Background
Learning for Life College is an organization that offers educational programs to ABC Community. Learning for Life is considering the integration of eportfolios as part of their student assessment. They see eportfolios as having a three fold purpose: a formative, a summative, and a marketing purpose. The theory is that in the formative phase of an eportfolio, the student would use the portfolio to demonstrate progress in their course. In the summative phase, the student uses the portfolio to assess their program and outcomes institutionally. The marketing phase is accessed when the student uses the eportfolio to demonstrate to prospective employers that they have achieved a certain level of competency.
