Final Paper and ePortfolio
You will create an ePortfolio that includes redesigned activities from prior
coursework in the Masters of Arts in Education (MAED) Program that demonstrate
your competency with the nine Program Learning Outcomes, which are also the
Course Learning Outcomes for EDU 695. Additionally, you will write a narrative
reflection of your experience with the program and the ePortfolio construction. The
overarching goal of this Final Paper and ePortfolio assignment is to showcase
learning from the MAED Program in a consolidated, web-based format that can easily
be shared with anyone: colleagues, potential or current employers, friends, family
members, and others. For the ePortfolio, you use a system called Pathbrite. Within
this ePortfolio, you will tell the story of your educational journey and value of your
personal MAED experience as it applies to the labor market. Remember, the
ePortfolio is your chance to show what you know and are able to do in the practice of
teaching and learning with technology. You will submit a link to your ePortfolio and

2. attach your paper portion of the assignment in a Week Six discussion for preliminary
feedback by peers and the instructor before the final submission. The earlier you
submit in the Week Six discussion the more opportunity you have for input from
your peers and instructor to improve your work before the final submission of this
assignment.
Creating the Final Paper and ePortfolio
Please include a link to the ePortfolio (Pathbrite) within the paper portion of this
assignment. As needed, refer to the MAED program learning outcomes (PLOs) list.
Then, create your final assignment to meet the content and written communication
expectations below.
Content Expectations
• ePortfolio Components (5 Points): Include at least one artifact demonstrating
mastery for each of the nine MAED Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs).
• ePortfolio Design (3 Points): Design the ePortfolio to be professional in
appearance. Be sure to exemplify effective and ethical uses of technology so that the
ePortfolio logically organized in a visually appealing way.
• Narrative – Ranking (5 Points): Rank and discuss the importance of each Program
Learning Outcome to your individual work setting, including an explanation of each
ranking and its value to you in your learning environment or your position. Discuss
how you currently use each PLO in your work setting and, if PLOs are not used,
discuss ways you might begin to use them in your current or future work setting. If
you are unemployed or otherwise do not work in a teaching role, you can either (a)
use a previous work location, or (b) imagine the perfect work location (e.g., your
dream job), and use that fictional work center to rank and discuss each PLO. The
overall goal of this section of the narrative is to rank each PLO according to its
importance to you as an educator or potential educator, starting by listing the most
important PLO to you first.
• Narrative – Challenges/Solutions (5 Points): Discuss the design and development
challenges you experienced while creating this ePortfolio in Pathbrite and explain
how you overcame those challenges. If you feel that you did not face any challenges
during your design/redesign, please state that there were no challenges and clearly
support this statement with a discussion of the details, or reflect and think deeply
about your design/redesign process and offer a detailed narrative of how the
process excelled. Examples of challenges include: (a) getting accustomed to specific
technology to communicate and showcase your learning, (b) difficulty ranking the
PLOs, (c) finding creative ways to display your newly learned skill sets, and (d) tying
together concepts and theories into one cohesive digital collection. When you
explain how you resolved or worked around challenges you need to consider how
you became proficient in using various digital tools, how you linked PLOs to your job
responsibilities, how Internet searches uncovered new ways to utilize your talents,

3. how peer collaboration produced ways to effectively consolidate multiple concepts
and theories in one package, and how ePortfolio examples sparked creative thought.
Written Communication Expectations
• Page Requirement (.5 points): Include one page per discussion of each of the nine
MAED Program Learning Outcomes and a tenth page for the narrative response for a
total of ten pages (not including the title and reference pages).
• APA Formatting (.5 points): Use APA formatting consistently throughout the
assignment.
• Syntax and Mechanics (.5 points): Display meticulous comprehension and
organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar.
• Source Requirement (.5 points): Reference three scholarly sources in addition to
the course textbook. All sources on the references page need to be used and cited
correctly within the body of the assignment.
