Examples of Student ePortfolios

TheePortfolioslinked below are creative, fun, and effective. Although they use different approaches (and different platforms), they are alike in embodying the student's reflections on their learning while at the same time showcasing their achievements.

Kylie Myles, an Honours Psychology student and former CTE coop student, shares her experience using an ePortfolio (below) for reflection.

Course Related Student Portfolios

HIST 262: Early Modern Europe 1450-1700

In Greta Kroeker’s HIST 262 course, students explored the Early Modern Period in Europe between roughly 1450 and 1750. PebblePad supported the students’ learning journeys throughout the course. To support writing development, students completed three separate short writing assignments using PebblePad templates. Feedback provided to the assignments could be used to improve subsequent assignments. For the final project, each student created a portfolio to demonstrate the findings of their research related to an artifact relevant to Early Modern Europe.

HIST/GSJ 347: Witches, Wives and Whores

The capstone project for HIST/GSJ 347 is the creation of an exhibition project. Examples of entries for part of the exhibition might include bibliographies, articles, biographical information on important figures, images, drawings, recipes, journal portions, and primary sources like plays or diaries. If a student is artistic or creative, they may choose to include objects they make or create. All items will be the result of primary and secondary research. All items must be presented in a way that reflects the item’s historical significance and based on solid research complete with citations. All materials need to be properly cited and marked with your full name in the upper right corner and loaded onto your group Learn page in digital form in order to share with the whole class, even if your projects involve the creation of physical items.
