| Abstract: | The process of constructing A Portrait of Academic Life web resource has included careful evidence gathering and analysis
of student performance necessary to assess learning and give useful feedback to increase the students’ ability to use information
effectively in education. The students, too, develop self-assessment and reflective skills as they create online research
portfolios. The online resources model new technologyenhanced strategies for teaching and learning that support standards-based
teacher education programs in higher institutions. Other artifacts contained in A Portrait of Academic Life include digital
video vignettes of students actively completing course assignments and reflecting on the learning process, and instructor
reflections on teaching strategies to improve learning outcomes. As a culminating course activity, students showcase their
online research portfolios at a gallery walk. The students were tremendously excited to present the wealth of information
they have so carefully collected using the powerful technology tools available for their use in the teacher education program
at Towson University. The innovation and originality presented in the form of student online research portfolios offered fresh
perspectives to the honored guests. Likewise, it will enormously help students and faculty to see examples of the process
of transforming traditional research papers into rich, informative online research portfolios. |
