Professional Development
Teaming with faculty from Counselor Education, Penn State's e-Portfolio Initiative sought local resources to help address program evaluation and accreditation needs. Having established a curriculum map articulating key assessment activities related to accreditation standards, the WebLion team used Penn State's Plone-based open source content management software to create an online repository for faculty to upload, store, and tag evidence of student learning based on these standards. What was previously an inefficient and redundant paper-based process has become a streamlined assessment management system that can be queried to review progress on key learning outcomes by faculty, assessment coordinators, and outside auditors.
