COURSE-ORIENTED ePORTFOLIO

My course-oriented W231 ePortfolio examines all of the Writing projects throughout the semester. This ePortfolio was an opportunity to experience how to create a website and create a unique way of turning in assignments. As part of the design process, we learned writing strategies to grab an audiences attention through strategic design.

PROJECT-ORIENTED ePORTFOLIO for our COMMUNITY CLIENT

FEATURED IN the IUPUI Engaged Learning Showcase: https://getengaged.iupui.edu/showcase/2022/project-based-learning/english-w231-professional-writing-skills/olaniyan-scholars-program-recommendation-report-getting-african-american-students-interested-in-interdisciplinary-undergraduate-research-at-iupui.html

The Olaniyan Scholars Program Recomendation Report examines the challenges students of color face finding undergraduate research opportunities at IUPUI. Our team started the project by researching best practices in undergraduate research trends and successful undergaduate research programming. The research included searching scholarly databases first, then expanded to internet-based searches to look at undergraduate research programs at other universities. After one hundred hours of digital research, the team assessed IUPUI student experiences through a local study and distributed a survey to students and faculty to get their feedback. Our report analyzes the results and suggests practical options to support undergraduate research diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at IUPUI.

Where I am today and how ePortfolios played a role

The group oriented ePortfolio was accepted into the 2022 IUPUI project based learning showcase

The ePortoflio has helped me with communicating with others as well as learning how to create something unique.

The project based learning course has helped me gain insight on how the professional world works and made written communication easier as I seek job opportunities such as music gigs

The course based ePortfolio encouraged me to create an ePortfolio showing all I did at IUPUI

My thoughts on the panel discussions:

I truly enjoyed being able to speak on the panel about ePortfolio's. I was able to gain experience from the professional world being that this was the first panel I have ever spoken on. ePortfolios are an extrodinary new learning tool that help students gain insight on organization and a professional setting. For that, I'm thankful I got to share my experience and hear about others experiences as well!
