Quality assignments are necessary to build a worthwhile program. While e-portfolios can provide insight into a candidate’s readiness for becoming a practitioner in the field, a more authentic assessment is needed than a candidate’s ability to complete research assignments online and closely follow rubrics. On-site and university supervisors play a large role in witnessing leadership development. Graduates must be able to demonstrate both a solid familiarity of educational research as well as proven capacity to integrate the latest research findings into practice. An authentic assessment of student ability may contribute to a more rigorous evaluation of the program. A successful e-portfolio could provide a wealth of data for evaluation for the program itself, students’ academic development, changes in effective uses of instructional technologies, and a diversity of experiences in the applications of those technologies.
