Students have already selected artifacts from their learning and co-curricular experiences to include in the ePortfolio but have not yet begun creating and filling the actual site. You distribute a survey to students to identify how comfortable they are using digital devices, if they have used the ePortfolio platform before, and how familiar they are with ePortfolios as a genre.plain2021-06-30T14:05:26-07:00The Association for Authentic, Experiential, Evidence-Based Learning's Digital Ethics Task Force0c52e4eae81410f7710876e68e8d2c429e9eb2c3

A two-day workshop is scheduled the week before classes begin to introduce the requirement.

In selecting ePortfolio platform providers, your institution has made data collection a priority. This gives you relief. However, when you are developing ePortfolios with your students, you see that some features of the ePortfolio platform ask students to use other tools. For instance, to embed a video on their ePortfolio page, students are prompted to upload the media to YouTube and then use a plugin to embed that video onto their page.plain2020-07-30T07:48:01-07:00The Association for Authentic, Experiential, Evidence-Based Learning's Digital Ethics Task Force0c52e4eae81410f7710876e68e8d2c429e9eb2c3

You would like to assign students a video-making project as part of their ePortfolio development for your course. As you design this assignment, you consider that some students will be making these videos on their phones, while others will use laptops and screencasting programs, and others will have access to video cameras. Because they are using different hardware, they will most likely also be using different video-making programs.plain2022-10-19T12:38:48-07:00The Association for Authentic, Experiential, Evidence-Based Learning's Digital Ethics Task Force0c52e4eae81410f7710876e68e8d2c429e9eb2c3
