Using Portfolios for Student Self-Reflection

Learning portfolios typically showcase mastery of learning outcomes in a course or program, or detail professional or extra-curricular accomplishments. Gathering evidence (or artifacts) to show academic growth is only one part of building a portfolio. Self-reflection, the other major component, helps students focus on how coursework they complete fits into their overall intellectual and personal growth. This session will offer teaching strategies for instructors to engage students in self-reflection, including how to decide what to emphasize, and how reflection may differ across disciplines.
