Portfolio Rubric

The Portfolio Review that instructors will use to judge your portfolio. Name of Student:_____________ Emphasis area:_____________ Reviewed by:________________ Date:______________________ Reviewed by:________________ Date:______________________ Reviewed by:________________ Date:______________________     The Master's Portfolio represents the comprehensive exam for the ILT Program. Using the attached rubric, three professors must pass the student's portfolio in order for the comprehensive exam to be rated "pass." An overall judgment of pass is given only if there are no revisions to be made. If revisions of portfolio items are necessary, the student has one additional opportunity to submit the revised item(s); the revisions must be submitted within one calendar year from the faculty's initial portfolio assessment.     As information and learning technology professionals, students are asked to demonstrate that they have met all six professional responsibilities addressed in the ILT program. This is demonstrated by building the portfolio with products or projects developed in the course of the program. Students are expected to include as many items as necessary to demonstrate proficiency in the six responsibilities.     Each portfolio item intended to demonstrate a responsibility should include the following points of analysis - either in the artifact itself or in an accompanying report: Statement of the problem addressed by the product or project Analysis of the situation, including the learners or participants, setting, external constraints and opportunities, and a statement of goals or objectives for the product or project Rationale for your approach or activities, including citations and references when appropriate Report on the results of the product or project Evidence pointing to the value or usefulness of the product or project Reflections on lessons learned as they relate to your professional goals, next steps, and guidelines for use of your work.
