In the past, I have been able to stand behind them and look at the screen. Now I will have to develop alternative mechanisms to answer their questions. The emphasis in this case is on evaluating the body of work created over an entire semester rather than a one-time evaluation. With support from the campus Educational Technologies Board, I have developed a Web-based portfolio system that simplifies course logistics. All assignments are in digital form using Adobe's Portable Document Format.
Instructors can quickly access student work sorted by student and by assignment.
These Web pages are created dynamically using information stored in an Access database which can be easily modified.
