Welcome the Illinois Regional Electronic Portfolio Partnership
The Illinois Regional Electronic Portfolio (IREP) Consortium is a partnership of Illinois higher education institutions focused on using eportfolios as a means of facilitating student success, articulating competencies among institutions and sharing strategies for achieving organizational goals. IREP is an outgrowth of a portfolio development collaboration between the NIU General Education Program, the Office of Assessment Services, and Office of the Provost. NIU’s P-20 Center obtained IBHE funding for an IREP pilot project involving multiple Illinois institutions as part of engaging higher education institutions in implementing the Illinois Learning Standards, which provide foundational competencies for articulation.
IREP was launched on September 12, 2014. On that day, NIU hosted the Northern Illinois Electronic Portfolio Symposium. This symposium drew 30 representatives from 6 universities and 5 community colleges, including several P-20 Network institutions. A second IREP meeting was held on May 08, 2015 and was attended by 20 members of the IREP Consortium. Details and notes from these meetings can be found under the "Meeting Notes and Materials" section under the "Resources" link at the top of this page.
