The instructor was asked by the head of the Communication department to help students create e-portfolios for graduation. The instructor researched best practices for e-portfolios and created a rubric. They held multiple class sessions to teach digital literacy skills and scaffold the process. Students learned how to use Wordpress to build their portfolios, and received feedback from industry professionals. Both successes and areas for improvement were identified, such as the need for more guidance on technology and examples. The partnership helped students gain skills for career preparation and take control of their online presence.

Class Meetings
12. Meeting 1: Goals
What is an e-portfolio?
Brainstorming ideas from good and bad examples of
e-portfolios from emailed list
Wrote down all comments in two sections on whiteboard
I prompted with questions for areas they didn’t come up with
themselves
Notes became their first draft of a rubric
Homework to decide their audience, find other e-
portfolio examples to emulate, and start to gather
content decided by the professor
13. Meeting 2: Technology
Determine level of experience
Very limited – only one person had created a blog or used a WYSIWYG
editor before
Digital natives are native consumers, not creators
Used Wordpress so the same workshop would apply to
everyone
Discussion of blog vs. webpage, post vs. page
Allowed for a variety of themes and pages
Buttonology
Sign up
Walk through of the admin panel
Create a Page
Create an About Page and copy over text they wrote in advance
Change page order in the Menu and play with subpages
Go over Rich Text Editor on each page
14. Meeting 3: Review with Industry Professionals
Scheduled a class meeting with two staff members of
COMPA
Discussion of what they look for in applicants and
their online presence (e-portfolio, social media, etc.)
Reinforcing current expectations and adding nuance
Volunteers to show their e-portfolios
Constructive criticism
15. Individual Meetings
Only mandatory out of class meeting time
Not all students met with me
Meetings often focused on technology and writing
for the web
Edited the Theme and Navigation for better usability
16. Meeting 4: Final Review
Every student shared their e-portfolio
Constructive criticism and feedback
Fixing issues with their e-portfolios conducted as
reference interviews
Still time to make final edits before submitting for a
grade

18. Successes
Control of their online presence
Becoming content creators and building skills for
their resumes
Making the connection between their work in school
and their future employment
Student take their information literacy skills and
apply them outside of writing research papers
19. Successes: Transferable Info Literacy Knowledge
Practices and Dispositions
Authority is Constructed and Contextual
Students need to show they are the authority on themselves
and their experiences. They can show a mastery of their
research.
Information has Value
Open platforms vs. pay for access.
Research as Inquiry
Organizing the content of their eportfolio.
Find other eportfolios to use as examples.
Troubleshoot technology issues by finding solutions online
from reliable sources.
20. Considerations
Partnership or Buttonology?
Very time intensive
Too much content for a single one-shot
Make no assumptions about technology experience
Scaffolding essential
Room to fail and time to succeed
21. Improvements
More handpicked examples to go over as a class
Find the industry professional e-portfolios ourselves
Find bad examples and be more explicit about explaining why
they are bad
Have the rubric from the beginning
Still have the first class discussion but then provide them with
the rubric based on best practices
Tech workshop more streamlined with less variation
between student
Their homework can be playing with Themes and then creating
the sub-pages where needed.
