Journal of the Research Center for Educational Technology 4 (2008) This paper briefly summarizes the implementation of a university-wide electronic portfolio requirement. We begin with a systemic view of the ePortfolio Program and narrow our focus to a view of ePortfolio integration into two different classes. The rationale behind the Clemson University ePortfolio Program is to build a mechanism through which core competencies are demonstrated and evaluated. The target classes are a general education English class focusing on 20th and 21st century literature and a professional development seminar in computer science. Both classes allow students to select their topics and present their work to the class using a variety of media types, and both include a form of peer evaluation. These classes confirm that when students’ choice is built into the assignments we are pleasantly surprised by the outcomes.
Edmodo is a microblogging platform and communications tool for use by teachers and students in the classroom. Edmodo provides teachers and students the ability to share notes, links, and files to foster communication inside and outside of the classroom. Teachers also have the ability to post alerts, assignments, and events to share with their students. You may upload any file of 100mb or less to Edmodo. We currently do not render the videos to flash. We strongly encourage users to use an external video sharing service such as Youtube, Vimeo, or Blip.tv and post the embed codes using our link posting feature.
