2017 ePortfolio Intensive: Call for presentations closes April 5, 2017
by Michelle Saport |
ePortfolios are now the 11th high-impact practice. Studies have shown that effective ePortfolio pedagogies and implementation improve student learning across multiple settings. ePortfolios can also deepen student learning, increase student engagement, and positively impact retention and graduation rates.
UAA's eWolf community has many success stories that support these findings. As our eWolf community continues to grow, we want you to show off your hard work, successes, turning points, and ah-ha moments. There's great work happening on campus but much of it is happening in our classrooms behind closed doors. We are looking for presenters to bring their work out of the classroom to lead a session (or two) so your colleagues can learn from your experiences during our two-day spring intensive.
We encourage you to submit a presentation topic to our third annual intensive, May 11 and 12, 2017. Deadline for submission is 11:59 p.m. April 5, 2017.
