Supporting faculty adoption of ePortfolios

- Technology adoption
- Faculty enablement
- Vendor partnership
The challenge
A phased ePortfolio implementation required faculty across departments to adopt an unfamiliar platform in service of their own teaching goals.
What I discovered
I consulted with faculty and department leaders to understand their pedagogical goals and where the platform helped or got in the way.
What I designed and led
I served as a liaison among faculty, the technology vendor, and university departments. I combined pedagogical and technical knowledge to create training and support materials, deliver training, consult with faculty and department leaders, and communicate implementation needs to vendor leadership.
Why those choices mattered
This early technology-adoption work demonstrates the throughline in my career: implementation succeeds when people receive context, practical support, and learning designed around how they actually work.
