Opening Remarks

Friday, October 25, 2002
8:00 a.m. - 8:10 a.m. GS01

John C. Ittelson, Professor, Director, California State University, Monterey Bay

This Focus Session is designed to report to the higher education community on current thinking, issues, and concerns, and provide an opportunity to get feedback that will inform development activities under way or planned. Some of the questions that will be addressed during the day include:

What are the teaching & learning issues associated with e-portfolios

Why do we need e-portfolios? What are they good for? What are the pedagogical benefits?
What should the content standards be for e-portfolios?

What are the higher education system issues associated with e-portfolios?

What are the key challenges faced by higher education in moving from the paper transcripts to those that include e-portfolios?
What are the short and long-term policy implications of e-portfolios (security, privacy and access, long-term legal implications, definition of official record, need for institutional gatekeepers, FERPA)
What are the implications of a potential shift from institutionally-based to lifelong learner-based records?

What are the institutional planning, implementation, and programmatic issues associated with e-portfolios?

What are the institutional policy implications (e.g., intellectual property issues associated with content)?
What are the support and long-term maintenance implications (financial models, storage and archiving, lifelong portfolios)?
How can we use our understanding of prior efforts to avoid some of the pitfalls?

What are the technical issues associated with e-portfolios?

How can existing technologies be used to design effective e-portfolios?
How can e-portfolios be integrated into existing enterprise systems (student information systems)?
What are the standards and technical specification issues?

What are the marketplace issues associated with e-portfolios?

Are there guidelines for e-portfolio system development by universities?
Are there guidelines for influencing vendors to meet higher education's needs?

The work products we expect to result from the day's work are:

A revised set of use cases describing the potential consequential uses of e-portfolios
A set of functional requirements for each use case
rubric for evaluating e-portfolio systems
rubric for evaluating the implementation of e-portfolio systems

Helen C. Barrett, Research Director

Trent Batson, Consultant Associate, Joel Cassola & Associates Ltd

What will the impact of implementing electronic portfolios be on the infrastructure (network, hardware, software, administrative systems), how courses are managed, how schools track student progress, teacher-student interactions, and so on? The questions that will be tackled during this session are:

What are the higher education system issues associated with e-portfolios?

What are the key challenges faced by higher education in moving from the paper transcripts to those that include e-portfolios?
What are the short and long-term policy implications of e-portfolios (security, privacy and access, long-term legal implications, definition of official record, need for institutional gatekeepers, FERPA)

PORTFOLIO PARLOR

Friday, October 25, 2002
1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. GS05

Up to ten different e-portfolio systems/models will be set up around room, and users of the systems (either a student or faculty member), will be present to interact with participants. System designers/developers will also be available to answer questions. Attendees will work on refining the use cases and functional specifications developed earlier in the day, and use a draft rubric for evaluating e-portfolio systems as they review three to four systems each (presentations start at 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2:00 p.m.; "float time" will be from 2:15 to 2:30 p.m.).

Postconference Resource

Today and Tomorrow

Friday, October 25, 2002
2:50 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. GS06

Daniel Bernstein, Director, Center for Teaching Excellence, University of Kansas

Rosa Navarro, Education Graduate Student, Stanford University

Patricia L. Rogers, Professor, Bemidji State University

Two students and two faculty members who use electronic portfolios will focus on the trials and tribulations, as well as on the value of electronic portfolios, and will present provocative and challenging possible implications for using electronic portfolios from their perspective as users.

Postconference Resource

What are the marketplace issues associated with e-portfolios?

Friday, October 25, 2002
12:00 p.m. - 12:30 p.m. GS04

Phillip D. Long, Assoc. Dir, Office of Educational Innovation and Technology, MIT

What are the standards and technical specification issues?
What are the interoperability issues?
What are the implications for next generation course management systems?
Are there guidelines for e-portfolio system development for universities that want to develop their own?
Are there guidelines for influencing vendors to meet higher education's needs? What do we need e-portfolios to do?

Postconference Resource

Why have electronic portfolios?

Friday, October 25, 2002
8:10 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. GS02

Helen L. Chen, Research Scientist, Stanford University

Toru Iiyoshi, Senior Scholar/Director, Knowledge Media Lab, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching

Gary Langer, Associate Vice Chancellor - Academic Innovations, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities

This opening panel focuses on different perspectives on why an institution would implement an e-portfolio program. How are teaching and learning transformed through the use of e-portfolios? What pedagogical changes are possible and/or required?

Issues to be covered or discussed by this panel:

Why do we need e-portfolios? What are their potential benefits, and why has their use increased dramatically over the past two years?
Who has been using e-portfolios, and what for?
How could e-portfolios change the culture of teaching and learning?
