Project Description
The Hart Leadership Program, directed by Alma Blount, is exploring different methods of assessment for their program. The goals of this exploration include the following:
• overall student work (yielded by improved and standardized assessment methods using rubrics and assessment technologies)
• student engagement (measured by assessment technologies and past student ratings)
• student and program exposure via eportfolio publishing and public press
Currently, program faculty and staff have chosen to use eportfolios as a means towards creating a standardized programmatic assessment by generating standard rubrics to assess writing samples (reflective pieces and full papers), along with a completed eportfolio presentation (public webpages generated by the students’ work). The program has decided to use Chalk&Wire’s ePortfolio2 product to meet the aforementioned goals.
Project Started: Dec 2007
Funding: $4300
