process that are often invisible but critical to development. 2 All too often in education, we are focused only on final products: the final exam, the grade, the perfect research paper, mastery of a subject. But how do we get students from here to there? What are the intermediate stages that help students develop the skills and habits of master learners in our disciplines?” 1 To me, “invisible learning” represents the development of the thought processes behindthe solution to a problem. What am I thinking as I first look at a problem? What do I do first andwhy? I imagine a single student sharing a piece of paper with me as I sketch and talk. Wouldstudents find this an effective form of help? The only way

The concept of hypertext, presented by Ted Nelson in1965, brought forth the possibilities of using the computer to form documents of arbitrarystructure4. With the advent of the personal computer and the development of hypertext systemsin the mid-1980s, it was a simple jump for educators to promote the use of electronic portfolios.This eliminated the “at most one” problem as it is easy to provide multiple copies of anelectronic document. Hypertext also allows a better structural representation of the thoughtprocess involved in the learning process, as it can better show how a portfolio entry was theproduct of the synthesis of a variety of ideas.With the rise of the World Wide Web there has been increased

Analyses of performance and predictor data, as well as surveys of theliterature and of non-retained students, produced several recommended actions based ondocumented best practices. The resulting 5-year retention project, funded by NSF-STEP, beganin August of 2010 and focuses on first-year retention initiatives, namely: a faculty mentoring program for first-year
