Assessment
Student Surveys 78% want to continue using eportfolios 81% found storage and wizard easy to use 89% spent less than 2 hours on eportfolio 75% found eportfolios effective for documenting co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities Comments reflect mixed feelings overall
Faculty Surveys Technical concerns – need for more support Must be part of course requirements

Team Recommendations
UNV 101 was not the most effective training ground for eportfolios
Eportfolios need to be tied directly to academic courses
May be better suited for English 201 rather than first year students
More technical assistance required
