New developments and advancements in informational technology bring about several alternative avenues for educators to select in supporting and evaluating their students’ learning. Online portfolio is a fairly new technique in this regard. As the online education grows, use of online portfolio becomes more vital for educational programs. At Virginia Tech, in the program of Instructional Technology Master's of Art Degree (ITMA), an online portfolio evaluation course is designed with the goals of reviewing and evaluating students’ achievements throughout their master’s degree education as well as evaluating the program itself. Evaluation standards put forward by Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT) are used as a framework in developing this course. In this presentation, we first discuss types and content of portfolios and design principles for creating portfolios. Next, we describe the portfolio evaluation course and explain briefly evaluation processes involved in the course. We then discuss AECT standards and how the portfolio evaluation course was informed by these standards. Succeeding the close examination of this course and its use for the Virginia Tech case, we discuss which regulations and standards should be considered in order to successfully apply this online portfolio evaluation course in educational institutions in Turkey.

Design and development of an online formative peer assessment environment with instructional scaffolds
Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yıldırım, Zahide (2022-08-01)
Although formative peer assessment (FPA) has become a prevailing learning activity in different educational settings, there are not enough suggestions on how to structure it with instructional supports in online environments to optimize its benefits. Therefore, this study aims to propose design guidelines for the development of an effective online FPA environment with instructional scaffolds in the context of writing activities at high schools. To this end, an online FPA environment was designed on the basi...

İslim, Ömer Faruk; Gürel Köybaşı, Nergis Ayşe; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2016-06-01)
Open Educational Resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW) target barriers of education and learning by sharing knowledge for free to benefit self-learners, educators, and students. This study aims to investigate the use of OER both as a supplementary resource for a traditional course and as a resource for self-learners. First, the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate students toward using a General Physics Laboratory OER and about how those resources contributed to the outcomes of the course were dete...
Promoting efl pre-service teachers’ self-directed learning through electronic portfolios: a case study
Ayan, Didem; Seferoğlu, Gölge; Department of English Language Teaching (2010)

A qualitative case study research method was applied to analyze the data gathered from pre- and post-IC...
Promoting and investigating pre-service middle school mathematics teachers' TPACK-practical development in the context of an undergraduate course
Koştur, Merve; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2018)
The purpose of the study was to enhance and investigate the technological pedagogical content knowledge-practical (TPACK-P) development of pre-service middle school mathematics teachers (PMTs) through the Technology Use in Mathematics Education (TUME) course aiming TPACK-P development in three pedagogical domains: Assessment, Planning and Design, and Enactment. TUME course was designed and implemented based on four principles driven from the TPACK and TPACK-P frameworks which were transformative approach, c...
Utilizing occupational complexity levels in vocational interest assessments: Assessing interests for STEM areas
Toker, Yonca (2012-04-01)
With an aim to improve vocational interest assessments geared toward the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas, we developed a new assessment by incorporating occupational complexity levels. Occupations which correspond to Holland's realistic and investigative themes were identified together with their complexity levels using the information in the Dictionary of Holland Occupational Codes. How the required skills, abilities, and work activities differ in occupations with different c...
