The learning portfolio— grounded in a process of reflection, evidence, and collaboration— is a rich, flexible document that engages students in continuous, thoughtful analysis of their learning.
Abstract

Wondering how reflection, collaboration, and evidence promote higher-level learning? Come find out about the benefits and challenges of learning portfolios, the value of reflective practice in enhancing learning, and the diverse applications of student portfolios. Bring your experiences and your varied models for active conversation, for sharing of ideas and resources on learning portfolios, and for writing a plan for implementation of a learning portfolio in a course or for a program.
