The authentic experiences of Faculty Learning Communities

The AAEEBL Conference at Stonehiil College demonstrates the successful efforts of a 'few' and the depth-interest of many.

Two years ago the Faculty Learning Communities at Mercy College originated in the work of small core group and within two years has grow to include over 100 committed faculty from each of our five Schools.

This Conference, the meeting everyone, the presenting & receiving, >> all became the 'good' of academia.

For me, the opportunity to articipate in a Mercy Faculty Learning Community has become the essence of 'authentic collegiality'. I feel the content of my slides contributes to AAEEBL's search for 'authentic, experiential, evidenced-based learning". Reflection on the Content demonstrates how the Mercy Portfolio Cohort supports my need to balance collaboration and independence. Collaboratively, I have learned from faculty in each of our five Schools, how to construct standards-based e-Portfolios. individually, I have dared to create Digital stories as a multimedia artifact.

Appreciation :)
