Watermark Student Learning & Licensure (formerly Via) is a modern and flexible platform that offers innovative tools to drive student learning assessment, portfolios, and field experiences. Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L) creates a single location for students to complete assignments, organize artifacts and reflect, and log their time for field experiences.
The SL&L ePortfolio system allows students to create online portfolios to showcase their learning and share with employers. It also offers faculty more effective ways to develop courses, provide timely feedback to students, and engage students in the learning process while providing a means of collecting and assessing student work.
Students upload their work to SL&L and create ePortfolios, faculty evaluate student work and provide formative feedback, and the institution measures student achievement of key learning outcomes.
