Reflections on Implementing an ePortfolio as a Capstone Project for an LIS Master's Degree Program
Tricia Kuon; Jodi Philbrick; Diane Gill
Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v65 n4 p455-461 2024
In fall 2019, an electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) was implemented as the capstone project requirement for the Master's degree program with majors in library science and information science at the University of North Texas. This reflection provides a synopsis of the process of implementing an electronic portfolio as a capstone project, including the following details: what an electronic portfolio is, why it is beneficial for students, how it can be used, best practices in implementing an ePortfolio, suggestions for implementation, and benefits versus challenges of incorporating the project. We hope that sharing our experience in implementing an ePortfolio component in a Master's degree program may be helpful to other universities hoping or planning to implement an ePortfolio as a capstone project or even as an extended résumé.
