Welcoming IJeP and PEARL to AAC&U

Beginning with this issue, the International Journal of ePortfolio (IJeP) joins the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) as one of its official publications. This change in publication home for the journal coincides with directions set forth in AAC&U’s new strategic plan, which emphasizes three cross-cutting areas of focus: building evidence, expanding capacity, and accelerating advocacy and outreach. IJeP and the “Publications on ePortfolio: Archives of the Research Landscape” (PEARL) database, also joining AAC&U this fall, offer mechanisms to address all three cross-cutting areas in regard to ePortfolios, AAC&U’s newly recognized eleventh High Impact Practice.
