Portfolio Fellows 2018-2019:

Faculty Portfolio Fellows are essential leaders in the development, implementation, and ongoing support of digital portfolios as part of the Dominican Experience. Faculty Portfolio Fellows commit to (1) developing and delivering two training sessions, in collaboration with Peer Portfolio Fellows, to colleagues in their department or students in a class; (2) participating in regular meetings of Fellows to craft an interdisciplinary rubric for assessing portfolios; and, (3) providing feedback to students on their portfolios. The Fellowship appointment is for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Peer Portfolio Fellows will enable Faculty Fellows to gain insights into what is needed to establish standards for quality and assessment of portfolios over time. Peer Fellows commit to lead, or participate in, the following activities: (1) develop and deliver two training sessions in collaboration with Faculty Portfolio Fellows, either to colleagues in your department/school or for students in a class, the latter at the request of the Academic Advising and Achievement Office. Topics should be determined in consultation with colleagues or based on student need. Possible topics include assignment design, portfolio alignment with learning outcomes, or technical skills; (2) Participate in regular meetings. Monthly meetings with Faculty and Peer Portfolio Fellows across departments to develop an interdisciplinary rubric for assessing portfolios; and, (3) provide feedback on students' digital portfolios for your department or school. Feedback may take the form of one-on-one sessions, written feedback, or participating in portfolio presentations for classes. The Fellowship appointment is for the 2018-2019 academic year.

A Domain of One's Own in a Post-Ownership Society

By Audrey Waters, 8/23/16
"Maha Bali has written a blog post asking why we talk about “a domain of one’s own” and “reclaim your domain” since people never really own their domains. They merely rent them, she points out. "My understanding of ownership is that something belongs to me. That I have already acquired it or been gifted it. And I own it until I die, no additional payment required. If I own it and I die, it passes to my heirs.""

ePortfolio - the LMS for Students?

A Q&A with Trent Batson, By Mary Grush, C-Level View Feature, 02/16/16
"ePortfolio technology has evolved over the years — or maybe it's more accurate to say that the understanding of eportfolio and its application, or eportfolio practice, is still evolving. How will eportfolio find its place and differentiate itself among education technologies? Trent Batson, president of AAEEBL, the eportfolio field's professional association, comments on the current understanding of "eportfolio"."

Reflective E-portfolios: One HIP to Rule Them All?

By: David Hubert, Jason Pickavance and Amanda Hyberger, AAC&U Peer Review, Fall 2015, Vol. 17, No. 4
"As colleges and universities embrace high-impact practices (HIPs), we can envision a future—as yet a fantasy world—where they become more common, anchored in curricular pathways and designed to improve the retention and graduation rates of new majority students. At the same time, we see the accelerating adoption trajectory of electronic portfolios (e-portfolios), which suggests that they might also become commonplace in our higher education system. What would the educational landscape look like in this future where HIPs and e-portfolios took prominent places in the lives of students at colleges and universities?..."

AAC&U Peer Review from the Guest Editor

By: Terrel Rhodes, Winter 2014, Vol. 16, No. 1
"Recently, e-portfolios have become one of the most discussed innovations in higher education, even though the pedagogy has been around since the 1990s. I say “pedagogy” because, as the articles in this issue of Peer Review demonstrate, the real educational benefits of e-portfolios come from a set of pedagogical practices, not the technological platform itself. Across the country, e-portfolio initiatives are emerging on a range of campuses as digital communication becomes more commonplace in the lives of students, faculty, and institutions. This issue of Peer Review illustrates the multiple ways in which e-portfolios are being used on campus to enhance student success, as well as the evidence of e-portfolios’ positive effect on student learning."
