Electronic Portfolios: Blending Technology, Accountability & Assessment
Finally, this collaboration was a unique look at how educational software can be designed when educators are a part of the development process. WACTC, and many public and independent schools, wanted a portfolio tool that combined the accountability and organization of standards-based assessment with a way to showcase the talents of their students and teachers. Digital portfolios are the product of this need, pushing e-portfolios toward their potential as assessment tools that combine accountability with the richness of classroom practice.
