Citation preview
Learning Portfolio Supports at McMaster University
Jon Kruithof, McMaster University
A Brief History of the Learning Portfolio
• A response to President Patrick Deane’s letter, Forward With Integrity
• The Learning Portfolio sought to document curricular, co-curricular and community learning
• Helps answer “What did I learn at McMaster?”
What We Built (Part One)
• Standard technical supports put in place• Primarily how-to PDF documents (6-8 pages)• We built 24 of these for faculty/staff and
student use• 2 hour technical training – assumed that
faculty would know what they want to use it for
What We Built (Part Two)
• Student Guide to the Learning Portfolio (PDF)• Tried to be the catch-all for a user who didn’t
know anything about ePortfolios• Turned out to be a technical manual on how
to create your ePortfolio, Learning Goals, without a significant “Why” piece
What We Built (Part Three)
• Learning Portfolio Videos (8) as part of our LMS support videos
• Learning Goal widget in the LMS• Devise a mechanism for sharing public
portfolios
