Public Good Pathways: An e-Portfolio Independent Study
Instructor participant in CCESL's Pathways to the Public Good Project, Winter-Spring, 2018. Independent study instructor for three former students. Each student develops an eportfolio that integrates their learning experiences, both within and outside of the classroom, and how these experiences have helped them develop a unique "public identity." Participated in CCESL-led trainings in eportflio technologies and reflective praxis.
View my students' incredible e-portfolios here, here and here.
Also, big congratulations to Andi Schlut and Cristin Espinoza for being named DU Distinguished Public Good Scholars (2018) based on this work!
