Using Online Education To Develop Graduate Portfolios - L. Dayle Yeager, DEC 2003
A summative portfolio is a document, either electronic or paper, that depicts attributes and corresponding competencies, artifacts, and statements of connectivity for the purposes of understanding and assessing an individual’s worth for a given setting or climate. Guidelines for not only creating and managing these documents but also bringing them to closure and assessment are demonstrated using online techniques. Portfolios are classified mainly by function or purpose. The more common classifications are formative and summative portfolios. Formative portfolios are easily described as those reflecting an assessment mode for given circumstances. Consequently, they are not used to establish grades but to denote weaknesses and strengths for a particular course or situation. A formative portfolio’s ultimate use is to improve or redirect rather than evaluate an individual. Summative portfolios depict an assessment mode executed ex post facto for individuals participating in given endeavors. Often related to a curriculum or degree program, they are used to denote attributes and proficiency levels for such individuals with the data being used to assign grades and/or validate certifications.
