CIT eDoc aims to help Ph.D. students in the Curriculum and Instructional Technology (CIT) program in College of Education create annual portfolios during their doctoral program. The CIT eDoc has multiple functions:

• It is foremost a learning tool. It helps students select, compile, and evaluate evidence of their academic performance based on established program criteria. It also allows for collaborative learning through integrated discussion and research tools.
• It helps build vibrant communities of scholars and professionals. The “democratic” nature of the portfolio allows students, faculty members, and outside colleagues to collaborate equitably and respectfully to enhance each other’s professional growth.
• Students can release their portfolio to select members of the ISU and non-ISU community.They can thus repurpose their eDoc for different audiences and purposes.
• It is a way to showcase and market one’s work, and also an effective and authentic way to assess student learning.
• It also serves as an effective tool for faculty to advise and guide students through their doctoral program
