E-Portfolio Requirements

Creating an e-portfolio is a fundamental aspect of reaching Global Citizenship Distinction.  The e-portfolio will include evidence of experiences and learning outcomes through journaling, self reflective memoirs, photo essays, experiential surveys, letters of recommendation from faculty, internship sponsors and/or advisors, evidence of related presentations and course related projects, and completion of globally focused papers or presentations on global topics.

The intent of the e-portfolio is to demonstrate the student’s learning, awareness of global issues, active participation in global activities and gained interest and understanding as a result of their experiences.  E-portfolios will be evaluated on a regular basis and a final assessment of all included work will be conducted to ensure completion prior to the awarding of the Global Citizenship Distinction honor.

Students will write about their experiences. They will reflect on two very basic aspects:

  1. What did they learn from the experience?
  2. How will they use what they learned in their careers and interactions with others?

For each event or activity, participants submit an entry into their e-portfolio. Individual e-portfolios are housed in CANVAS. Participants are encouraged to add photos, videos and other items that can bring their experiences to life.

Each e-portfolio submission must receive a minimum of 50 points.  Students will make improvements to submission when scores fall below the minimum scores.
