In the past, some Education Leadership students and faculty have used Chalk and Wire with support from Technology Services. Recently, the Career Services office is providing some academic departments a sub-component of JacketJobs as a career portfolio for students. The Wisconsin Department of Instruction is adopting new expectations for Teacher Education departments in the use of e-portfolios for assessment. A number of UW-System schools have piloted the Desire to Learn (D2L) electronic portfolio and UW-System Common Systems purchased a UW site license of the D2L e-portfolio. Through campus collaboration, we now need to develop a plan to provide support and assistance for faculty who wish to expand the use of electronic portfolios in the curriculum.

• Convene planning group of Office of Assessment, Career Services, Advisement, and Educational Leadership, and Technology Services to frame requirements for e-portfolio comparison. 
• Develop a project charter that reflects the stakeholders and multiple purposes that this tool might assist in our students' academic success.
• Conduct a comparison to determine if D2L e-portfolio can replace Optimal (from JacketJobs).
• Design and conduct a pilot opportunity for interested academic departments.
• Evaluate the pilot project and plan for wider adoption if successful.
