Electronic portfolios

Abstract

A member of the North Dakota University System, Valley City State University (VCSU) offers baccalaureate degrees in education, business and the liberal arts to a student population of 1,100. In 1995, VCSU adopted an electronic portfolio initiative and in 1996 became the second four‐year laptop institution in the USA, providing laptop computers to all of its faculty and students. This article describes VSCU’s grant‐funded best technology practices project, which enables students to complete electronic portfolios on CD‐ROM, which is proving to be an effective strategy for improving teaching and learning.
