ePortfolios Student and Faculty Support 2020

ePortfolios are a growing and integral part of the student learning experience at Capilano. The CTE is committed to supporting and enhancing ePortfolio use for both students and faculty. An ePortfolio provides an opportunity for students to enhance their learning through reflection, connections between curriculum, digital literacy, communication, and the transition to careers. We are working on a ePortfolio website redesign to provide more online resources and support. If you currently have an ePortfolio assignment in your course(s) please encourage your students to sign up for one of the workshops below.

What is an ePortfolio? An eportfolio is a digital collection of materials documenting your varied accomplishments and experiences, and also includes reflections on the learning process and its outcomes. CTE provides support for portfolios developed on the university’s WordPress Multi-user installation.
