Abstract

REICH, STEVEN, E., “An Online Student Portfolio System”, Master of Software Engineering, December 2007, (Dr. Kasi Periyasamy, Dr. David Riley).

Becoming a teacher is a lengthy process for students in Wisconsin. One major requirement for state certification is that students complete a portfolio relating to the ten standards set by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. This document describes the development of a software system designed to assist students at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in maintaining these portfolios and allowing faculty members to easily view and comment on each student’s files independent of face-to-face communication. The software is a web application to be run from a university server that was developed using JSP pages, a SQL server, and a file server.

    Task Analysis Task

    The task analysis process began by establishing which skills the learners would need to master in order to build a comprehensive e-portfolio that meets ISTE-T standards. Since the school district website uses Schoolwires software, the first step was to establish the functionality of Schoolwires in relation to the ISTE-T standards. Are learners able to meet all of the requisite standards using Schoolwires or would they need to use additional applications? It was established that Schoolwires provides the functionality to meet ISTE-T either via the included software tools or by providing apps that allow learners to incorporate their own artifacts.…
