Abstract

This paper describes how user-centered design methodologies were employed to create a software prototype used for outcomes assessment of e-portfolios. Designed to be used by faculty, university administrators and accreditation users, the prototype standardizes, aggregates and displays e-portfolio data in novel ways. Results of evaluating the prototype indicate that e-portfolios can be an effective means of outcomes assessment at the program level.
