Underscores the continuity of learning that occurs before and beyond the college experience.
Highlights multiple literacies
Provides a venue for building a dynamic, on-going resume.
Encourages dialogue between students and faculty to determine which projects and writing assignments best represent a student’s linguistic and cultural competency and that should, therefore, be included in their archive.
