EPORTFOLIOS IN CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS
IS A TWO YEAR OLT FUNDED NATIONAL PRO JECT THAT
COMMENCED IN LATE 2011, LED BY DR JENNIFER ROWLEY .
This project extends the use of ePortfolios to undergraduate students in
units of study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Western
Sydney, Queensland Conservatorium (Griffith University), Melbourne
Graduate School of Education and Curtin University, by creating ePortfolio
‘templates’ that provide students with a capstone product of their learning.
Creating an ePortfolio to document students’ academic and artistic learning
outcomes for enhanced employability in the arts sector is a key objective.
This will be achieved through tailoring the design of templates for each
specialization, training staff and students in these processes and embedding
assessable components within the curriculum. The undertaking of cross
institutional evaluations of the development of ePortfolio templates will assist
in the integration of ePortfolios for Arts students at Australian universities.
