University ePortfolio (UePortfolio) for Senior Year Entrants
(For Senior Year Entrants admitted in 2024/25)
UePortfolio is a 3-credit point “capstone” course which requires students approaching the end of their undergraduate studies to reflect critically on the knowledge and skills acquired in their studies – within General Education, in their disciplinary and professional courses, international exchanges, and block practices or internships and in their lives beyond the classroom – and to develop an integrated view of how and where they position themselves in relation to their future goals, plans, and aspirations. Students will be required to submit annotated UePortfolios based on their experiences, reflections and artefacts gathered in their undergraduate studies. The course will enable students to articulate their learning experiences in both formal and non-formal learning, by reflecting critically on the value and significance of what they have learned, making connections to their lives, and imagining or plotting their own futures.
Students are not allowed to take UePortfolio together with any exchange programmes, block practices, field experiences or internship programmes. Students can opt for ONE UePortfolio course (from a set of elective courses listed in the “Course List” below) to be their 3-credit-point “capstone” course.
Remarks:
For Senior Year Entrants admitted in 2023/24 or before, please contact General Education Office directly regarding the UePortfolio course information.
Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs)
By the end of the University ePortfolio course, students will be able to:
| CILO 1 | Communicate (orally and in writing) personally, reflectively and critically about their undergraduate experiences (including, but not restricted to, GE), utilising the University structures of the Learning Framework drawing on Graduate Attributes, i.e. PEER & I, and GILOs, in particular Critical Thinking and Communication Skills, the GE Learning Outcomes (GELOs); |
| CILO 2 | Make, and reflect critically on, connections between what they have learned in their undergraduate studies and specific aspects of their own lives and experiences beyond the classroom; |
| CILO 3 | Articulate their own beliefs, values and goals in line with directions of developing into a person who can display professional excellence, think critically to make moral judgements, learn and engage in lifelong learning and live a worthwhile life. |
Remarks:
The CILOs listed here are extracted from GEJ4020 “Consolidating Undergraduate Learning through University ePortfolio”. CILOs may vary across different UePortfolio courses. For details, please refer to the respective UePortfolio course outline under “Course List”.
Course Structure and Assessment
The UePortfolio course will comprise several class meetings and consultations and involve students working independently and in small work teams. Students will attend 5 two-hour class meetings at the beginning of the course to apply skills for reflective thinking and writing as well as engage in interactive reflective sharing and discussion. Divided into peer study groups, students will then meet with their course supervisors and fellow group members (as critical friends) in consultation sessions for reflective writing and preparing their individual University ePortfolios.
The course assessments include the following components:
- Reflective Entry on selected undergraduate experiences with the following two elements:
(a) Self-reflection on class sharing, discussions, and after-class self-contemplation
(b) Critical feedback on peer study group sharing and discussions
- Individual Presentation of UePortfolio
- Individual University ePortfolio that consists of
(1) written reflections organised around a coherent theme or a focus area consolidating undergraduate learning experiences and displaying professional competencies, accompanied with
(2) a multi-media profile (3-minute video, animation, motion graphics, etc.) effectively conveying the individual’s career aspirations and the strategic planning undertaken to achieve those goals
