About the University of Cincinnati (UC)
• Related to ePortfolios are UC initiatives for – semester conversion – student learning outcomes– Integrated Core Learning, & – course redesign
• Tussling with ePortfolios for about five years now
![Page 4: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Uses for a learning portfolio at UC
• Teaching portfolio• Reappointment/promotion/tenure dossier• Award dossier• Reflection• Assessment
– Institution– Program– Course– Student

How would one applythis in a faculty-development context?
![Page 10: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Any more questions now about how to set up your ePortfolios?”
![Page 11: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Well, maybe that’sa little too simple
![Page 12: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What about the “Diffusion of Innovations” model for planning
faculty development?
![Page 13: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Are there other models?
• Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM)• The Microcomputer Utilization in Teaching
Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (MUTEBI)• The Beliefs About Teaching with Technology
(BATT) instrument• The C-R-E-A-T-E-R Model (Care, Relate,
Examine, Acquire, Try, Extend, Renew)• The Technology Learning Cycle Model
![Page 14: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do we really need another model?
• Yes, but more concrete and applied.• And mapped out as stages in a
process. (That’s like CBAM, actually.)
• And with choices.• And situated within our curriculum.• And scalable.
![Page 15: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
IT support the early adopters
But for institutional faculty-development purposes:
• design a scalable system for wide-scale innovation & dissemination rather than focus on the early adopters & on the individual faculty
![Page 16: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overarching principles so far:
1. Establish a space and role for ePortfolios within the curriculum
2. Emphasize pedagogy, not technology3. Map out the steps in a gradual process4. Provide a vision of the future
![Page 17: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Establish ePortfolios within the curriculum (i.e., Integrated Core Learning)
UC’s approachto a general-educationcurriculum
![Page 18: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The role & place for ePortfolioswithin the Integrated Core:
![Page 19: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Another contextual opportunity:
![Page 20: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And another opportunity --
![Page 21: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Leave lots of choices (or the choice not to use ePortfolios at all)
For instance, in Honors:
• Nuventive’s iWebfolio• Embedded in the
honors FYE seminar• Assignments submitted
via ePortfolio template
![Page 22: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Overarching principles:
1. Establish a space and role for ePortfolios within the curriculum
2. Emphasize pedagogy, not technology3. Map out the steps in a gradual process4. Provide a vision of the future
![Page 23: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Emphasize pedagogy, not technology(& the concept of a lab for instructors
doesn’t hurt either)
![Page 24: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The “new paradigm” – old news now:
![Page 25: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
One key breakthrough concept:• The learning portfolio is a flexible, evidence-
based tool that engages students in a process of continuous reflection and collaborative analysis of learning. As written text, electronic display, or other creative project, the portfolio captures the scope, richness, and relevance of students’ intellectual development, critical judgment, and academic skills. The portfolio focuses on purposefully and collaboratively selected reflections and evidence for both improvement and assessment of students’ learning. (John Zubizarreta, The Learning Portfolio: Reflective Practice for Improving Student Learning. Jossey-Bass, 2009; p. 20)
![Page 26: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
More pedagogy: reflection
• “[R]eflection entails a looking forward to goals we might attain, as well as a casting backward to see where we have been. When we reflect, we thus project and review, often putting the projections and the reviews in dialogue with each other, working dialectically to discover what we know, what we have learned, and what we might understand.” (Kathleen Yancey, Reflection in the Writing Classroom. Utah State UP, 1998; p. 6).
![Page 27: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Heuristics for student reflection (but fairly simple ones):
• One model (modified from U of Akron):• What do you know?• How do you know that?• What if you argued with yourself?
• Or another:• What?• So what?• Now what?
![Page 28: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The rhetoric of adoption
• Not “ePortfolio” but • “learning portfolio”
• Not “reflection” but• “critical analysis”
• Not “changing the requirements” but• taking the “opportunity” for
“transformative change”
![Page 29: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

3. Map out varied & different steps in a gradual process
![Page 31: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

And a few more:

4. Provide a vision of the future –the ePortfolio as “digital multiplier”
the ePortfolio asbridge across the digital divide
Or:
![Page 35: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Advantages of ePorts over paper:
• More dynamic components (multi-media files) and less expensive to include
• Connections to work outside the classroom, in the field or the community
• Multiple paths towards the same knowledge as well as multiple perspectives on that knowledge
![Page 36: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
More advantages:
• More dynamic, varied, and creative connections between the various elements (via hyperlinks), a more non-linear and interactive way to connect
• A higher degree of reflection (in both creating and reading the portfolio)
• An emphasis on the process that led up to the final product
• Making thinking visible, “telling the story” of the thought process
![Page 37: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How to expand & sustain?
•Embedding within the curriculum:
•Building new pedagogies, not new technology
•Mapping a gradual series of steps
•Providing a vision of the future
![Page 38: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
And (a new one) creating faculty learning communities around
ePortfolio developments
• Ongoing support beyond the limits of–A one-shot workshop–Trial (and perhaps error) in a single
course–Changes in technology –Changes in the curriculum
![Page 39: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How would we know any of this worked? Or what “worked” meant?
• An ePortfolio of our own (in faculty development), to include evidence of faculty– who have made changes to their syllabi– modified writing assignments– developed new ways to evaluate students
• Bottom line: using portfolios of any kind, and to any degree?
![Page 40: Adapted from the PPT for: Strategies for Adoption: Faculty Development and ePortfolios](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f35550346895dbccf7a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
But what about finding evidence of increases in student learning?
Where would you like to start looking?
