Abstract
Faculty in higher education are increasingly asked to document, assess, and make public their teaching practices. Course portfolios are a valuable medium for capturing the scholarly work of one’s teaching by combining inquiry into the intellectual work of a course with a careful investigation of the quality of student understanding and performance. It enables a faculty member to document the careful, difficult, and intentional scholarly work of planning and teaching a course. Since a course portfolio can be read, evaluated, and used by others, it offers mechanisms for valuing teaching as scholarship and for improving student learning. This poster will highlight the creation of a national internet repository (www.courseportfolio.org) for course portfolios written by faculty who teach at postsecondary institutions. Additionally, we will feature the process by which a person can offer feedback and external assessment of a course portfolio.
