abstract = {Two different post-secondary professional education programs
from two different cities (New York and Madrid) took a similar approach in
using ePortfolio to facilitate high-impact behaviors (HIBs) among their students
while showing how the ePortfolio enhances and supports other high impact
practices (HIPs). In Madrid, ePortfolio was utilized to support a Matumaini
Project as it integrated the academic work carried out in the classrooms to help
a community in Kenya. On the other side of the Atlantic, the ePortfolio was
implemented in order to connect didactic learning from the classroom to the
clinical practice in the local community. Both case studies suggested that the
ePortfolio combined with other high-impact practices plays a complementary
role with other High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in higher education. Our statistical
analysis sheds light on the relationship between seven high-impact behaviors
present when two high-impact practices are combined. The correlations, both
combined and by city, demonstrate the importance of promoting two highimpact
behaviors in particular, which are: 1) quality interaction between the
students and the professors and 2) providing opportunities to relate academic
learning to real world experiences. When these two high-impact behaviors were
maximized, our data suggest that the use of other high-impact behaviors
examined in this study expanded as well. This research also confirms the
importance of providing students a way to relate their classroom learning with
real-world experiences.},
