Description
Summary:While e-portfolios are increasingly used in higher education graduate professional programs (Underwood & Austin, 2016), few studies provide an overview of e-portfolios, particularly in the helping fields (Wakimoto & Lewis, 2014). The following article provides an overview of how a student affairs graduate preparation program implemented the use of e-portfolios to assess graduating Masters students and how students perceived the process of creating their e-portfolio. Details about the implementation process and recommendations are provided to assist other programs that wish to integrate e-portfolios.
