Tracking your college experience
Goshen College offers two opportunities for students to document, reflect, and convey the value of their college education:
- The Mahara academic portfolio – an online documentation tool designed to help students track their academic learning objectives and outcomes.
- The cocurricular record – an online documentation tool designed to help students record their non-academic activities.
Each tool complements the other and provides a fuller picture of a student’s education at Goshen College. Most people agree that a college degree alone no longer represents the full measure and potential of professional competence in today’s complex marketplace. Employers and graduate schools seek evidence of a broad education, both inside and outside the classroom.
In addition, both tools can be resources for writing resumes, online profiles, and creating a presentation portfolio (a personal promotional website for marketing to employers, graduate schools or customers).
