EPortfolio Proposal
Lauren MacDonald
Instructor: Dr. F. Feng
University of British Columbia
November 5th, 2013
EPORTFOLIO PROPOSAL 1
Purpose
The purpose of my ePortfolio is to fulfill the course requirements for ETEC 590 by
producing a concrete product that showcases my learning in the MET program at UBC. I feel
the creation of my ePortfolio is an excellent opportunity to reflect on my teaching
philosophy and practise and how it has transformed since beginning the MET program.
Reflecting on the selected artifacts will allow me to show the connections between my
learning and my teaching practise through theory and research. Completing my ePortfolio,
and thereby meeting the requirements for ETEC 590, will enable me to complete the MET
program and apply for upgrading of my teacher certification in my province of
Newfoundland Labrador.
Audience
My immediate audience for my ePortfolio includes my colleagues in ETEC 590,
course instructor, Dr. Franc Feng, and Dr. Alex de Cosson, another faculty reader. My hope is
that my ePortfolio will be viewed by other current and future MET students. My audience
also includes current and future employers and colleagues. My final audience members
include my family and friends to answer the many questions they have asked about my
program and demonstrate what exactly I have been learning these last two years.
Objectives and Outcomes
The objectives and outcomes for my ePortfolio are:
EPORTFOLIO PROPOSAL 2
to provide evidence of my learning in order to complete the requirements of 590
and the MET program.
to demonstrate an understanding of theory and research in education technology,
analyze and synthesize my learning, and to make connections in my learning and
with my teaching practice.
to reflect on my personal growth and transformation in MET and how I can apply the
knowledge and skills I have learned to create a 21st century learning environment
that is student centered and where the use of technology plays a prominent role.
to create an electronic record of artifacts from my time in the MET program that can
be shared with colleagues and future employers.
Metaphor
After much deliberating, I have chosen a trip or journey as the metaphor for my
ePortfolio. I chose this metaphor because one of the things that I love to do is travel. Since
childhood, I have travelled nationally and internationally, either for pleasure, education or
employment. It has been my experience that through my travels, I return home changed and
having learned something not only about the place I visited and but also about myself. I feel
that my time in the MET program has been filled with both personal and professional
transformation, where I have evolved and learned more about myself as an educator.
Sections of ePortfolio
The sections for my ePortfolio include:
EPORTFOLIO PROPOSAL 3
1.) Trip Itinerary. Despite the purpose for a journey, they all have an itinerary of
some form. This will be my homepage and will welcome visitors to the site, present the
purpose of my ePortfolio, and provide the viewer with my “Virtual Tour”.
2.) Travel Preparations. Planning and preparing for a trip requires a great deal of
thought, consideration and decision making. Here I will provide background information
about myself and my interest in the MET program.
3.) The Essentials. There are always essential items that you cannot leave home
without when going on a trip. This section will include artifacts and reflections from the 4
core courses in the MET program which were each an essential part of my learning and
transformation.
ETEC 500: Luggage - Final Project: Literature Review & Research Proposal on the influence of blogging on writing in primary Early French Immersion
ETEC 510: Maps - Design Wiki: Technology in French Immersion
-Design Project: Blended Language Learning Website for Elementary ESL

4.)Sightseeing. There are always different types of sites to see, visit and experience
on a trip. There is also the occasional challenge that you may encounter. This section will
EPORTFOLIO PROPOSAL 4
present artifacts and reflections from my 5 elective courses in the MET program. Each
course played a key role in enhancing my learning and transforming my teaching practise.
ETEC 530: Historical Sites-Website: Online Constructivist Lesson- Concept Map on Constructivism
ETEC 532: Cultural Experience-Vignette Analysis: “What should I post on the message board?”-Visual Representation of Course Learning

ETEC 565A: Recommended Site-Zooburst: Digital Story-LMS project (Short Video Tour of Moodle)-Course Blog
ETEC 540: Travel Challenges-Collaborative Assignment: Social Media and Literacy Website
The reflections for each course will contain: a description of the course and artifact,
how the course and artifact link to my metaphor and have influenced my teaching practice
and philosophy, the artifact itself and/or a link to the artifact, references to learning theory
and research, and images of my metaphor.
5.) Homeward Bound: Every trip must come to an end. ETEC 590 is the end of my
journey through MET. This section will contain my reflection on ETEC 590 and on creating
my ePortfolio. A link to my assessment rubric will also be included in this section.
EPORTFOLIO PROPOSAL 5
6.) Souvenirs: No matter what the trip, there are always souvenirs you take with you,
that are both tangible and intangible. This section will include my future plans on how I
intend to apply the knowledge and skills that I have learned from the MET program to
benefit my students and colleagues.
6.) Tour Guides. Tour guides often play a role in your trip being memorable,
productive and successful. This section will contain a list of references that have guided my
learning and helped to create my ePortfolio. In addition, I will also include a list of media
tools that I have used in the creation of my ePortfolio and the various artifacts included.
