Assessment
You will present your e-portfolio to a panel of two EDTEC faculty using the e-Portfolio Rubric (below). Masters students should become very familiar with this rubric and use it as an integral part of portfolio development. Other EDTEC students may also attend your presentation, but your consultation with the faculty that follows the presentation will be private.
Your e-portfolio will be completed by the 9th week of the semester during which you plan to graduate. You will not be allowed to participate in commencement ceremonies before the successful completion of your e-portfolio.
Presentation Guidelines
Guidelines for brief e-portfolio presentation to faculty:
- Your presentation may be no longer than 15 minutes, including faculty Q&A.
- You may use only your e-portfolio itself as a presentation visual (no "extra" PowerPoint slides, please).
- Plan to briefly describe to the faculty:
- Your career and/or program emphasis
- Three of your principle "loves" from the EDTEC program
- Three of your e-portfolio artifacts that exemplify those "loves"
- Be prepared to respond to faculty questions about your reflections, especially your comprehensive reflection.
e-Portfolio Rubric
The Educational Technology Masters e-Portfolio Rubric is divided into seven parts:
- Personal Introduction Page (10%) – Evaluates both the appearance and the quality of the page. This is your opening screen so first impressions in layout and content are important.
- Standards Matrix (10%) – Each artifact will be included in a standards matrix to provide a simple overview of which standards it addresses.
- Artifacts and Reflections (35%) – Individual pages will be completed for each of the artifacts included in the portfolio. These reflections will have been completed in the courses where the artifacts were originally created.
- Comprehensive Reflection Page (20%) – This reflection covers the students’ experience throughout their program.
- Usability (20%) – The e-portfolio itself will demonstrate good verbal and visual literacy, and appropriate use of principles of readability, page layout, and navigation.
- Overall Quality (5%) – A small part of the assessment is included to allow evaluators the latitude to reward exceptional work that exceeds the expectations included in the rest of the rubric.
Following your presentation, the faculty will confer amongst themselves, then invite you to return for feedback. If the faculty feel there is a significant deficiency in the portfolio, they may ask you to revise that portion and resubmit it within one week. If they are not satisfied with the revision, they may ask you to resubmit your portfolio the next semester.
