A Report from the Field: How ePortfolios Can Improve Student Transition from Secondary to Post-Secondary Education in Alaska
Thacker, Shamai
International Journal of ePortfolio, v12 n1 p17-33 2022
This report explores the development of a bridge between secondary and postsecondary education through professional development and college preparation by examining the current processes that high schools are using to address student success outside of the counselor setting. This research seeks to understand how Alaska schools can use an ePortfolio-supported curriculum to better prepare their college-bound students to improve first year student retention in the university system. This pilot study focused on improving various programs' performance within the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and identifies how an ePortfolio platform as a high impact practice can facilitate student success and assessment in various programs to improve learning experiences for new UAA-bound students.
