I'm Dr. Karen Caldwell, an adult educator and curious lifelong learner. Please call me Karen. I live in Eastern Ontario and work in the Thousand Islands region.

I have a doctorate in Mind, Brain and Teaching from Johns Hopkins University and the learning experience - largely online and mostly from overseas - changed me. 

In all the right ways. 

So did living and working in several countries: Dominican Republic, South Korea, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, the U.S. and my beautiful homeland, Canada. These days, I teach online at SUNY Potsdam and do consulting work in my region, South-Eastern Ontario.

E-portfolio Connection

I use e-portfolios in my own job searches as well as in my training and teaching. I created this site so I could connect with you and help you to get started with e-portfolios, including to:

• create one yourself,

• incorporate them in your course work, or even

• use e-portfolio development in your training and professional development work with adult learners.

When I say "course work" I'm talking to you as a student or instructor. Even if your course doesn't require it, ask your instructor if you can switch out one of the assignments for this one. It'll pay off. Trust me.
