SampleResearchQuestions

Academic Programs◦ How can we help students relate core competency

progress/achievement/learning back to their FYS portfolio work without having a plethora of portfolios for each student?

Professional Development◦ What role could ePortfolio play in the promotion and tenure process?

Campus Connection & Co-Curriculum◦ For club/group ePortfolios, how do we (should we?) evaluate them?

Same rubrics? Or do we develop a new rubric for co-curricular groups? Should eP be a part of yearly evaluation for student groups?

Advisement◦ How can badges and learning analytics be used to further

advisement and co-curricular learning?

The Platform◦ Can ePortfolios fro a class or academic program be searched by tags?

What type of tagging system would help students reflect on their learning?
