ABSTRACT
This paper presents the preliminary findings of the Electronic Portfolio Student Perspective Instrument (EPSPI) developed to ascertain student attitudes and intended uses of ePortfolios integrated in computing education. A student-centered stakeholder interaction model is presented to discuss the benefits of ePortfolio integration. We identified four constructs related to ePortfolios from a student perspective: employment, visibility, assessment, and learning. The instrument development process is discussed and the preliminary results of 22 students in a computing science program. Reliability and descriptive statistical information is provided. The authors advocate the integration of ePortfolios in computing education.
