%X An important component of internships is the connection between students, universities and employers. ¡°High-quality internships . . . encourage contact between faculty and students as well as develop cooperation among students,¡± (Implementing and Assessing Internships, 2002, 67). This ¡°good practice¡± must exist to ensure good performance assessment (Implementing and assessing internships 2002). Students in an internship program were given web cameras and access to the software Breeze to use for a video journal. Focus groups were conducted to determine the students¡¯ opinions of using this type of assessment. Students overwhelmingly preferred this type of assessment and saw the benefits of using the technology beyond the internship.
