Skeptic House Pilot

Using your SOU account and Google applications (Google sites, Google docs and YouTube) to store your files in one place online.
Using a website creation tool like WordPress to design an ePortfolio site, customize it, add content, and maintain your ePortfolio.
Giving the SOU ePortfolio Task Force feedback on the process.

Here's the benefit to you and your class:

The Center for Instructional Support Director, Vicki Suter (and others on the CIS team) will provide individualized training, consultation and support to help you use Google apps, and to create and maintain your ePortfolio.
Access your work from anywhere (your computer at home, at your friend's house, in class) for your entire time at SOU plus one year afterwards. You'll be able to collect artifacts of your learning — papers, pictures, videos, discussion posts, blog posts, compositions, poems.
Reflect on your work as part of making connections between where you are now and where you want to be, and to weave together previous experiences, courses, and what you learn at SOU.
Showcase your work to different audiences, for different purposes:
- Your instructor — to provide evidence of what you've learned, get feedback, and show your progress over time.
- Your class — to organize a project team's work and present it.
- As a resume for a potential employer or internship supervisor — to demonstrate your skills, knowledge and abilities.
- Your family and friends — to share accomplishments.
- The world — to present Skeptic House accomplishments.
- You — to reflect on all you've accomplished and celebrate, and show the world the person you want them to see.
