ePortfolios @ LaGuardia
What, Why & How?
WHAT IS AN EPORTFOLIO?
A collection of student work A web portal where students access their work,
track their academic growth and plan their career A multimodal way to express, reflect on and
present student work A digital resume A record of student skills, achievements and
learning
WHAT CAN YOU PUT IN AN EPORTFOLIO?
Course work: research projects, essays, internship reports, business plans, accounting/cost-benefit graphs, reflections, etc.
Multimedia files: video clips, audio clips, graphic files, visual art designs, photos, etc.
Documents: Word, Excel, Powerpoint Presentations, etc.
Links: blogs, websites, social media tools
WHY EPORTFOLIO?
To deepen student learning and engagement:
The LaGuardia ePortfolio
encourages students to think
about their learning within the
broader context of family,
career, senior college, culture
and experience.
WHY EPORTFOLIO?To engage students in discussion of advising and
transfer issues based on students’ educational and career plans.
The hope is to make ePortfolio as an advisement instrument to support the successful transfer of our students to senior colleges or gainful employment.
See: Connecting Students with Potential Employers
WHY EPORTFOLIO?For Transfer and Employment :
LaGuardia’s ePortfolios help students to examine and reflect on their learning and career goals.
This eases the transition from LaGuardia to the worlds of work and advanced education.
More and more employers are starting to use ePortfolios instead of resumes.

WHY EPORTFOLIO?For Program assessment:
All colleges and universities examine teaching practice and student learning in order to improve the education provided to students. At LaGuardia, this process is called Program Assessment.
And we do it, in part, with samples of class work students place in their ePortfolios and in the Program Assessment area of the ePortfolios.
