337 - Teaching Workshop. Eportfolio 101: High Impact Eportfolio Teaching and Learning Strategies for Sociology Majors

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

Electronic portfolios – eportfolios – provide an anchor teaching and learning tool for students, instructors, programs and institutions. Eportfolios facilitate retention through community building based on shared program learning goals and their communication throughout a program. Students can use eportfolios to synthesize connections among learning experiences within and outside of the formal classroom (including life experiences and academic experiences such as internships and travel abroad), thereby deepening their understanding and communication of sociology. In addition to general information and resources about eportfolios, session leaders will share how eportfolios are used in sociology or social science programs based on their experiences in different types of higher educational institutions. Active learning and participation will be an integral part of the workshop.
