BUS eDoc

Purpose: Assessment, Learning, Showcase, and Employment

The Undergraduate Programs office will use electronic portfolios with freshmen in the Business orientation course. Undergraduate students in College of Business are expected to use this basic orientation course (Busad 101) to design their academic goals and plan out their course work for subsequent semesters. The goal is for all students, starting as freshmen and transfer students, to establish portfolios which will allow them to manage and maintain a history of work relevant to their academic goals as well as the academic and life skill outcomes established by the College of Business. The portfolio will be a vehicle to demonstrate communication and task skills as well as convey conceptual mastery to faculty, employers, and others who might evaluate the student’s learning and contributions.

We will plan to use the eDoc System developed on campus to support this project. The pilot for the project will be two business orientation classes, one of which is a business learning team course and the second a course designated for transfer students.

The intended outcome is for all business students to have access to an ePortfolio to display their academic outcomes and career-related projects.
