How can I integrate students' portfolios into teaching and examinations?

In higher education, a portfolio is understood to be a "folder" of "collected sheets" (lat. portare and folium) containing various materials (results, documentation, reflections, etc.). Students can use a portfolio to document and reflect on their learning processes, learning outcomes and developed products; a portfolio can also be used for examinations. The function of a portfolio must be precisely defined in the module description or course description and related to the intended learning outcomes/competences (ILOs) in order to provide students with guidance for their work.

What

In the workshop, participants work on the following questions:

What competencies should students demonstrate and reflect on in their portfolio?
What do these intended competencies mean for the type of portfolio? (tasks, forms of presentation, structure, etc.)?
How can teachers introduce and support work with portfolios? (incl. working with self-reflection)
What forms of feedback can be integrated (e.g. peer feedback, learning partnerships)?
What can assessment criteria look like and possibly be specified together with the students?
How can the work involved in supervising and assessing portfolios be reduced? (e.g. through peer review and peer assessment)
