Course Portfolios
Course portfolios as a form of professional development and sharing of teaching experience.
A course portfolio may serve several functions. First, it can serve as an archive of course organization and material that can be used as a reference or guide by subsequent teachers of the course. Second, it can be a tool for collaboration. Third, it can be a modular component of a larger teaching portfolio. Consider, for example, the web-based "Resource Center" that was developed for the university-wide "Interdisciplinary Technology & Society" course.
