What is ePort
ePort is a tool for students to collect, organize, and reflect on their work.
ePort is built into the Oncourse environment for ease of access and resource building.
The primary goal of ePort is to document and enhance student learning at IUPUI.
Current definition of ePort
A collection of purposefully organized artifacts that support retrospective and prospective reflection and which document, augment, and assess student learning over time.
ePort Goals

anytime Work smarter and more efficiently Discover and demonstrate logical pathways to academic
success Enable faculty
Partner in students’ progress Provide rich content w/ greater ease
Enrich learning experiences Through learning across courses and co-curricular
activities and meaningful connections in the community and work.
How does it help students?
It provides a continuously accessible repository for all completed student work.
It enables students to construct customized resumes and presentations of their learning achievements.
It enables students to document and deepen their learning over time.
How will students be introduced and supported?
OrientationFirst year learning communities/TLCsGateway coursesCourses required for programs and
professional schoolsDepartment curricular decisionsCapstonesTransfers
How will it influence faculty workload?
First year learning communities & TLCs. Introduce ePort; Explicitly reference PUL(s) in assignments; Help with reflection; Require completion of one cell.
Faculty teaching first year courses. Explicitly reference PUL(s) in assignments; Encourage students to upload completed
assignments; Require completion of one cell if appropriate
Faculty workload continued
Faculty teaching integrator courses: Explicitly reference PUL(s) in assignments; Encourage students to upload completed assignments; Require completion of one cell if appropriate
Faculty teaching capstones: Consider including ePort completion with reference to the major as
part of the capstone experience (likely a departmental decision)
All other faculty: Explicitly reference PUL(s) in assignments; Encourage students to upload completed assignments; Consider completion of one cell as part of course work (but only if
appropriate for your course)
How will it influence student workload?
First year Learning about ePort as part of Oncourse and as
major tool for documenting learning related to the PULs;
Learning the basics: how to upload and organize documents, and how to write a reflection;
Completion of introductory level Department and program level
This will be dependent upon faculty decisions in each department and will likely evolve with time to meet the needs of each major.
Who decides about ePort use
Your students: All students will have access to the ePort in the fall of 2005. First year students will have ePort use incorporated into their learning communities.
Your department: Each department will make its own decisions about ePort in relation to department learning goals.,
Who provides support?
For students? Online tutorials UITS classes HELP in Oncourse 274-HELP
For faculty? Online tutorials OPD: workshops; sessions; grant programs 274-HELP
Reflection in ePort
