Metro Academies Chosen for Compass II Project

Great News to Wrap Up the Year!

The Metro Academies project was chosen as one of the new Compass II projects in the CSU. We included a section about our work with ePortfolios in Metro in the proposal, and plan to continue to leverage our existing work with this CSU support.  Metro Academies now has an ePortfolio reference site for students in the program. Here is a link to a sample student site in Metro.

Along with our Connect to Learning grant, Metro has become an important model project. Thanks to all of you for your on-going great work with ePortfolios this semester! 

Happy Holidays and New Year to all of our colleagues around the country.

On July 26th, we will be presenting "Growing an ePorticulture: (Trans)planting, Sustaining, and Harvesting Evidence of Deep Learning within the Metro Academies Program."

This interactive workshop will share strategies for planting an ePortfolio program, sustaining it, and harvesting evidence of student learning, with focus on the Metro Academies of Health a community college and university partnership program and its model of utilizing ePortfolios and high-impact practices.

Workshop themes with supporting case stories from the Metro program will include: a) successful "planting / transplanting" tips with strategies for getting started; b) maintaining ePortfolio initiatives, training and support models, and "mapping" and "tagging" artifacts to learning outcomes at different levels; and c) harvesting student work and strategies for the use of portfolios in program reviews.
