ABSTRACT

Does ePortfolio practice, done well, advance student learning? As we saw in Chapters 2 through 7, the Catalyst Framework offers strategies colleges can use to launch, develop, and sustain high-impact ePortfolio practice. With its interlocking sectors—Pedagogy, Professional Development, Outcomes Assessment, Technology, and Scaling Up—educators have a framework for effective ePortfolio implementation. In this chapter we address the questions that clearly come next: What difference does ePortfolio make? What is the impact of ePortfolio practice done well on student, faculty, and institutional learning? What evidence did the Connect to Learning (C2L) campuses generate? What does this evidence suggest?
