Web-based student portfolios in the classroom
Thursday, Feb. 21 (11:45-1:00) Buntrock 142, David Booth, Director, Center for Integrative Studies. Student Participants: Brigid Franey, Laura Fillingame, Tad Hinnenkamp, Emily Wenzel
David Booth and students from IS 204: Ethics and Embodiment will talk about the learning goals for the Web portfolio assignment that was incorporated into this class, and will show some examples of the portfolios that were created. The Center for Integrative Studies received funding from the Mellon Foundation to pilot the use of Web-based portfolios as a tool for St. Olaf students' academic and intellectual development. Students completing individual majors in the CIS maintain Web portfolios as one of the requirements of the major; the CIS also supports the use of Web portfolios in its integrative topics seminars.
