LiveText Faculty e-Portfolio

What is an e-Portfolio?

An e-Portfolio, or electronic portfolio, is a vehicle for collecting and presenting evidence that demonstrates your experiences, growth, and achievements over time. Faculty e-Portfolios are a good way for faculty members to present their skills, experience, service, past work, and scholarship in one electronic document. Faculty members can use their e-Portfolios when they are being evaluated and/or being considered for a rank promotion. e-Portfolios allow faculty to edit and expand as they collect more experiences and awards, as they add more achievements to their professional record, and as they progress in their teaching career.
