Providing pointers to competency related
products: After you have created a
competency-related product, named your product, placed
your product in the appropriate folder, and created a
hot link to your product on the appropriate domain
page/s, you are required to submit the URL for your
completed product in the student database. The ITSC
Reviewer then, uses the URL that you provide to view
and assess your product. Logically, a Reviewer can not
assess your product if you have not completed this
task.
· To submit the URL for a competency,
click on the "Answer" button following each
competency and paste the URL in the space provided.
Tracking your progress: The "Progress" link
will query the database and provide a summary screen
showing you which competencies you have addressed,
competencies yet to be addressed, and which have been
assessed as complete by a Reviewer.
Tracking ITSC Reviewer's progress: After you
request a review of your portfolio or a subset of ITSC
competencies, you can go back into the student
database to view the Reviewer's progress. You must log
back into the student database in order to determine
if a competency has yet been reviewed. If an ITSC
Reviewer has, in fact, assessed the product that you
provided for a competency, this will be evident in the
student database. Checking in the student database on
Reviewer's progress will help you to determine if
product revisions are necessary and also to
potentially make and submit revisions quickly.
The 62 competencies listed in the student database
are color-coded and the color-coding will help you to
track your progress. A list of the colors and their
meaning follows:
Sky Blue - A pointer to a product
(URL) has not been submitted by the student.
Green - A pointer to product (URL) was
submitted by the student, ITSC Reviewer assessed
product, and Reviewer marked product as "Pass" and
completed.
Red - A pointer to a product (URL) was
submitted by the student, ITSC Reviewer assessed
product, Reviewer marked product as "No Pass" and a
pointer to a revamped product (URL) has not yet
been submitted by the student.
Purple - A pointer to a product (URL) was
submitted by the student, ITSC Reviewer assessed
product, Reviewer marked product as "No Pass", a
pointer to a revamped product was submitted by the
student , and the revamped product has not yet been
reviewed.
Displaying and maintaining a log of reviewer's
feedback: During portfolio reviews, the ITSC
Reviewer will provide comments and/or feedback for
each product that was assessed. Examples of comments
and feedback might include but are not limited to:
- No Pass - All criteria were not addressed.
- No Pass- Demonstrates a superficial level of
understanding.
- Pass - Demonstrates a proficient level of
understanding.
- Pass - Demonstrates an advanced level of
understanding.
It is worth noting that you can not view
feedback/comments by accessing a competency through
the 10 Areas listed in the database. In order to view
the comments/feedback that was provided for each
competency, you must first click on "Progress". After
you click on the Progress button, a list of the 62
ITSC competencies will be displayed. Select a
competency, then click on the competency's "Review"
button and the Reviewer's comments/feedback will be
displayed.
Portfolio Product Revisions
After your portfolio is completed and then
reviewed, sometimes there is a need to revamp a
product. If this occurs, you are required to maintain
the original product within the portfolio and to also
display the revamped product.
If you are required to revamp a product, we suggest
that you add another link for the competency in your
portfolio and then create a link to the revised
product.
