Welcome to my showcase eportfolio.  You'll find a little bit of me throughout the walls of this exhibit.  Take your time and reflect with me as you walk through the rooms of my eportfolio.  Please leave your comments and reflections in the feedback area at the bottom right on the pages - Show Comments and Tags.  Make yourself at home.

As I was cleaning out the garage today, I found words I had written in an old research binder from years ago, "Love the unlovely.  That's a true test of your ability to love. Teach those that are deemed unteachable. That's the true test of your ability to teach."  I would have to say, in a New York Minute, that's my teaching philosophy.  In the wee hours of the morning, while writing my graduate thesis paper, I scribbled those words in my Instructional Design notebook.  I was tired and wondering why I was putting myself through this stress.  I knew I wanted to be a part of changing education to provide ALL learners the opportunities to achieve their academic goals and realize their professional selves.  Good words to my professional  self.

What’s the challenge? Higher education providers credential learning based on signals and codes such as marks, grades and credit. How might technologies enable additional methods, so that: students are encouraged to create and curate rich evidence of their learning; educators have richer ways to warrant and credential such evidence; and providers can test new business models associated with credentialling?  Continue at http://boliver.ning.com .
