National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research
We are excited about the opportunity extended to eFolioMinnesota/World to collaborate with other national institutions in exploring and documenting the use of electronic portfolios as a means to support student learning. This opportunity allowed Academic Innovations to disseminate the research findings to our System’s institutions. The following team members were identified to represent the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities for this research project: Paul Wasko, Director of eStudent Services, Academic Innovations, Office of the Chancellor, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Lynette Olson, Ed.D., Assessment & Effectiveness Director, Academic Innovations, Office of the Chancellor, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Lynne Groves, Curriculum/Inst. Technology Director, Southcentral College, North Mankato, Minnesota Barb Lee Schueppert, Ed.D., Institutional Effectiveness Director, Northwest Technical College, Bemidji, MN eFolio Minnesota is the nation’s first statewide electronic portfolio management system and has become a recognized tool for Minnesota’s students and workforce. It has been highlighted in various academic publications, at national conferences, and it has provided current research for supporting innovative approaches to lifelong and lifewide learning. The 2006-2009 Cohort of the Coalition will feature research on life-wide learning, that is learning that takes place both in and outside formal education settings. Each year 10 institutions are selected to collaborate for three years on research projects related to electronic portfolios. The Coalition networking site is located at: http://incepr.ning.com/
