Portfolio assessment Portfolio assessment is a systematic means of accumulating and commenting on homework samples by students. Such samples can display or clarify the learning processes of a particular student. Correspondingly, peer assessment enhances a student’s important skills (eg, problem solving) and motivation to learn, thus making it an excellent assessment strategy to evaluate adult learners. Peer assessment can also be performed through a networked system. In this study, the system incorporates two distinct functions: one focusing on peer-assessment with the other focusing on portfolio-assessment. Functions designed to facilitate peer-assessment include on-line submission of work, on-line grading and the ability to view suggestions from peers. At the end of a semester, the portfolio-assessment allows students to select their best-written assignment.
