Quality Assurance is a growing concern of higher education institutions throughout Pakistan. It is simply because of emergence of multiple institutions offering similar courses thereby giving plenty of choices to the students. Thus the choice is now wide and depends mainly on the quality of Education at the institutions. Higher Education Commission, Pakistan has also emphasized much on quality assurance measures at higher education institutions in Pakistan. Several measures have been suggested and implemented. This paper presents the impact of introducing one of the quality measures i.e. Teachers Portfolio in one of the institutes of higher education in Karachi. A format for teacher’s portfolio was designed. Before introducing portfolio, faculty was trained. Later, a coordinator was identified from faculty for evaluating the portfolio in the institution under study. A template was developed and provided to coordinator for structured feedback on portfolio. Finally, peer evaluation technique was used for the subjective evaluation of quality of the portfolio. The impact has been studied from portfolio report and feedback from teachers and students. The remarkable results show improvement in teaching and learning. Secondly, effective reporting energized faculty members as their interaction, teaching methodology and lecture organization improved greatly. It was noted that all of them maintained their portfolio and brought necessary changes that were suggested after peer review. Finally, they reported a high level of satisfaction on Teachers portfolio as it created a healthy competition among them.
