ePorfolio Pilot with BSOT Building on Success!

Building on the very successful Spring 2006 Phase 1 pilot with Mary Evenson and Mary Barnes, the Fall 2006 pilot will include the following Department of Occupational Therapy courses and faculty: Gary Bedell’s OTS 288, Mary Evenson and Mary Barnes’s OTS 234/235, and Andrea Sherwin Ripp’s OTS 106, with a total of approximately 60 students. Faculty have participated actively in orientation to the OSP ePortfolio environment developed by UIT Academic Technology, as well as in discussion about how best to integrate electronic portfolios in support of their program and course curricula. Students in the three courses will learn to use the ePortfolio system over the next two weeks and will begin actively gathering artifacts of their learning, reflecting on their work, and presenting that work for review by faculty advisors. DOT’s ePortfolio pilot, phase 2, is off to a strong start!
