ePortfolio Matters at KPU
Facilitators: Gillian Sudlow and Lisa Gedak
Are you an eportfolio champion willing to share your expertise? Or are you curious about eportfolios, and how you might implement them in your course, program, or professional life? Do you have ideas, big or small, about how eportfolios might align with your course or program outcomes? Are you wary of the technical competencies required for yourself or your students? Do you want to learn more about eportfolio pedagogy and platforms? This Community of Practice is for you!
Join other educators (eportfolio experts and muddlers) to share ideas and resources, work through challenges, build skills, and connect with PebblePad specialists. This will be a flexible Community of Practice that will support you regardless of where you are in your eportfolio learning – all are welcome!
Meeting Dates
The schedule is scaffolded to allow participants to build foundational knowledge of eportfolio pedagogy and the PebblePad platform, connect with other practitioners at various levels of engagement; connect with implementation specialists from PebblePad, workshop ideas, and reflect on challenges and successes. A proposed schedule appears below:
