Co-Curricular Records

Right problem, wrong solution?

Vision of Co-Curricular Records

Page 6: Open Badges  and  ePortfolios: “We Don't Need No Stinking Co-Curricular Records”

What Problem are We Solving?

• Student Engagement ≈ Student Success• Value learning outside the classroom

– Track, measure & authenticate:• Leadership, community service, athletics, special

interests, specialized skills and knowledge• Evidence-based support for further goals:

– Academic• Scholarships, awards, bursaries, transfer to senior

college (community college to university) graduate school…

– Employment• WBL, internships, placements, permanent jobs

“when they are going out to search for a job, they are able to submit their co-curricular record along with their transcript and show their whole, overall student experience.”

Employability (Trent U 2013)“Employer Responses to the Co-Curricular Record”

• Top Skills or Qualities– Problem Solving Abilities, Adaptability/Flexibility,

Enthusiasm/Dedication, Communication (Written & Verbal), Personable Nature, Ability to Learn, Reliability

• Types of activities– Longer-term commitments demonstrate a greater level of

student investment; leadership roles are valued.

Page 9: Open Badges  and  ePortfolios: “We Don't Need No Stinking Co-Curricular Records”

Three Pillars of the CCR

• Build a database of eligible elements– Volunteer activities, events, awards, non-formal learning– Provided & validated by campus organizations– Selected & tracked by students

• Connect experience to learning– Linked to competencies, outcomes– Self-reflection prompts, checklists: “achievement

statements”• Produce the (paper) record

– Database report– Institutional branding– Security features

ExampleCarleton University

Page 11: Open Badges  and  ePortfolios: “We Don't Need No Stinking Co-Curricular Records”

Good for Campus OrganizationsFeatures and Benefits• Microsite CMS for online campus

communities• Communication: pages, galleries,

newsfeeds, news letters, forums, social media gateways

• Member management, self-service• Event management, calendar

consolidation, room bookings…• E-commerce, budgeting tools• Integration with other systems: academic,

work placement, career, etc.

Page 12: Open Badges  and  ePortfolios: “We Don't Need No Stinking Co-Curricular Records”

Good for Students?Issues with Co-Curricular Records• Only “approved” (campus) activities

– No academic service/experiential learning, research

– No off-campus employment, community service

• Portal-driven, mostly time-based• Little/no reflection, integration, alignment

– Few tools or opportunities, especially after upload

– No ePortfolio integration• A paper report from a database (?!)

– A “laundry list”: linear, siloed, inflexible, archaic

Employability (Trent U 2013)“Employer Responses to the Co-Curricular Record”

• Top Skills or Qualities– Problem Solving Abilities, Adaptability/Flexibility,

Enthusiasm/Dedication, Communication (Written & Verbal), Personable Nature, Ability to Learn, Reliability

• Types of activities– Longer-term commitments demonstrate a greater level of

student investment; leadership roles are valued.• Interest in CCR as a document: minimal

– “Students should use the document as a tool for reviewing their co-curricular experiences and reflecting on what skills/learning achievements were gained from each.”

– “Any relevant co-curricular experiences should be incorporated into the resume, and potentially referenced in the cover letter.”

– “Reference the skills identified in the job posting….accuracy and conciseness are valued in applications.”

Learning ePortfoliosElectronic portfolios (ePortfolios) are collections

of digitally represented artifacts that:•document practice•include reflection•integrate experience•map to goals and/or standards•promote deep learning and knowledge transfer

Research Says… “It Takes More than a Major”…• Findings of 2013 survey of 318 employers for

AAC&U:– 93%: candidate’s demonstrated capacity to

think critically, communicate clearly, & solve complex problems is more important than their undergraduate major

– >80%: an electronic portfolio would be useful to them in ensuring that job applicants have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their company or organization.

Questions that need asking

• Do you have an ePortfolio?• Is an ePortfolio just another way of getting a

grade?• Is ePortfolio just another way of “reporting up”?• If ePortfolios are used for learning assessment,

are you prepared to assess for prior learning?• If it is a tool for transition:

– What happens when a student brings an ePortfolio to your institution, say from high school?

– Will your students want to keep their ePortfolios after they graduate?

– If they do, can they? Is this a favour from your institution, or a deliberate strategy?
