Registration Information
Five slots per institution will be reserved up to the priority registration deadline of April 24, 2017. After April 24, any unfilled slots will be opened to faculty on the wait list.
From its group of five participants, each campus is asked to identify 1-2 faculty members who are willing to serve as "lead faculty" for the introduction to and development of the ePortfolio High Impact Practice on their campus. These lead faculty will be asked to continue their professional development through engagement in a year-long system-wide faculty learning community (FLC) for ePortfolios. Lead faculty members will be provided a copy of the book High Impact ePortfolio Practice (Enyon & Gambino, 2017) and will be enrolled in a Faculty Learning Community D2L course. Lead faculty members will be asked to participate in monthly discussions on chapters from the text, share best practices and resources, and establish a campus-based faculty learning community on ePortfolios. Faculty who successfully complete the year-long engagement in the ePortfolio FLC will be eligible to receive travel grants for summer 2018. Please indicate interest in serving as the "lead faculty member" on the registration form.
