Thank you all for participating in our "When Done Well" ePortfolio Institute Kickoff/Workshop. It has been wonderful to work with you and see how you plan to incorporate ePortfolios into your class.

As part of the Institute, we watched two presentations from faculty who integrated/optimized ePortfolios the previous semester as they presented to our Community of Practice [COP]. You can NOW access the entire presentation, featuring other faculty, on our shared Google Sites page.

Kickoff Follow-Up: Update Your Participant Page + Summer Consult + Student Survey Links

This is a great time to visit your Institute participant page to make some updates. Our IEL team added your initial proposal to your participant page. You should add reflective commentary on your HIP-related course goals and your role as Primary Investigator [PI].

After that, upload the pre-version of your public-facing syllabus. Later, when it's updated, please add the updated version of your public-facing syllabus—we'll set September 10 as an unofficial deadline.

• This summer, please schedule a consult with a member of the ePortfolio team.

• Contact Tara taracall@iu.edu if you are interested in getting help with template creation.

For quick access to the participant page, visit our shared ePortfolio 

We are here to help if you experience any challenges updating and uploading your work.
