Engaged in Education Faculty (teaching & non-teaching) work with

coordinator to design customized professional development plan

Faculty carry out EE plan supported by an electronic portfolio, designed by Ikayzo of Honolulu. 

Faculty use the ePortfolio matrix to upload artifacts and reflect on different areas of professional activity ranging from Student Success to Personal Wellness.

Blogging and social tagging feature enhances the social reflection aspect of the ePortfolio.

Sample EE Plan: Harold (fictitious EEP, real plan)

“Social construction of knowledge is also an important tenet of portfolios. “…learners must engage in reflective

discussion of shared experiences from multiple perspectives if they are to convert information into knowledge and master the collaborative creation of meaning and purposes” (Dede, 2000, cited in Cambridge, B. 2001.)

Quintessential form of social reflection: blogging

Distilled form of social reflection: tagging

community of practice Waiting for ePortfolio launch

1) What is the impact of the Engaged in Education program and its ePortfolio on the engagement of faculty?

2) What is the impact on participants’ students (or equivalent)?

impact of EE on Faculty:

FaCES Survey in pretest and posttest

impact on students (or equiv):

mini CCSSE (Cohort I: La Guardia)

SALG (Student Assessment of Learning Gains)

impact of ePortfolio on faculty:

formative questionnaire & cataloging of ePortfolio usage (Cohort IV: U. of Cumbria)

impact of dissemination:

focus groups with EE instructors using ePortfolios in their classroom

Faculty Confidence & Engagement Survey

Modeled after CCSSE & NSSE Will be administered as a pre- and post-

test for EEPs Here are some results of our pilot run:

EEP’s Perform Better than Group in Professional Development

My assessment strategies lead to improvement in my professional work. I am able to develop strategies for my own professional advancement.

EEP’s Perform Worse than Group in Balance I am realizing my potential as a scholar in my

discipline. I can balance my personal and professional life.

Fill in an artifact in at least three of the categories

On Flip side, choose one to write a brief reflection about using this format:What (what did you do, make, etc.)So What (how does this connect with your PD

goals?)Now What (What’s next in achieving this goal, or….)

What are some tags you might attach to your artifact or reflection?

Share with a partner. Do your tags mesh with your partner’s tags?

Looking forward to launch of real eportfolio at the end of the year
