With the introduction of Portfolium, every UTS student and staff member has access to a UTS-supported digital space to showcase projects, skills and extracurricular work. There are now nearly 3000 accounts created on the UTS Portfolium network, of which approximately 95% were created by UTS students.
With these encouraging statistics, how has Portfolium been used for teaching and learning thus far? What are its promises and challenges?
Please join us in this webinar to hear Alex Baumber (TDi), Kate Delmo (FASS), and Amara Atif (FEIT) share how they have used Portfolium with their students in Spring 2021, in their subjects.
They will share:
- why they have incorporated Portfolium into the subject.
- how they have introduced Portfolium to students, and guided its use.
- what they have learnt from using Portfolium with their students.
- their future intentions for Portfolium in their subject and/or program.
