The D2L Product Design team wants your input!
We would like to invite you to participate in a study about why and how instructors require or encourage learners to share portfolios.
We are looking for instructors who meet the following criteria:
· You have assigned portfolios in your class in the last three (3) years AND/OR your students have portfolios that relate to the work in your class
· Your students are required or encouraged to share their portfolios with someone other than you
(Please note we're interested in portfolio use in general. You do not have to use the Portfolio or ePortfolio tools in Brightspace to be eligible to participate.)
If you meet these criteria and you are interested in participating, please select a time slot: https://doodle.com/poll/7vq4if8cyrnw47e2
If none of the available time slots work for you but you would still like to get involved, please send me an email at lindsay.mccardle@D2L.com
Project Details
What is this research about? We're interested in learning more about how professors and instructors in higher education use portfolios or some way for learners to collect evidence to share with others. We're particularly interested in instructors who intend for students to share their portfolios with one or more other people (i.e., not just with you, the instructor).
What do I need to prepare? There’s nothing to prepare beforehand. We’ll send you a calendar invite with a Zoom link to access the meeting. If for some reason, you can’t make the session, just let me know as soon as you can at lindsay.mccardle@D2L.com.
What should I expect in the session? The session will be an hour long. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your background and role and then dive into understanding your process, motivation, successes, and challenges in using portfolios. We’ll leave a few minutes at the end so you can provide any general feedback about your experiences in Brightspace.
What do I get out of the session? As a token of our appreciation, we will send you an Amazon gift card for $40.
What happens after the session? We can’t always follow up with you on the impact that your session had on our design, but we do take the sessions very seriously and ensure they have an impact on our product.
