How we got here… Phase 1 (Pre-2004): On your own Phase 2 (2004-7): Becoming systematic Phase 3 (2007-12): Centralizing,
department-focused, getting grounded, tool-centered (ePortfolio Initiatives)
Phase 4 (2012-now): Student- and process-centered, tools abound (Active Technologies for Engaged Learning)

Why active, engaged learning Some assumptions:
1. Learn best by doing.2. Exploration and innovation are (should
be?) key learning outcomes.3. It’s a long-term gain we’re after.

Why TEAL… Networked metaphor TEAL has collaborative, active-learning at its
heart. Active learning engages students in two
aspects – doing things and thinking about the things they are doing. (Bonwell & Eison, 1991)
Scenarios a plenty: Problem-based learning, Kuh’s High-impact Practices, Flexible Classroom spaces
Many are still instructor- or class-focused.

Why ATEL… Active Technologies for
Engaged Learning Active Technologies ask
students to do, create, reflect, collaborate, create.
Engaged Learning asks students to think about that participation, to become invested in being the primary site and source of learning.
Broadens our focus beyond ePortfolios to a range of related, active technologies.
Experiential Learning

Examples of ATEL: Blogging Blogging provides the quick, easy ability to
write and share. Ranges from private, journal-space to large
syndicated “mother blogs.” Ranges from prompted to “free-range”
blogging. Example 1: Senior Seminar, English:

Examples of ATEL: Digital Storytelling Creating narratives of research and
experiences Can be a cyclic, reflective process Asking for different modes of
representation for ideas. Can be personal or professional Example 1: Architecture: What is Design? Example 2: History:
From the corset to the girdle.

Where do ePs fit in?

ePortfolios feature:• Presentation of
content• Demonstration and
understanding of change
• Representations of self and work
ePortfolios catalyze the engaged student experience and the faculty learning outcomes.

ePs and multimodality Yes, ePs = multimodality. Learning and modality
Various points-of-view on a single learning experience. What happened? What changed? Why?
What’s next? How can you best show this? Various modes of representation available
Pictures? Video? Text? Color? Sound?

Putting it together ePortfolios and other digital artifacts of
learning, created using active learning principles, reflect learning more meaningfully.
Active technologies, defined as those technologies that support and encourage active learning, can be used to heighten student engagement, innovation, and creativity.

Critical Questions How does an instructor untangle the contexts
for the different modalities to be employed?
Should instructors be deciding on the modalities?
How can we shift from scaffolded learning to free-style learning using active technologies like ePortfolios, blogs and digital storytelling?
How can student engagement become a primary outcome of our learning environments? What benefits would we see to innovation, transference, and integration of learning?
