The Use of an Assessment Management System as an ePortfolio in Higher Education

Abstract

This study shares the details of how one education department in higher education utilized an Assessment Management System as an ePortfolio. Through the use of this ePortfolio system, the department collected, analyzed, and used key assessments to make data-driven program improvements. The authentic, significant program improvements made based on the student data included the development of new assessment strategies, curriculum revisions, restructuring of course and program outcomes, procedural changes, training opportunities for faculty and staff, and the development of new committees and restructuring of existing committees. The presentation highlights the five year trend results of implementing these improvements within the education department based upon the use of the ePortfolio data.
