ANGEL: ePortfolio
When: Thu, Feb. 11; 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Where: STT 590

Description: The ePortfolio feature in ANGEL enables students and faculty to create an evolving picture of educational as well as personal growth and development. It allows individuals to link progress to institutional, course, and personal achievements, and includes the concept of “certified” artifacts — artifacts imported from ANGEL courses that include grades and faculty comments. There is also an ePortfolio blogging capability that allows students and faculty to maintain an ongoing record of educational and co-curricular activities. Sharing elements of an ePortfolio can be accomplished by creating “Publications” — custom Web pages consisting of various artifacts from a student’s ePortfolio — and emailing or granting other ePortfolio users permission to see specific aspects of one’s work. This workshop will introduce you to the powerful features available in ANGEL ePortfolio.
