P³T³: Purdue Program for Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology

As of Fall 2004, the College of Education migrated to a new electronic portfolio system named TaskStream.

Portfolios are a key element of an overall program that is designed to help teacher candidates attain the knowledge, dispositions, and performances necessary to become effective teachers. Purdue University has committed to implementation of a Unit Assessment System, a performance-based approach to teacher licensure that will include the use of student portfolios, by June of 2001.
Each student will develop an electronic web-based portfolio that will:

be used for self-reflection on learning,

document professional growth, and

provide the foundation for performance-based licensure.

Technology provides the means to create and maintain a dynamic portfolio, one that can include multiple representations of student thinking and one that can change over time as students grow and mature as professionals. The student portfolio will consist of a variety of multimedia materials that may include artifacts such as materials designed by the student, videos of classroom experiences, lesson plans and written reflections, photographs, mentor's or instructor's comments, classroom observations, research projects, and written or oral commentaries. In addition to showcasing students' development as practitioners, developing a multimedia portfolio will require that students develop the skills (e.g., scanning, digitizing, digital video and audio production, web page development) necessary to create it. The portfolio integrates instruction, learning, and assessment, and it puts a special emphasis on the use of the technology itself. The P3T3 project developed a dynamic web-based portfolio management and utilization system that supported students' portfolio development and faculty members' use of the portfolios in instruction and assessment.
