Developing Your Master’s E-Portfolio: An Instructional Module
Renee Adams, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, adamsrk@hawaii.edu

Graduate students in the Online Educational Technology Masters program (OTEC) at the University of Hawaii Manoa are required to produce an electronic portfolio in order to graduate. This task is addressed throughout the course of the program, yet is outside the scope of any specific course, leaving students to proceed independently with the production of their e-portfolios. This instructional module provided information to support students’ work on their e-portfolios. The module was delivered through a website that utilized VoiceThreads to provide information and an interactive learning space as well as sample student work and additional resources. Survey results indicated that all participants found the module helpful in providing information regarding various aspects of the task. Understanding of the AECT standards was improved for all through the use of the module. Responses strongly expressed an appreciation for straightforward, clarifying information and additional resources for this task. Questions and suggestions from participants will be shared with program instructors for consideration.
