TEJ An E-Portfolio Suite of Formative and Summative Assessment Tools

The E-Portfolio Suite of assessment solutions captures the demands of both portfolio-based assessment and task-based CLB assessment on a Google based platform.
The classroom gets the buzz it wants through Blogger, and administrators get secure, neat-looking spreadsheets through Google Forms. Either way, LINC/ESL instructors come out feeling pretty good.

Kinda Thought This Was Comin'

PAGE THE FIFTY-EIGHTH (the best page in PBLA2014):

Q. Do you ever remove artefacts from a portfolio? Don’t they get quite large over time?

A. Usually, at the beginning of a term, when students have a portfolio started in another class, teachers often review the contents, then advise the students to remove all but the most recent items, i.e. the artefacts they added just before the end of the previous term. These items become the ‘starting’ point artefacts to use when reflecting on progress going forward.

Q. Isn’t this all pretty paper-based for a digital age?

Yes, it is. Teachers are encouraged to think about how they can do things digitally. As PBLA is rolled out, e-portfolios will be developed. However, at this time, many programs across the country do not yet have the needed technology or bandwidth to support an online version of PBLA. One step at a time.
