Eportfolios can be used as both formative and summative assessment tools. I envision students using an eportfolo much like a physical portfolio in some ways, as a tool to gather and organize their work. In addition, the eportfolio offers the ability to share in progress works with classmates and perhaps students in a larger community. Formative assessment can take place in the form of peer comments on work as well as sharing of proposed concepts and the gathering of mentor artist examples and content ideas gleaned from research. Student engage in the artistic practice of documenting and reflecting on their own work while searching for inspiration from mentor artists and the world around them. They are required to maintain, organize and edit the portfolio to show their process and growth. As a summative assessment tool, the eportfolio will show the students final collection of work at any given time. It will be purposefully organized to give the viewer a clear idea of the path taken and the resulting finished work. It will combine the finished work and artists statement about the individual works, the inspiration for the work and the body of work as a whole. This product, while changeable, should have parts that are “complete” at any given time. A good example of how I envision this working can be found here
