[Portfolio] Portfolios for school/college accreditation?

Hello:

Is anybody using OSP or other Sakai tools (project sites?) to organize college reviews for accreditation. We are trying to get a pilot off the ground  but we are running into problems when we start to think about assembling and assigning a sample of student papers  (which are both random and anonymous) to a group of faculty reviewers (each paper is reviewed by one person in three different departments).  Does anybody have experience with these challenges? Or, does anybody have an alternative method we might ask the school to consider as we build out this pilot?

Thank you,
Brian

Brian, one of the best portfolio review processes I've heard about that comes close to what you describe was the long-established process used in Portland State's University Studies general education program. Although they didn't use Sakai to facilitate the process, I can think of several ways that might happen.

I can describe it generally, and/or hook you up with others who know it intimately if you'd like to talk about it in more depth.

Hi Brian,

 

We are in the midst of trying to ramp up assessment portfolios for our general education goals. I have CCed Kathy Pusecker from the Center for Educational Effectiveness and Nancy O’Laughlin from the Sakai support team at Delaware.

 

Nate: I’d love some pointers to Portland State’s initiative.

 

Best Regards,

When I was at Syracuse, we used OSP as ONE COMPONENT of our NCATE
report. The other component we piloted were Goal Aware Assignments to
gather rating data about selected pieces of student work.

However, helping the school comply with accreditation requirements is
not a huge motivator for students to create portfolios  ;)  To get
students motivated to do this is a tough task and is often successful
after much curriculum redesign. Even after you do that, it may be that
you have two different kinds of portfolios, each designed for
different kinds of audiences (automated matrix portfolios for
accreditation/program improvement and student centered portfolios that
meet teaching and learning needs and/or self expression/presentation
needs).

That being said, I would recommend using something like UMich's
"experimental" matrix features to automate some of the population of
matrices or (if you can wait for 2.7) Indiana's similar features to do
this across class worksites.

Maybe we should have a call devoted specifically to talking about this. Another option is Marist College is hosting an event devoted to Portfolios on 12/9/2009 in Poughkeepsie, NY (more details to come) and it might make sense to hold a session or BOF on this subject there.
