INTEGRATING ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

The pen and paper assessment is widely used to measure students‟ cognitive abilities, but fails to measure their soft skills. The Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) reported that communication skills top the list of the employers‟ rating of skills/qualities 2002. Educationists thus seek for alt...

The Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) reported that communication skills top the list of the employers‟ rating of skills/qualities 2002.

Tertiary educational benchmarking standards now require variety and comprehensive assessment modes that are able to measure the so desired learning outcomes set by stakeholders.
