LAR-285 Digital Skills Assessment and Reflection

LAR-285 Digital Skills Assessment and Reflection, Fall 2022

This assignment is designed to measure students’ digital literacy near the end of their time in the program, and to give them time to reflect on their strengths and find opportunities for developing digital skills. The assignment is given about halfway through the capstone course, shortly after students are introduced to the ePortfolio assignment.

Using the free European Union’s Digital Skills Assessment tool, students answer a series of questions about information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety, and problem solving.

As a part of developing their ePortfolio, students will use the information gained through this assessment as they consider the various aspects of presenting themselves to potential employers and academic institutions, including highlighting their strengths and building confidence in their ability to navigate a variety of digital contexts.

LAR-285 ePortfolio Guidelines

LAR-285 ePortfolio Assignment, Fall 2022

The ePortfolio assignment is one of the major components of the capstone course. Students are asked to reflect on their time in the liberal arts program and create a digital portfolio showcasing their best work and highlighting the skills they’ve gained as liberal arts students.

The ePortfolio is designed not necessarily to be presented to other academic institutions or potential employers, but to serve as a reflective tool for students as they prepare to take the next steps towards their education or career goals. It also build digital skills as they consider the content, context, and aesthetics of their digital presentation of self.
