Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Why AAEEBL Created this Resource:
As outward-facing ePortfolios become more common, students, educators, administrators, and staff need guiding principles to ground their practice. Indeed, members voiced this need during the 2018 AAEEBL Annual Meeting. In response, AAEEBL formed a Digital Ethics Task Force composed of ePortfolio scholars and practitioners to develop principles, strategies, and resources for general use.
Who is this Resource Intended for?
Anyone involved in administering, teaching, creating, or practicing ePortfolios, including students, professionals, educators, administrators, staff, and platform providers, will find advice, suggestions, and examples here.
The Purpose of this Resource:
This resource is meant to guide students, professionals, educators, administrators, staff, and platform providers in ePortfolio practice as it relates to digital ethics. Use these principles to illustrate ePortfolio best practices to administrators, staff, and stakeholders, guide the development of your ePortfolio curriculum, or apply to your ePortfolio practices.
Structure:
This resource is organized around a set of ten principles relating to digital ethics and ePortfolios. Each principle has three parts. First, the resource provides a guiding suite of principles and strategies that can be used across contexts. Second, it offers scenarios to illustrate how to apply these principles in practice. Third, it includes a list of citations that feature further information on each principle. You can use the principles to navigate the document and glean the suggested practices based on each principle.
Principles
The principles are written as broad, overarching statements without specific details to allow for wide applicability. Each principle is explained and situated through a number of strategies that provide readers with details for application.
Scenarios
The scenarios illustrate how the principles’ strategies might come into practice in a particular local context. The goal of these scenarios is to model best practices in action by providing details about a situation with possible responses or questions to consider. Because contexts can vary, the scenarios are not intended to be all-encompassing.
Additional Resources
Additional resources are provided for each principle and include articles, book chapters, digital repositories, guides, and educational websites.
Before you begin:
ePortfolios are reflective, iterative digital spaces where students develop and communicate an intentional identity to a selected audience. Before you begin to read, we recommend that you review the following resources to ensure a shared knowledge of common terminology and core principles of ePortfolio pedagogy.
The Field Guide to ePortfolio — This publication by AAEEBL and AAC&U (Association of American Colleges and Universities), compiled by over fifty ePortfolio practitioners, is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide to the concept of ePortfolio and what it looks like in practice. ePortfolios, the Eleventh High-Impact Practice —This article articulates the logic behind naming ePortfolios as a high-impact practice and discusses how to design an ePortfolio curriculum that yields high-impact results.
Notes about Version 3.0
Significant updates to version 3.0 of this document include the revision of the Access to Technology and Cross-Platform Compatibility Principles into the Technology & Usability Principle and the revision of the Consent for Data Storage, Privacy, and Content Storage Principles into the Data Responsibility Principle. There are currently 10 Principles in total. In Version 2, the Task Force elected to stop the process of numbering the principles because we wanted to avoid encouraging readers to think of them hierarchically. Instead, we want users to understand that the Principles are interconnected and locally situated, meaning that their relevance will increase and decrease according to each user’s specific needs in a given time and place. We started tagging between Principles to further encourage this perspective.
