Contact: Nicole Buzzetto-More, nabuzzetto-more@umes.edu
Proposals due January 2nd 2009
Electronic portfolios offer a scalable and comprehensive means to document individual and organizational growth and progress, showcase/market talent and achievements, provide a method of assessment and evaluation, expand professional development, examine the efficacy of operations and programs, manage projects, and engage in student and/or labor management. The intended users vary among portfolio systems which may be geared towards government agencies, nonprofits, business and industry, K-12 education, vocational/professional development training, individual usage, teacher education programs, and/or general higher education use. Further, within individual institutions the platform may be built to accommodate the needs of students, employees, faculty, external stakeholders and auditors, and or management. When thoughtfully implemented the benefits are numerous, serving a number of purposes and benefiting multiple stakeholders.
To date, a well rounded discussion of electronic portfolios as they apply to multiple endeavors is missing from the literature. This forthcoming book will discuss the implications of electronic portfolios in education, labor, and organizational development; best practices and real world examples; system options and considerations; offer models for implementation; and management, and address sustainability issues.
