Web-based Portfolios for Teachers and Students

The aim of the present project was to increase and secure quality in the Sport Sciences educational programme.An internal web-based portal was introduced to the staff and students. The design was discussed and outlined in agroup consisting of staff members, support staff and programmers. It was developed in the same Learning ManagingSystem (LMS), Webzone, as was used for net-based learning. The portal was presented to the staff at two introductoryworkshops provided during the planning period for the coming educational year. The staff was also encouraged to usenet-based functions in their courses irrespective of if the courses were given over distance or at campus. The initiativewas evaluated by questionnaires to the staff and students respectively half a year later.Preliminary analysis of available data indicates that most courses in Sport Sciences today use net-learning to someextent. An important reason seems to be that the portal was designed in accordance with the LMS used for netlearning. Documentations of the courses, such as descriptions, course guides, and evaluations, are systematically andcontinuously saved in the portal. These functions seem to increase quality irrespective of changes among resourcepersons. Documentation is easily available for new staff
