    Hi Len (@lfox11215)

    Hi Len,

    Welcome to the Commons! [By the way, are you the Len Fox who used to teach at Hunter? If so, it’s wonderful to know that you’re a professor: Hunter’s loss was Brooklyn’s gain.)

    Meanwhile, if you have any questions about the Commons, please let me know. I’m happy to help.

    P.S. I teach our English Department’s course on “Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Language,” so I’d like to share syllabi with you in the fall.

    Great reflection Joe, you summarize some major points quite well. In fact, I just started a forum thread and wrote ‘eportfolio’ instead of ‘ePortfolio’.
    ; )

    Also, thanks for sharing your presentation via youtube… more captivating than a slideshare link I must say!

    Sarah Morgano started the forum topic Update to CUNY Eportfolio Comparative Table

    Greetings all, When you have some time please look over the eportfolio information for your CUNY campus on the comparative table and feel free to update the following: level of activity; funding; tech fees; platform; and scope. You can either reply here or comment to the blog with updates. This updated information will be most helpful […]

    Presentation by Kathleen Blake Yancey We have perhaps Trent Batson – or serendipity – to thank for this bookend from Kathleen Blake Yancey, Florida State University, whose presentation returned tangentially to Darren Cambridge’s opening theme.  My guess is that it’s Trent and by no accident this session opened with a hearty applause for his work […]

    Thanks to our great Macaulay ITF Michael Porter , there are three new plugins in the WordPress plugin repository which will be fantastic for anyone using WordPress as a platform for teaching (and in the case of the third of them, eportfolios!).  Mike developed these specifically for needs we had discovered at Macaulay, but I think there […]

    I’ve just returned from a good few days at the AAEEBL Conference in Boston (with lots of CUNY colleagues).  There are some good write-ups of some of the sessions on the eportfolios blog here at the Commons, and while of course there were ups and downs, as there are at any conference, I think it was generally […]

    Presentation by Rebecca Reynolds and Abigail Lewis This was a fascinating presentation (a good example of how great content can overcome not-so-great PowerPoint). Douglass Residential College is a women’s college with a long history that has recently been made a part of Rutgers. The women live together and have advising and support, but their classes […]

    Presentation by Susan Kahn and Karen Johnson After Joe’s session, I walked to the opposite side of the Plaza level to hear nationally recognized ePortfolio professionals Susan Kahn and Karen Johnson from IUPUI, who are on the opposite end of the spectrum from Joe and Macaulay.  I would have just as gladly made a trip […]

    ePortfolios

    Presentation by Joseph Ugoretz Three sessions today, taken together, provided at least a moment of clarity on the various tensions inherent in the ePortfolio process and most especially mapping onto this process the eternal dilemma of “student-centered” versus “standards centered” orientations.  The first was by CUNY Online Baccalaureate colleague Joe Ugoretz, who provides maximum flexibility […]

    Sarah Morgano commented on the post, The Future of Learning Management Systems!

    I went to the Moodlerooms vendor booth at the AAEEBL/Campus Tech Conference a couple of days ago and was pretty impressed with what they have to offer as a LMS. It seems that they’ve added/tweaked a lot of features by teaming up with Joule — it looks promising. I was looking on their website and noticed […]

    Presentation by Darren Cambridge Darren Cambridge delivered a wallop of lofty sociological theorizing on Western understandings of self and community integrated with practical applications via specific cases of ePortfolio implementation.  His own portfolio work centers on the Arkansas Community Portfolio Project, which was introduced as one of four possible configurations in a typology derived from […]

    ePortfolios

    Benjamin Stephens from Clemson University spoke about the form and function of ePortfolios for outcomes in the undergraduate psychology program. In 2006, Clemson University implemented an ePortfolio program that requires all undergraduates to create and submit a digital portfolio demonstrating Clemson’s general education core competencies.

    Students collect work from their classes and elsewhere, connecting (tagging) it to […]

    Presentation by Martha Bell, Sharona Levy, and Longfeng Gao This was a session focused much more on ideas and strategies (and successful ones!) than on technologies. Martha Bell, Sharona Levy, and Longfeng Gao of Brooklyn College explained how they are using a very specific eportfolio program that they call “Benchmarks for Success” to work with […]
