
E-portfolio Introduction
During our first class together we will have a training session where we will go over the learning technology for the course. A major part of the course is your e-portfolio. The e-portfolio is a digital online site, similar to a personal website, where you will archive all your learning artifacts and showcase all your projects and reflections on your educational experiences. The e-portfolio provides the form and structure for not only your assignments and the instructor’s comments, but also your reflections on progress, challenges, successful techniques, language use practice, critical thinking and writing – all habits and skills that support reflective and independent learning. The information collected in the e-portfolio, and the skills developed by using an online tool for record-keeping and reflection, will both be important to you throughout your career as you continue to track abilities, language learning experiences, and challenges. The website will be kept private among our class. You may choose to allow it open to the public.
We will create this e-portfolio together in class but you will be responsible to develop it through the course. We will be using your e-portfolio when we have our conference sessions on your progress. The e-portfolio will also be part of your assessment for the course. Please refer to the sample marking PDF rubric below.
The student projects assigned in this class will use the e-portfolio for a wide range of opportunities for self-reflection and interaction with the professor and classmates. You may also choose to share your e-portfolio with your family back home. They would most definitely appreciate seeing your progress.
Information (pages) that can be included in your e-portfolio:
· Biography of yourself
· Coursework: writing drafts, research projects…
· Reflections on your learning in and out of class; i.e. blogs
· Learning Log (to be explained in class)

· Goals (short & long term)
· Links to websites relevant to your purpose
