Nobody at your institution regularly vets technologies intended for teaching and learning, and you have limited knowledge of ePortfolios and suitable platforms in general. When you gather a committee to consider different ePortfolio technologies, you make a list of priorities: students’ ability to edit and share their ePortfolios both as students and after they leave the institution, universal design practices for creators and viewers, privacy capabilities for authors, and minimal direct cost to students. However, the committee soon realizes it has thought very little about use of student data, which is a big concern.plain2022-10-24T11:14:30-07:00The Association for Authentic, Experiential, Evidence-Based Learning's Digital Ethics Task Force0c52e4eae81410f7710876e68e8d2c429e9eb2c3
