e-Portfolio Awards

During the two-year Boston University College of General Studies (CGS) program, CGS students record their learning journey on an e-Portfolio where they publish assignments, interdisciplinary reflections, self-assessments, and their final Capstone project.

CGS gives awards each year in recognition of outstanding student e-Portfolios. Faculty submit nominations, and student winners are chosen based on three criteria: completeness of the e-Portfolio; visual appeal, such as interesting and relevant art work, photography, and video; and personalization of the e-Portfolio. Up to four students receive awards– two sophomore students and two freshman students.

A flyer geared toward students with details about how to submit their e-Portfolio for Awards consideration is linked here. Please feel free to share this link with students and/or include it in your course syllabi.
