PASS-PORT is a web-based system that provides university students, faculty, and administrative staff a tool to gather, demonstrate, and evaluate
the performance data on any student, including pre-service teachers.
- PASS-PORT provides students a tool for the creation of standards-based portfolios,
a mechanism for sending and receiving feedback on portfolios, and portability
of portfolios to other universities.
- PASS-PORT provides university faculty with a system to collect data, manage and
evaluate student performance based on coursework, field experiences,
and clinical practice. University faculty can use this data to improve
their teaching, scholarship, and service.
- PASS-PORT provides institutions with a mechanism to directly address
a variety of accreditors' and certifying agencies' standards (such as NCATE, AACSB, ABET, SACS, and more)
that require institutions to have a viable method of collecting
and analyzing data on program qualifications, initial student and
advanced graduate performance, and unit operations to evaluate and improve
the unit and its programs.
The original implementation team consisted of a working group of individuals from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette , University of Louisiana System, and Xavier University of Louisiana. This included Ryan Brooks who is now the ILAT's Chief Technical Officer.
Louisiana deans of Colleges of Education and members of the Technology Consortium for Teacher Education (TCTE) provided much needed critical feedback on the functional design of the system.
Faculty and candidates in the Division of Education at Xavier University of Louisiana and faculty and candidates in the College of Education at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette contributed countless hours testing and provided ideas on how to enhance the functionality of the system.
