Thoughts on “How We Measure” in Cathy Davidson’s Now You See It

In the last few years, I have considered asking students in our M.S. in Management Information Systems program to construct an electronic portfolio. I have thought this would be valuable for our students; they would have a way to organize what they have done in all their courses and would reflect upon their work. Chapter 4 “How We Measure” in Cathy Davidson’s Now You See It gives me some support. Why not have a way to present accomplishments to current or future employers? Why not have a way to understand what a student has accomplished?
