CMPSC-395  ePortfolio  Assessment  Rubric  –  Name________________________   E-portfolio  Purpose:  The  primary  purpose  of  creating  and  maintaining  this  ePortfolio  is  to  students  in  obtaining  employment.    This  showcase  of  work   selected  by  the  student  from  his  or  her education,  career  and  life  experiences  should  be  well  organized,  inter-related  and  reflected  upon.    Reflections  are   an  integral  aspect  of  critical  thinking  where  the  student  should  include  specific  skills  learned,  why  those  skills  are  beneficial  to  the  student  and,  if  

appropriate,  what  the  student  would  have  done  differently  to  enhance  the  experience.  

Category   Exemplary  (20  pts)   Proficient  (15  pts)   Partially  Proficient  (12  pts)   Incomplete  (5  pts)   Professional  &   Technological  Layout  &   Design  -­‐  Is  there  a  logical   flow  and  ease  of   navigation  throughout   ePortfolio?  

ePortfolio  appears  very   professional,  appealing  &  flows   well.    ePortfolio  demonstrates  an   exemplary  use  of  digital   technologies.  Pages  are  well-­‐ balanced,  all  navigation  links   work  seamlessly.      

ePortfolio  is  well  organized   and  predominately   appealing.    Multimedia  is   included  and  appropriate.     Proficient  use  of  digital   technologies.        

The  logical  flow  of  the  ePortfolio   is  somewhat  confusing.     Multimedia  is  included  but  is   used  randomly  and/or  without   purpose.    Minimal  use  of  digital   technologies.  

ePortfolio  appears  to  be   very  rushed  and  lack   professionalism  in  the   design,  organization,  and   use  or  lack  thereof  with   digital  technologies.  

Quantity  and  Quality  of   Artifacts  –  Is  there   significant  evidence  of   valuable  skills  learned   and  applied?  

Significant  amount  of  artifacts   and  samples  of  work  that  provide   a  variety  of  applied  learning.       Various  experiences  are  provided   that  demonstrate  a  valuable   range  of  skills  that  have  been   learned  and  applied.      

There  are  several  artifacts   and  work  samples  provided.   Artifacts  contain  some   variety  and  demonstrate   solid  applied  learning.  

Few  artifacts  and  work  samples   are  related  to  the  purpose  of   the  e-­‐portfolio.    Artifacts  show   little  variety  and  demonstrate  a   minimal  level  of  applied   learning.  

Most  artifacts  and  work   samples  are  unrelated.     Artifacts  show  little   variety  and  demonstrate   very  minimal  applied   learning  

Critical  Thinking   through  Reflection  &   Self-­‐Assessment.  Is  it   clear  what  was  learned,   why  it  was  important  and   what  could  have  been   done  differently?  

Robust  reflections  are  thoughtful   &  demonstrate  evidence  of   significant  achievement  and  self-­‐ assessment.  All  reflections   contribute  to  the  overall  value  of   the  ePortfolio.    Several  hyperlinks   connect  various  areas  in  the   ePortfolio.  

Reflection  describes  efficiently   why  artifacts  in  the  ePortfolio   demonstrate  achievement.     Proficient  critical  thinking   demonstrated.  Connections  are   made  between  course  learning   and  other  areas  of  life,  both   personal  and  professional.  

Few  reflections  describe  why   artifacts  in  the  e-­‐portfolio   demonstrate  achievement.     Reflections  are  limited  and   remain  on  a  surface  level.    Little   to  no  self-­‐assessment.  

Reflections  are  missing,  and   those  that  are  there  do  not   describe  why  artifacts  in   the  ePortfolio  demonstrate   achievement.  No  self-­‐ assessment.  

Career  Purpose  &   Personalization.    Is    the   ePortfolio  leveraged  so   that  a  potential  employer   can  get  a  relevant  glimpse   of  the  person  beyond  that   of  a  resume  or  LinkedIn?    

Students’  career  purpose,   passions  and  creativity  are  very   clear  throughout  ePortfolio.   Professional  summary  page  is   linked  to  relevant  social  media   sites.  Expressiveness  of  unique   personality  is  clearly  apparent.       Has  a  relevant  contact  page.  

Career  purpose  is  clear  and   ePortfolio  serves  its  purpose.   There  is  some  creativity  and   some  connections  are  made   with  social  media  sites.     Expressiveness  of  personality  is   evident  in  the  content.    Has  a   functioning  contact  page.  

Career  purpose  is  rather  generic   and  ePortfolio  capabilities  are  not   really  leveraged.    Uniqueness  of   the  person  is  difficult  to  ascertain.   Not  quite  sure  how  skills  will  be   utilized.      Minimal  contact   information.  

ePortfolio  is  generic  and   basically  a  digital   resume.  No  social  media   connections  exist,  and  a   unique  personality  is  not   evident.  The  purpose   and  value  of  the   ePortfolio  are  unclear.  

Quality  of     Communication  Skills  -­‐   Is  there  a  professional  level   of  writing  &  other  forms  of   communication   demonstrated  throughout   the  ePortfolio?  

Writing  shows  excellent  career   and  employee  worthiness.    The   writing  is  free  of  grammatical   errors.      Content  in  multimedia   demonstrates  excellent   communication  skills  and   professionalism.  

   Writing  shows  good  career  and   employee  worthiness  and  is   largely  free  of  grammatical,   spelling,  punctuation  errors.       Multimedia  is  included  and   appropriately  demonstrates   communication  skills.  

Writing  shows  fair  career  and   employee  worthiness.  The  writing   includes  some  grammatical,   spelling,  and  punctuation  errors   that  distract  the  reader.         Multimedia  is  utilized  randomly   without  purpose.    

Writing  struggles  with   career    and  employee   worthiness.  There  are   numerous  grammatical,   spelling,  and  punctuation   errors.      Minimal  or  no  use   of  multimedia.
