Starting Your Online Writing Instructor Teaching Portfolio: A Hands-On Workshop

13 Nov 2023, 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM (EST)

ePortfolios are websites that share digital artifacts and reflections. They showcase our identities as online writing instructional educators and can be used for educational, professional, or learning purposes. However, while OWI educators might see the benefits in creating a teaching portfolio, it can be hard to find the time and motivation to get started. In this 90-minute virtual workshop, we will begin that process together using Wix, a free website-building platform, and constructing our portfolio’s homepage.

This event is free to all GSOLE members and especially recommended for those taking the GSOLE Basic OLI Certification.

Please register for this event on the GSOLE website.

Attendees will…

1. Understand the benefits of teaching ePortfolios as tools for reflection and professional development,

2. Get acquainted with the Wix platform and its features,

3. Learn how to effectively showcase your OWI teaching identity, achievements, and unique teaching style, and

4. Explore design principles and strategies to create a user-friendly homepage that can be accessed across devices.
