ePortfolios Beyond the UB Curriculum

ePortfolios - created in the UBLearns Portfolio tool - can be used by faculty and staff for other purposes beyond instruction in the UB Curriculum.   

  • Portfolios can be used to facilitate information sharing among committee members, task forces, interest groups and learning communities.
  • Instructors can create a teaching portfolio to demonstrate teaching effectiveness.
  • ePortfolios can be created for such purposes as to support tenure and promotion dossiers and/or award nomination materials, to serve as a digital CV, or to be used to share course materials with students.
  • ePortfolios can be used as a platform to share information within working groups, with the UB community as a whole, and with people outside of UB.
