If You Build It, Will They Come? Library Learning Spaces and Technology (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE.edu

  • Like many institutions, the Shapiro Library invested in a space renovation of its lobby to support student learning by fostering collaboration, offering technology-rich resources, and connecting to academic programs.
  • What wasn’t clear was why students failed to use the technology allowing them to plug in their laptops and project their work onto large screens for collaborative work.
  • The library lobby team began modeling use of the projection feature when advertising alone did not increase use of the new plug-and-project capability.
  • Although student use of projection technology in the lobby is increasing, progress is slow; simply getting the word out about these new learning space options continues to be the biggest hurdle.

Using Google Sites to Create an E-Portfolio

Using Google Sites to Create an E-Portfolio

E-portfolios are back by popular demand!

In May, we presented an introductory Webinar on e-portfolios, during which nearly 300 participants learned what an e-portfolio was and what tools could b

e used to create one.

Instructors Lisa Chow and Sandra Sajonas will return in November for a more in-depth, hands-on look at developing an e-portfolio using Google Sites. Learn about a creative way to display typical résumé material plus much more information about your work, including presentation slides, podcasts, and videos.

Lisa and Sandra, both Library Journal Movers & Shakers based at the Brooklyn Public Library, will demonstrate the e-portfolio creation process step-by-step, offer guidance on content, then share ideas for promoting your e-portfolio.

Showcase Your Work, Experience and Skills: Using Google Sites to Create an E-Portfolio
Date: Wednesday, November 14
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET
Cost: $49/members | $99/non-members
