In this space, I proudly document my experiences with ePortfolio integration into the undergraduate and graduate English as a New Language (ENL) license-addition programs in the School of Education at IU Indianapolis during the Fall 2026 semester.

ePortfolio Integration: Course and Curriculum Initiative
ePortfolio Integration: Course and Curriculum Initiative
Reflecting campus priorities to support equitable access to engaged learning for all IU Indianapolis students, the Institute for Engaged Learning (IEL) will focus the 2025-2026 academic year funding to support ePortfolio integration at the course level. The goal is to increase, improve, and sustain ePortfolios as part of the curricular structure assignments and activities in a course or series of courses. Given this priority, we seek new and veteran faculty dedicated to implementing ePortfolios in new ways or deepening/transforming their ePortfolio-engaged initiatives in credit-bearing experiences. For applications that meet these criteria, the IEL will offer support through additional funding streams, summer/faculty development session, communities of practice [CoP], and online resources.
My ePortfolio Institute Proposal Overview
My ePortfolio Institute Proposal Overview
“My goal is to create a cohesive ePortfolio experience embedded throughout the English as a New Language (ENL) program for undergraduate students in the Urban Teacher Education program (early childhood, elementary, and secondary majors) who are adding ENL certification. The program includes four ENL content courses—EDUC-L441, L421, L403, and L436—followed by eight weeks of ENL student teaching (EDUC-M470).
Over the past year, I designed a capstone experience with an ePortfolio component for the M470 course. Building on this work, I plan to intentionally scaffold ePortfolio activities across the four previous ENL content courses, so they become an integral part of the program and culminate in the capstone during student teaching.
Each course will include dedicated time for students to develop their ePortfolios, with feedback provided by faculty and ENL mentor teachers. These scaffolded experiences will support pre-service ENL teachers in articulating their learning and professional identity, preparing them to share their work with authentic audiences, including colleagues and future employers. This approach is expected to strengthen reflective practice and improve graduates’ job placement outcomes.”
Below is the sketch I made on May 8, 2026 of my vision for the ENL Teacher Professional ePortfolio. Let's see if I can actually build the vision over the fall 2026 semester!
