MA1 Ellen Marie Murphy, Plymouth State University Mahara Workshop, Hands-On; Build You Own Instance; please bring your own laptop. This workshop will introduce participants to the Open Source e-portfolio system called Mahara. We will discuss how Mahara can meet the needs of institutional/program assessment, in addition to the myriad of ways it can be used by students to support their own learning and working goals. Participants will create their own portfolios and explore the social networking components the system affords.
MA2 Samantha Slade and Yves Otis, Co-Directors, Percolab Fine-tuning the Processes and Tools Supporting Reflection: Learning Through Sharing Do you ponder how to support reflective practice? Have you formalized activities that are helpful? Eportfolio practice emerges within a context with existing reflective processes and tools that are gradually fine-tuned and better instrumented; it’s a constant process of improvement. In this workshop, participants will share 2 examples of processes and tools they use to support reflection, be they guidelines, templates, online activities.
MA3 Jacques Reynauld,Faculty at HEC Montreal and Director, MATI Montreal Learning Portfolios: A Structiured Approach Inspired by program based principles, instructors are now designing fully integrated sequences of learning modules linked to learning outcomes where students are expected to post artefacts and associated reflexive comments. We show how this kind of learning/portfolio environment can be implemented in a structured model-based Google Web Toolkit framework.
MA4 Sharona Levy and Martha Bell, Brooklyn College (CUNY) How ePortfolio Transformed our Students, Faculty and Program: The BC SEEK "Benchmarks for Success" The Brooklyn College SEEK Department developed “Benchmarks for Success,” a multipurpose outcomes assessment ePortfolio project lauded by Middle States as “a very effective tool for . . . self-reflection on [students’] progress through the first year of college.” The "Benchmarks" project has carefully integrated faculty development, program assessment, pedagogy, counseling, and technology into a collaborative, recursive, and reflective process adaptable to any local college culture.
MA5 Candyce Reynolds and Judy Patton, Portland State University Integrating Integrative Learning in the ePortfolio ePortfolios offer opportunities to integrate students’ learning. However, the making of an ePortfolio does not guarantee an integrative learning experience. This workshop will focus on how we can facilitate integrative learning. An Integrative Learning rubric developed through a national project of the AACU will be shared. Participants will develop an ePortfolio assignment that could be used in their setting.

MP1 Terrel Rhodes and Wende Morgaine Garrison, AAC&U Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education Participants will learn about the VALUE rubrics developed through AAC&U's national, faculty-led project to articulate learning expectations for the broad set of essential learning outcomes for the 21st century. Participants will use selected rubrics to assess student portfolios of work to explore the uses of rubrics and portfolios for learning improvement and assessment reporting.
MP2 Gigi Devanney and Geoff Irvine, Chalk and Wire and Nicholas Hunt-Bull,Southern New Hampshire University Finding Common Ground: Assessing Gen Ed in the Curriculum In this presentation, we will discuss the challenges of engaging faculty from General Education subjects to support the need of Education schools to prove that their students have met certain state-mandated standards, designing relevant and meaningful assignments and the related assessment instruments.
MP3 Courtney Peagler, TaskStream, and Laurie Poklop, Northeastern University Translating Faculty Visions into ePortfolio Designs This workshop offers a process for designing and integrating eportfolios into a course/program to meet defined goals. We define questions about how eportfolios are structured, introduced, supported, responded to, and evaluated that will help faculty design eportfolios for a particular context. The presenters will share examples of designs to support varied needs. Participants are encouraged to apply the process model to their own projects.
MP4 Jeff Garis and Jill Lumsden, Florida State University ePortfolios: Emerging Opportunities for Universities: The Florida State Example The workshop addresses 1.) implementation of The Florida State University (FSU) e-Portfolio that enjoys institutional-wide support with 70,000 users since creation, 2.) Overview of themes and e-Portfolio designs included in the book: e-Portfolios: Emerging Opportunities for Student Affairs (Jeff Garis & Jon Dalton, Editors) and 3.) Demonstration of Symplicity Inc's new Reflections e-Portfolio based on the FSU model.

MF1 Helen Barrett, The "Grandmother" of ePortfolios Your Digital Self: Web 2.0 as Personal Learning Environment and ePortfolio Web 2.0 tools facilitate self-expression, reflection, online interaction and feedback. This hands-on workshop will focus on Web 2.0 tools that can be used to construct a PLE for a variety of purposes, and provide a broader look at using these tools within the context of ePortfolios and Digital Identity Development: Web Aggregators/AJAX Start Pages, Blogs & RSS Feeds, Social Networks, and Interactive Productivity Tools.
MF2 Helen Chen, Stanford, Tracy Penny-Light, University of Waterloo, and John Ittelson, K-20 California Educational Technology Collaborative Electronic Portfolios for Student Success: A Framework for Effective Implementation Electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) have become a popular and powerful way to document, demonstrate, and reflect upon what students know and can do. But what is the best way to implement them effectively to promote student success? This workshop provides participants with an overview of a framework for implementing ePortfolios to capitalize on the pedagogical, technological and strategic abilities of new technologies.
