We are excited to announce that the opening session of Day 3 of this year’s Teaching and Learning Symposium will be presented by Helen Cheng entitled, From Outcomes to Evidence: Using ePortfolios to Document Learning.
ePortfolios are more than just a technology: they imply a process of planning, keeping track of, making sense of, and sharing evidence of learning and performance. Often described as a “meta” High Impact Practice, using ePortfolios well requires embracing a set of pedagogical practices and an understanding of learning called Folio Thinking. Drawing upon a framework of integrative learning, this workshop will provide guidance on where to begin in designing and implementing an ePortfolio approach to meet the learning outcomes of your course or program. We will share illustrative examples, case studies, and resources, and we encourage instructor questions.
Helen L. Chen, Ph.D. is a Research Scientist in the Center for Design Research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and co-founder of the Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab in Stanford Career Education. Helen serves on the advisory board for the Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) and is a faculty affiliate for American Association of Colleges & Universities’ Institute on ePortfolios. Her research is focused on engineering and entrepreneurship education, reflective practices, certificates and non-degree credentials, and reimagining how learners communicate their stories about what they know and what they can do through their professional online presence.
