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.

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.
