​

The Communication ePortfolio is a cross-class showcase website that individual students each contribute to and maintain. The material that students upload to their own ePortfolio will come from writing assignments structured through ePortfolio-supporting classes and faculty.  In such classes, students complete assignments but contribute writing to their ePortfolio in five specific assignment areas: Create/curate, Problem posing, Problem solving, Public presentation, and Reflection. These five areas are meant to address the scientific or practical problem solving application of course content, as well as enhance disciplinary writing and showcase professional development. 

To maintain flexibility, each individual course will differentiate in the types of assignments required to fulfill a Communication ePortfolio project.  For instance, the problem being posed or question that a student may be investigating for a film course is rightfully different than an organizational communication course.  This flexible innovation allows for multiple genres of writing to be included, and part or all of the ePortfolio to be implemented into a course.  This allows for the instructor to direct the most appropriate methods of evaluation and assessment while students design and maintain a diverse archive of communication writing.
