Driving Research Questions• What was the impact of an ePortfolio Badge on a 1 credit pass/fail service learning

capstone course?

• Are ePortfolio Badges an effective extrinsic motivator? GOALS ORIENTATION THEORY • Do ePortfolio Badges meet a growth need (self-actualization, creativity, learning) or

deficiency need (ego/esteem: recognition, promotion, allow to learners demonstrate their talent/strengths)? MASLOW HIEARCHY OF NEEDS THEORY

• Did the ePortfolio Badge award criteria clearly articulate what was needed to demonstrate

successful competency on the learning goals? Did the eP badge increase a sense of autonomy (feeling personally connected to the material, meaningful, and/or understanding its value)? SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY

“I spent more time on it than I thought I would.”

“I enjoy looking back at it from time to time. I didn’t realize its value until after completion.”

“I was able to share with a former professor that taught me a seminar about urban poverty, so it was nice to show him a

comparison with rural poverty.”

“It was really easy to use and allowed me to display my creativity.”
