This document summarizes a presentation about designing interactive ePortfolios to engage faculty in professional development. It discusses how Kapi'olani Community College is using ePortfolios as part of its "Engaged in Education" program to facilitate faculty professional development and goal setting. Faculty create ePortfolios to collect artifacts, reflect on their work and progress toward goals. The program aims to provide intrinsic motivation and improve teaching and learning. Research will evaluate the impact of ePortfolios and the program on faculty engagement and students.

22. Categories of E-Portfolio Software Created as part of my study of different online tools: http://electronicportfolios.org/categories.html “Not just tools for telling [presentation] but more tools for talking! [conversation]” - Julie Hughes, University of Wolverhampton Conversation transforms!

23. Balancing the 2 Faces ofE-Portfolios

24. Types of E-Portfolio Implementation Working Portfolio The Collection The Digital Archive Repository of Artifacts Reflective Journal(eDOL) Collaboration Space Portfolio as Process-- Workspace (PLE)“shoebox” Presentation Portfolio(s) The “Story” or Narrative Multiple Views (public/private) Varied Audiences(varied permissions) Varied Purposes Portfolio as Product-- Showcase

26. Structure of E-Portfolio Types Portfolio as Process/ Workspace Organization: Chronological – eDOL (Electronic Documentation of Learning – U. of Calgary) Documenting growth over time for both internal and external audiences Primary Purpose: Learning or Reflection Reflection: immediate focus on artifact or learning experience Portfolio as Product/ Showcase Organization: Thematic – Documenting achievement of Standards, Goals or Learning Outcomes for primarily external audiences Primary Purpose: Accountability or Employment Reflection: retrospective focus on Standards, Goals or Learning Outcomes (Themes)

27. Google Sites ePortfolioshttp://sites.google.com/site/eportfolioapps/

28. Process Purpose. Decide on the purpose for the portfolio. What are you trying to show with this portfolio? Collection/Classification.What artifacts will you include in your portfolio? How will you classify these entries? Reflection. Blog entries provide an opportunity for reflection "in the present tense" or "reflection in action." Connection/Interaction/Dialogue/Feedback. This stage provides an opportunity for interaction and feedback on the work posted in the portfolio. Summative Reflection/Selection/Evaluation. Students would write a reflection that looks back over the course (or program) and provides a meta-analysis of the learning experience as represented in the reflections stored in the blog/journal entries. Presentation/Publishing. The portfolio developer decides what parts of the portfolio are to be made public. REPEAT for each learning activity or artifact.

29. WordPress/Movable Type ePortfolioshttp://sites.google.com/site/eportfolioswp/

30. “every day-ness” How can we make ePortfolio development a natural process integrated into everyday life? Lifelongand Life Wide Learning

31. Making ePortfolios Stick Will your faculty want to use the e-portfolio process? Will ePortfoliotools be available to students after graduation? Gartner Group “Hype Cycle for Education” has ePortfolios "Sliding Into the Trough"

33. Move beyond text-only artifacts Encourage development of multimedia artifacts Introduce alternative strategies for reflection Blogging Digital storytelling

34. Dan Pink’s Drive Elements of True (Intrinsic) Motivation Autonomy Mastery Purpose

35. Why Digital Stories in ePortfolios? Reflection is the “heart and soul” of portfolios Digital Stories can humanize any model of ePortfolio Digital Stories add VOICE

36. Do Your e-Portfolios have VOICE? Individual Identity Reflection Meaning Making New Literacy “When words are infused by the human voice, they come alive.” - Maya Angelou

37. Convergence

38. Wordle.net This following Word Cloud was created collaboratively by educators around the world, who contributed keywords that came to their mind when thinking about Digital Storytelling. Words that appear larger were used by more contributors. http://langwitches.org/blog/2008/07/27/digital-storytelling-part-ix-wordle/

39. Ongoing dialogue about e-portfolios My Google Group: Researching Web 2.0 Portfolioshttp://groups.google.com/group/web2eportfolios EPAC: http://epac.pbworks.com/ Electronic Portfolio Action Committee Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) – a professional organization for e-portfolios in education http://www.aaeebl.org AAEEBL’s first National E-Portfolio Conference planned:Boston (co-located with Campus Technology Conference) July 19-22, 2010 AAC&U E-Portfolio Day planned:Washington, D.C., January 20, 2010 IUPUI Assessment Conference in October – e-portfolio track

40. My Final Wish… May all yourelectronic portfoliosbecome dynamic celebrationsandstories of deep learningacross the lifespan.

43. Engaged in Education @ Kapiolani CC customized professional development for faculty (instructors, counselors, coordinators) uses electronic portfolios to help faculty become more engaged in their own professional development goals ultimate goal of the Engaged in Education project is to facilitate more engaged faculty toward engaged and successful students

44. Glossary CELTT = Center for Excellence in Learning, Teaching & Technology EE = Engaged in Education EEP = Engaged in Education Participant EEC = Engaged in Education Coordinator CCSSE = Community College Survey of Student Engagement FaCES = Faculty Confidence & Engagement Survey

50. How it works Participants undergo intake interview with empathetic listener, buddy, CELTTy, dept. chair Interview notes are converted (by EE team) into plan (1-5 year time frame) EEC & EEP fine tune plan EEP implements plan : doing, documenting, reflecting EEC monitors, coaches, connects, problem-solves EEP populates an ePortfolio, with artifacts and reflections EEP “graduates” with an EE designation

51. Extrinsic Incentives EE designation in Schedule of Courses EE door plaque Peer recognition in various forms (e)Portfolio facilitates promotion process Other incentives yet to be determined BUT….

52. Intrinsic Motivation What motivates individual educators to do the ePortfolio? Purpose: commitment to student learning a/o other aspects of one’s primary duties Autonomy: participants choose if they want to do it; and shape the product Mastery: participants feel a sense of accomplishment in achieving their goals Daniel Pink, Drive: the surprising truth about what motivates us, Riverhead Hardcover, 2009.

55. Collect, Select, Reflect Matrix

56. Progress Portfolio(can morph into Showcase) With each artifact added, EEP is asked to reflect on the activity that produced the artifact What? So What? Now What? Reflections can be in the form of blogs, so members of the group can interact Encourage development of e-dentity

57. Sample Artifact

58. SampleReflection 4T's: My Freshman Year: oct. 10, 2008 What: I was asked to fill in as facilitator for Friday's 4T's session … Our conversation was interesting, though, because we focused on some of the defining differences between generations, the younger generation (millenials) being those who were the primary targets of this book. … The differences seem to center around communication styles, attention span and work ethic, and the role of technology. So What: the crux of the issue seems to be, given these differences, to what degree do we use this information to adapt our teaching … Len suggested we assume the attitude that the technology WILL change. What can we do to teach the skills and attitudes that will rise above and stand independent of whatever technology is or will be. Very thought provoking! Now What: … for my own teaching, I will continue to think about Len's comment, about technology-independent skills. This is especially interesting as I start this Leeward CC online course on online courses :) I just did my first reading tonight, and will post my first forum exercise as soon as I get some clarification from the teacher on what he's asking.

59. Sample Reflection What? Teaching Philosophy Workshop, May 8, 2009, at KapCC CELTT, presenters, Sally and Susan. I’ve attached the powerpoint that the presenters emailed us after the workshop… They showed us some examples, and gave us some prompt questions to get us thinking about aspects of our primary duties. …. So What? The most salient point … The wordle exercise was fun, but I don’t know if it’s helpful to generating my philosophy. It’s maybe better as a revision tool, seeing what ideas are most frequent. I’ve attached my wordle from the current dossier’s teaching philosophy section. (see attached) It’s not surprising to me that STUDENTS is big and bold. What is interesting is that REFLECTION and PROCESS were a lot smaller than I thought they’d be… Now What? … I need to build more metacognition into the Ling 102 class. I had it there before, but I removed it to make room for the Interlanguage Phonology Project … I need to bring back the Final Reflection, but … make sure that the students are aware of and reflecting on the outcomes. There’s still time to work this into my Spring syllabus.

60. Matching Artifact www.wordle.net

61. Another Reflection - no artifact What: I haven't been blogging because I've been guilty of the "but it's all in my head" syndrome. …The all-day workshop was designed for women … of academia… The most transformative session for me came first; a presentation by Linda Johnsrud… She gave specific tips for women, such as to weigh carefully flattering offers to move out of academia and into administration unless you are a full professor… She talked about timing your moves from and between these institutions, and the need sometimes to leave your institution or even the state in order to advance. So what: The "so what" for me was that while I was originally quite enthusiastic about this event, as the date crept up, I kept looking for excuses not to go … Networking - a phrase many like me avoid because it sounds so manipulative - is valuable because you get to see other facets of the academic experience Now what: The "now what" takeaway for me from this is to keep on going. I told Linda Johnsrud that some colleagues of mine (Kathy and Wendy) would love to take her out for lunch and get to talk to her in a quieter setting. She seemed enthusiastic…

62. Learning vs. Showcase Portfolio Learning - Formative Selection and Reflection process is toward evolution of skills and professional identity Showcase- Summative Selection and Reflection is toward demonstrating fulfillment of certain outcomes

66. Initial Research Questions (How) do ePortfolios provide evidence that EEPs are improving learning & teaching? (How) do ePortfolios facilitate the professional development process? (How) do ePortfolios address the needs of instructors, counselors & coordinators?

67. Methodologies To measure impact of EE program on Faculty: FaCES Survey in pretest and posttests To measure impact of EE program on students (or equiv): Mini-CCSSE survey with instructor-specific questions that address their EE goals (parallel questionnaire for non-instructional EEPs, minus the CCSSE questions) To measure impact of ePortfolio on faculty: formative questionnaire with interpretive analysis of reflection question and cataloging of eportfolio usage To measure impact of ePortfolio dissemination: focus groups with EE instructors using eportfolios in their classroom

68. Now What? Work with rSmart to finalize version 2.6 of portfolios -> matrix, blog tool, showcase skins Train EEPs on e-Portfolio Migrate EE e-Portfolios to new version when it’s ready Administer FACES pretest Additional EE cohort in Spring ‘10 Look at how EE e-Portfolio meshes with Faculty Self-Assessment
