The Educational Technology Master’s e-Portfolio
Each candidate for graduation will submit an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) as evidence of mastery of essential responsibilities of the successful graduate from the Educational Technology program at The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. An e-portfolio is a purposeful collection of work that exhibits a candidate’s efforts, progress, and achievements in digital form. The e-portfolio requires candidate’s to review, evaluate, and identify works that reflect achievement of program standards and demonstrate continued improvement of professional practice through critical inquiry, professional development, and reflective practice.
Using a rubric, three evaluators must assign a passing grade to the candidate’s e-portfolio in order for the portfolio to be regarded as “pass.” An overall judgment of “pass” is given only if no revisions are necessary or required. If revisions of e-portfolio items are necessary, the candidate has one additional opportunity to submit the revised item(s); the revisions must be submitted within one calendar year from the initial e-portfolio assessment.
As educational technology professionals, candidates must demonstrate that they have met all eight professional responsibilities addressed in the M.Ed. program. Mastery of these responsibilities is demonstrated by candidate’s producing an e-portfolio with products or projects developed throughout the course of the Masters program. Additionally, candidates will include evidence of mastery of the responsibilities that is not directly related to projects from coursework. Candidates are expected to include as many items as necessary to demonstrate proficiency in eight responsibilities. These responsibilities represent, in part, the NCATE standards developed by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) to define the field of educational technology and to specify the knowledge base for the field. |
