Tracking student learning outcomes within college courses is important for observing their academic preparation for future career. Many library and information education institutions are now encouraging the use of ePortfolio system to help students document their school achievements and better present themselves for future job seeking. This study examined the use of and reactions to the ePortforlio system of the Fu Jen Catholic University, launched in Fall, 2010. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered during 2012 to analyze students' experiences with and suggestions for the improvement of the ePortfolio system. 66 students' self-reflections and 12 student interview data were gathered. An online survey based on the previous analyses was then developed and distributed to the LIS students who used the system. A total of 140 responses were gathered and used for quantitative analysis. Results of the study revealed that students' reactions toward the ePortfolio system were positive. Students perceived the benefits of using ePortfolio in professional development and career placement. Peer influence encouraged the sharing of content. Students also highly agreed that longterm investment of time and use of external incentives were essential for promoting use of the ePortfolio system. It is also suggested that the functions of ePortfolio system needed to be enhanced in order to encourage more students' use. |
