PT Portfolios Presentation

June 2005

PT Portfolios at American Physical Therapy Association Annual Conference On Saturday, June 11, faculty and students from the Physical Therapy Department and EdTech staff will present Digital Portfolios: A Creative Opportunity for Integrating the Academic Study and Practice-Oriented Experiences of PT Students at PT2005, the annual conference and exposition of the American Physical Therapy Association in Boston. Presenters will discuss the use of reflective and student-centered digital portfolios as a unique assessment strategy for organizing and integrating student classroom and practice-oriented experiences. The portfolio has the potential to showcase students' developmental progression through a physical therapist curriculum. A team of Northeastern University faculty, students, and educational technology professionals collaborated to design a conceptual matrix that was transformed into a Web-based template and portfolio builder.
