Electronic Student Portfolios have gained wide popularity in higher education as a way to document, enhance, and assess learning and teaching.  Universities around the world use ePortfolio to help students reflect upon and create digital portraits of their evolving identities as learners.  And as the political debate over assessment and accountability heats up, college educators have found new ways to use ePortfolio to examine the learning/teaching process.

LaGuardia Community College, CUNY, has emerged as an international ePortfolio leader, with a successful ePortfolio project that not only supports assessment but also helps engage more deeply with learning.  While many colleges have piloted ePortfolio, LaGuardia has achieved broad implementation. (See http://www.eportfolio.lagcc.cuny.edu )Working with thousands of poor and minority students, LaGuardia’s data shows deeper engagement in learning and improved student learning outcomes.
