INSE 495 Capstone Project

In the capstone course, students collect and organize artifacts and evidence of learning outcomes and reflect on their learning and professional growth. The student integrates this work into a single product, a Web-based ePortfolio, through which the student presents reflection on learning achievements and showcases professional competencies in connection with the their career goals. This is an integrative showcase of the student’s achievements that is created through analysis, synthesis, and refection. The course is assessed in four deliverables: Archived Curriculum Coursework Artifacts; Beyond the Classroom and Learning Philosophy Statement; Reflective Essays; and the ePortfolio Website.
