Student success eportfolio: Student, faculty and employer perspectives on the value of eportfolios in assessing the development of essential employability skills

One of the strengths of this study is that it connected students, faculty, learning professionals and employers in uncovering more about the role of ePortfolios in postsecondary education. The results of this research along with the literature review continue to emphasize the importance and value of ePortfolios as a tool for learning, assessment and employment. Further research to examine how ePortfolios can be used to achieve essential skills development, assessment and employability will almost certainly take place. Colleges and universities have an opportunity, through their program advisory committees and industry partners, to engage in a conversation with employers to learn more about employers’ values, needs and requirements.
