An e-portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s effort, progress, achievements, and competencies gained during a course or time in college. It provides a richer picture of one’s performance in a more efficient, dynamic and integrated process. The University Honors Program’s vision is to establish a best practice system that engages students in establishing a life-long digital identity that is actively reflective of their curricular, developmental, and professional learning. More specifically, our objectives for all students, faculty and staff are to

• Develop a sense of identity in a digital format
• Integrate curricular learning through student experiences
• Establish a learning map for professional and personal development and growth
• Showcase and reflect on learning opportunities through one or more of the thematic areas of the University Honors Program (Community Engagement, Global Studies, Leadership, and Research/Creative Arts)
• Establish a comprehensive system of assessment in creating an accurate portrait of the Honors student population and measure of programmatic progress

University Honors students who entered the program in or after fall 2008 are required to maintain an e-portfolio using Nuventive iWebfolio. This platform provides a secure and efficient means for students to build portfolios over the Internet through a regular web browser.

E-portfolios have emerged at UC as a key tool in supporting Integrated Core Learning (ICL), which is the University's approach to integrating students' General Education, major/minor coursework and/or other curricular and co-curricular activities. The University Honors Program is among the first university-wide programs using e-portfolios. 

The links on the left provide information including our work using e-portfolios, tutorials and frequently asked questions.  Below is a broad overview of iWebfolio as presented in the Gateway to University Honors Class.
