Topics Covered
The Reflective Teaching Portfolio
The Reflective Teaching Portfolio is an intrinsic part of the program. An ongoing,
reflective journal of a faculty member's evolution as a teacher , it is a valuable
and widely recognized professional development tool. The reflective teaching portfolio
includes a statement of teaching philosophy, responsibilities and goals, as well as
key evidence showing how these goals are being reached. For this certificate program,
the portfolio should focus on the 1.) role of technology in one's teaching practice,
2.) reflection on the impact of technology on teaching and learning and 3.) ideas
you may have to infuse technology in your teaching.

Creating, Managing and Sharing Materials With Colleagues and Students
The more you use digital content in your courses, the more data needs to prepared,
formatted, named and managed. This session establishes best practices in how to create,
manage and share content in your classes and with your students that will enhance
assignments and make orderly collaboration possible. The practices established in
this workshop will be assessed by the cross-workshop work completed within the program.
Education and Technology
Each program is updated to include current and emerging technologies that are having
a significant impact in education. Recent topics that have been explored include:
The Digital Syllabus, ADA and special needs technologies, augmented reality and research
aids (LIB Guides) produced by the Gladys Marcus Library and more.
Interactive and Collaborative Tools
Tools like VoiceThread and Padlet are among the many collaborative and interactive
tools that bring students together to develop projects, assignments and presentations.
This portion of the program is conducted online where participants will work in small
groups to explore the learning opportunities fostered by active learning.
Certificate of Completion
Each workshop will include surveys and assessments, and faculty will be required to
develop and maintain a Reflective Teaching Portfolio that can be made available for
collegial review at the time of completion. A list of certificate recipients and their
Reflective Teaching Portfolios can be found here.
