Virtual Portfolios
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed virtual portfolios as structures that help students organise knowledge and the knowledge-building process in virtual environments. These online portfolios allow learners to easily navigate their virtual learning space, collaborate at many levels, and acquire a heightened level of awareness of (inter)actions in the virtual learning environment. We report our experiences over the last 4 years in using virtual portfolios for enhancing the learning process in an American university course in global environmental change. Examples are given of how students respond to different functional capabilities offered within the virtual portfolio and to different requirements for evaluating student performance. Fejl!
