News from our USA colleagues: AAEEBL ePortfolio Research Study

[Coach Carole]

Invitation to contribute to AAEEBL ePortfolio Research Study

July 1 is the deadline for participating in the eportfolio survey sponsored by The Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence Based Learning (AAEEBL).  The survey is designed to gain a better understanding of the motivations, benefits, strengths, and challenges of eportfolio implementations across diverse institutions.  It is designed to be relevant to all institutions both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.  It is not necessary to be a member of AAEEBL to participate in the survey. 

We invite you to respond to these survey questions from your own individual, personal and professional perspective, focusing on a single eportfolio project or program with which you are involved.  You are not expected to feel responsible for speaking for your program or for what may be several eportfolio initiatives at your institution.  However, you are encouraged to forward information about this survey to colleagues who may also be working with eportfolios so that we may include a diverse range of eportfolio-related initiatives. This survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

Please find this survey at:

Preliminary findings from this survey will be shared and discussed at The AAEEBL International ePortfolio Summit 2011 in Boston, July 25 – 28 (See http://www.aaeebl.org/eportfolio_world_summit2011 ). 

In addition to sharing survey results at the AAEEBL conference, the survey will also be discussed in several follow-up webinars and online chats in order to ensure that a broader international audience is able to participate and contribute to an ongoing discussion of these issues.  This survey is the first in a series of research activities aimed at examining how eportfolios are being promoted in higher education globally and identifying the conditions conducive to successful implementation of eportfolios and associated pedagogies and assessment strategies.

If you have questions about this research or the information in this survey, please contact Gary Brown bro...@wsu.edu, Helen Chen hlc...@stanford.edu, or Jayme Jacobson jay...@uidaho.edu
