This fall, the Faculty Discovery Common will be reading "Documenting Learning with ePortfolios: A Guide for College Instructors." The book provides higher education instructors with a theory-to-practice approach for understanding the pedagogy behind ePortfolios and tips for helping students use them for recording and reflecting on their learning in multiple contexts. The authors outline a framework of six critical iterative tasks to undertake when implementing ePortfolios for student success. Filled with real-life models of successful ePortfolio projects, the book also includes guidance for faculty development to support the use of ePortfolios and covers the place of ePortfolios in institutional assessment efforts.

Come join the discussion and learn how ePortfolios can work for you. Free copies of the book are available by contacting the FTC.
