LDSC08: Blogs as Portfolios

This past summer ETS was lucky to have Dr. Carla Zembal-Saul as a resident Faculty Fellow. Her work centered around the blogs at Penn State as a platform to power student ePortfolios. She worked closely with Brad Kozlek, Chris Stubbs, Erin Long, and myself to come up with new ways to think about how a publishing platform could change the way portfolios are thought about. Her work has far reaching potential on our campus and beyond. The video below is her session from the 2008 Learning Design Summer Camp held at University Park in August. Please take the time to watch and if you have any thoughts, leave us a comment.

PSU Teaching and Learning on YouTube

PSU TLT on YouTubeOne of the things we learned from the 2008 FACAC survey results is that Penn State faculty teach using YouTube. As a matter of fact over 30% of our faculty say YouTube plays a role in their teaching. We also know that quite a few of our students spend time at the social video site watching and contributing.

With that in mind we’ve decided to launch our own TLT YouTube video channel. At the site you can find videos from our events that we’ve captured the last few years as well as other interesting items. We’re still exploring all the ways we can use the YouTube channel and would be thrilled to hear your thoughts. For now, head over to the new TLT YouTube channel and take a look!
