Institutional Context Provide and document engaging educational experiences of our students • Students integrate their educational experiences from entry to graduation and demonstrate achievement of core competencies • Faculty align learning goals, pedagogical practices and assessment to determine impact of purposeful learning experiences in their programs • Institution gathers and uses assessment data for improvements
Background • ePortfolio pilots elicited via internal, instructional grants to support institutional initiative • Collaborative partnership: CTL, OEA, and IT-CS&S • Pilots designed based on stipulations set forth in RFP • Active pilot programs (2010-11): • 10 undergraduate academic programs • 1 graduate academic program • New pilot programs (2011-12): • 5 undergraduate academic programs Programmatic TLA ePortfolio
Faculty: Impact (evidence) of curriculum as integrative whole • Students: Make meaning of their education based on reflection, feedback, and evidence (artifacts) • Institution: Assessment data inform strategic planning • eP: -- Interconnected -- Purposeful -- Competency-based -- Reflective -- Developmental -- Rooted in feedback Programmatic TLA ePortfolio

Think about these Questions Before Designing the TLA • How will the TLA enhance teaching capacities and competencies for the faculty? • How will the TLA relate to established educational practices in the program? • How will the TLA help students make connections among courses? • How will you implement reflective prompts to best develop students’ skills over time? • How will feedback be provided to encourage student developmental learning? Who will provide the feedback? • What data needs to be collected? Who will analyze? Who will report? Programmatic TLA ePortfolio
