Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great pointers, especially for potential survey
questions. I'm in the process of helping to design an evaluation
component for some ePortfolio pilots participating in ePortfolio
California (http://www.eportfolioca.org/). One instrument that looks
promising is the Electronic Portfolio Student Perspective Instrument
(abstract below).
For capturing faculty perspectives on ePortfolio use, the process
described by YoonJung Cho and Gary Brown at Washington State is
pretty interesting.

to Faculty Teaching Beliefs

And following an earlier conversation here regarding a compilation of
international ePortfolio initiatives, I've started one on the
ePortfolio community of practice I co-facilitate called EPAC. It's
pretty sparse right now and pretty much just covers what has already
been mentioned but we welcome suggestions and additions --

feel free to check out the EPAC wiki and blog -- we invite to join
our community as well at http://epac.pbworks.com/ and

Abstract WITH THE PROLIFERATION OF EPORTFOLIOS and their
organizational uses in higher education, it is important for
educators and other relevant stakeholders to understand the student
perspective. The way students view and use ePortfolios are revealing
elements to aid educators in the successful integration of ePortfolio
systems. This research describes the development of the Electronic
Portfolio Student Perspective Instrument (EPSPI) and initial
validation (N=204) efforts in the context of an ePortfolio initiative
in a College of Education. The EPSPI incorporates four domains from a
student perspective: employment, visibility, assessment, and
learning; and connects those domains with four relevant stakeholders:
students, administrators, faculty, and employers. Descriptive
analyses, exploratory factor analysis, and a qualitative analysis
using grounded theory were used. Results indicate that student
perspectives towards ePortfolios are multidimensional with three
distinct, internally consistent underlying constructs: learning,
assessment, and visibility. Qualitative analysis revealed four
interrelated themes from a student perspective: system
characteristics, support structure, purpose, and personal impact.
