To date there have been only two academic divisions on our campus that use e-portfolios, and neither are represented among the “Making Connections” team members.  The team is made up of representatives from disciplines which span the breadth of our campus, including a freshman-level composition course, the Writing Across the Curriculum program, and a graduate-level Physical Therapy program.  This broad representation highlights our team’s most significant accomplishment: envisioning an e-portfolio program that will meet diverse goals in a wide range of disciplines (Liberal Arts, Education, Business, Pharmacy, and allied health fields) across a campus serving more than 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

We have decided to implement an e-portfolio pilot project for the spring 2010 semester that will involve the team's three disciplines with approximately 100 students.  An evaluation plan has been developed for the pilot project, which will run through Summer of 2010.

Presentations have been delivered to key internal stakeholders and faculty members in the Division of Physical Therapy.  A presentation is slated for the semi-annual university-wide teaching with technology forum in June 2010.
