Book description
E-portfolios perform many functions in higher education at both an
institutional and student level. This book offers online instructors
guidance in creating and implementing e-portfolios with their students.
It helps them assess the needs of their students then design and
implement a strategic, comprehensive e-portfolio program tailored to
these needs. Further, it lets instructors see how such programs can be
used as an example of their own personal and professional academic
development. This is an essential resource for any online instructor or
student wishing to use e-portfolios as a tool.
