UWS D2L ePortfolio Pilot and Showcase Session
The University of Wisconsin System is sponsoring a pilot project for the D2L e-portfolio product started in January 2009 and will end June 2011. The goal of this pilot is to explore the newly developed ePortfolio tool by Desire2Learn, the UWS centrally supported Learning Management System. The direct integration of the D2L eP product with the LMS offers advantages in Portfolio building and easy access by faculty mentors and students. This product can offer additional advantage in familiar interface and availability to all students who are users of D2L.
 * Background**

**The Project**
The Office of Learning Technology Development sponsored the cost of the 1500 pilot user licenses. The Learn@UW utility offered free support of the software as well as disk space usage during the pilot. A decision was made to host the D2L eP product fully integrated with the production Learning Environment locally. This provides a full experience for users who has access to their current D2L courses, as well as the Competency and Rubrics modules if desired. The pilot was originally planned for one year. It has since been extended for free (No additional cost for licenses) for an additional 18 months, allowing more thorough evaluation of the product by the participating campuses. There has been regular exchange of issues, suggestions and feedback to D2L from the Learn@UW support team and the participating campuses. Feedback are being collected from both faculty and students during the pilot.

//In Spanish 173: Introduction to Latin America (now LACS 101), e-portfolio was used as a final project, in lieu of a final exam. Each student produced a web presentation built upon previous group and individual work in the class. The assignment was designed to help students critically synthesize course content, draw from outside research sources, and integrate images, audio or video media to strengthen the written presentation content.// media type="custom" key="7647395"

//The Language Education program in the School of Education is using the D2L e portfolio feature for student teachers to create the portfolio required for certification by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The portfolio is presented to program faculty at the end of the student teaching semester. D2L eP has been beneficial to the program by allowing students a familiar platform to synthesize and present their competencies on teacher standards and an easy way to share the product with multiple faculty members.//===== media type="custom" key="7647405"
