More Details

You are invited to join a group of colleagues who will be reading and discussing the book High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: A Catalyst for Student, Faculty, and Institutional Learning, by Bret Eynon and Laura M. Gambino.

The publisher’s website describes the book as follows: 

“The authors identify how the ePortfolio experience enhances other high-impact practices (HIPs) by creating unique opportunities for connection and synthesis across courses, semesters, and co-curricular experiences. Using ePortfolio to integrate learning across multiple HIPs enables students to reflect and construct a cohesive signature learning experience.”

The group will be facilitated by Robert Lawrence, Department of English, and will meet three times:

  • November 1, 15, and 29
  • 2-3 PM
  • LT&ITC, Library 348 

Each participant will be provided with a copy of the book in advance of the first meeting.

Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible.

If you have questions, contact Sheila Otto at Sheila.Otto@mtsu.edu

 

The Learning, Teaching, and Innovative Technologies Center (LT&ITC) is located in the James E. Walker Library, Room 348. Please visit our website at www.mtsu.edu/ltanditc for more information about services available at the Center.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.

If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
