Group Modelling and Integration of Multiple Perspectives in the Functional Selection of a New Technology: The Case of a Next-generation Electronic Portfolio System

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, 2011

Emphasis is given to the group decision-making process that led to the development of a next-generation ePortfolio selection model and how analytic hierarchy process methodology, implemented in the Decision Lens ™ software (Decision Lens Inc. 4250 North Fairfax Dr. Suite 1410, Arlington, VA 22203), allowed the development and integration of decision-making models from the perspective of each of the stakeholders: faculty, administration and students. The group decision-making process described in this paper can be applied to the functional selection of any new technology where different organizational perspectives are present.

Conceptualizing the Functional Requirements for a Next-Generation E-Portfolio System

The use of e-portfolio systems in higher education has not grown as anticipated by early adopters... more The use of e-portfolio systems in higher education has not grown as anticipated by early adopters when the potential benefits first became apparent, yet the promise remains. The vision of a flexible tool that meets multiple goals--serving as a showcase for student work, promoting self-reflection, supporting assessment and accreditation efforts, moving with students as they left academia--can succeed if each higher education institution plans for the adoption of e-portfolios by starting with the fundamental requirements for its unique community. The first steps in adopting any information technology consist of deciding what purpose the system will address and what functionality the target institution requires. For an e-portfolio system, these are particularly challenging tasks, given that the e-portfolio community--vendors and practitioners alike--have neither established a one-size-fits-all definition nor a corresponding set of standard functionalities. Higher-education institutions...

Emphasis will be given to the group decision-making process that led to the development of an ePortfolio selection model and how AHP methodology and the group features of the Decision LensTM software supported the model development process. Future steps in the ePortfolio selection process and lessons learned in using the Analytic Hierarchy Process at a group level will be also discussed.
