“At Plymouth State, we value that students can organize,
document, and reflect upon their academic experience using
iWebfolio. Also, as they progress through the program, our
faculty can provide continuous quantitative and qualitative
feedback on the academic and extracurricular work the student
has selected. The students are beginning to see the iWebfolio
as a vehicle for personal promotion and growth.”
“PSU has a strong commitment to teacher education
and these programs are required to focus upon many state
and national standards. The iWebfolio solution has helped
students demonstrate proficiency related to these standards
and also serves as a viable model for assessment with
practical applications for the students’ future
teaching careers.”
“iWebfolio gives learners more freedom within and
personalization of their portfolios. It lets them be creative
and flexible with their artifacts while simultaneously
allowing the structure we have outlined.”

“It (iWebfolio) will let our students produce portable
documentation of their current competencies, and they will
be able to add to their portfolios throughout their careers
as evidence of their own professional development.”
“It directs the students to address standards that
the University thinks are important, and allows the students
to thoughtfully reflect upon their courses and field experiences.
Students are encouraged to put their own personal stamp
on the portfolios by highlighting their unique talents
and experiences. We are also using the application to
help students demonstrate competency in program strands
like diversity, technology, and the differentiated classroom.”

“I have been using iWebfolio each semester since
fall 2003 to assist my students in a senior capstone class
in creating a web-based portfolio that is reflective of
their academic, professional and personal experiences.
I have been requiring graduating seniors to create portfolios
for over seven years, but switching to an e-portfolio
has taken the project to a new level! iWebfolio is user-friendly
and offers a wide range of possibilities to accommodate
even the most creative or accomplished student. The help
center makes the process that much easier because they
are so friendly and attentive, and their response time
is amazing! My success with seniors has sparked a new
project, in which students will begin the electronic portfolio
in their freshman year and maintain it until they graduate.
There is also the possibility that this will become a
crucial part of the department’s program evaluation.”
