A member of the North Dakota University System, Valley City State University (VCSU) offers baccalaureate degrees in education, business and the liberal arts to a student population of 1,100. In 1995, VCSU adopted an electronic portfolio initiative and in 1996 became the second four-year laptop institution in the USA, providing laptop computers to all of its faculty and students. This article describes VSCU's grant-funded best technology practices project, which enables students to complete electronic portfolios on CD-ROM, which is proving to be an effective strategy for improving teaching and learning. © 2003, MCB UP Limited
