Abstract
There is a great demand for developing human resources in scientific fields. Accordingly, universities are requested to play a more important role in fostering these resources with "practical competency", not just general knowledge in the field. Therefore, a focus should be shifted in reconstructing the system of developing human resources on campus. In this paper, we propose a system called "Role-Model based e-Portfolio (RMP)" which applies information of the graduates from Japan Women's University (JWU) over many years. Using information taken from those roll models in the database, it aims to set the evaluation gauge of the portfolio. Transcripts of those former students at the time of graduation are used as index, so the system features easy introduction and handling. In addition, it enables examinees (e.g. current students) to compare their ability at the point of use with that of roll models, sorted by occupation types. As a result, we can visibly confirm their ability by estimating distance from the standard. Thus, accumulated information through this system can be used for self-promotion on such occasions as job interviews, or for teachers in measuring achievements. The RMP system adopts an open source e-portfolio (OSP), expanding its analysis part.
