10. 10 Assessment  Student Surveys 78% want to continue using eportfolios 81% found storage and wizard easy to use 89% spent less than 2 hours on eportfolio 75% found eportfolios effective for documenting co- curricular and extra-curricular activities Comments reflect mixed feelings overall  Faculty Surveys Technical concerns – need for more support Must be part of course requirements

11. 11 Team Recommendations  UNV 101 was not the most effective training ground for eportfolios  Eportfolios need to be tied directly to academic courses  May be better suited for English 201 rather than first year students  More technical assistance required
