ePortfolios allow students to create an electronic representation of their learning and experiences over the course of their time at the college. ePortfolios can be especially beneficial to employers when seeking to hire recent graduates. They are also helpful in allowing students to reflect on their learning over time.

High impact educational practices (HIPs) are educational practices that research has shown to increase rates of student retention, student engagement, and persistence to graduation for all students across diverse backgrounds. Faculty are strongly encouraged to utilization one or more of these HIPs whenever possible in order to improve active learning. This page provides a brief overview of the basic HIP approaches along with examples of how they may be incorporated into course designs.

Common Elements of HIP strategies

Requires student effort and commitment to learning
Helps students build substantive relationships with peers and faculty
Helps students engage one another across differences thus challenging students to develop new ways of thinking and responding to new people and situations
Provides students with rich, useful feedback helping them to see feedback as a tool for growth and improvement
Helps students apply what they are learning and adapt the information to new situations
Affords students the opportunity to self-reflect and become aware of themselves as a person as well as encourages life-long learning
