ABSTRACT

ePortfolio practice has played an important role at critical junctures of institutional change at LaGuardia, improving student learning and success while expanding to address all sectors and layers of the Catalyst Framework. Continuing to focus on pedagogy that empowers students as reflective, integrative learners, our work is now also entwined with advisement and outcomes assessment, intentionally supporting broad learning for faculty, staff, and the whole institution. While seminars have traditionally been cross-disciplinary, LaGuardia also supports a program-based, mini-grant process; the dialogue between discipline-based and cross-disciplinary processes, the people have found, builds creative synergies. While LaGuardia’s ePortfolio professional development emphasizes pedagogy that builds student and faculty learning, links to other Catalyst sectors create opportunities for institutional learning as well. Data collected from LaGuardia students and faculty support Eynon and Gambino’s three Catalyst Value Propositions of ePortfolio practice done well.
