Using Electronic Portfolios to Support Accreditiation

Many institutions have adopted electronic portfolios to assess and demonstrate student learning. Seton Hall University has built an application that automates electronic portfolio development for its students, while collecting critical information necessary for accreditation. Through a bridge between Blackboard and an external database, students in Seton Hall’s College of Education and Human Services are able to demonstrate their achievement of NCATE standards in an electronic portfolio, while presenting their development as Seton Hall students and professional educators. This presentation will demonstrate this system and address the development questions faced throughout the process as well as the critical next steps.
