LDR 3950 Leadership Capstone:
My Students' Career Readiness Final E-Portfolios
I teach LDR3950 Leadership Studies Capstone at UCF, which is the final course in the four-semester LEAD Scholars Academy sequence. Students begin collecting the artifacts outlined above for their E-Portfolios in their first semester. By the time they enter the Capstone course, my students have a cumulative collection of work across 4 semesters. At this juncture, my students are on the verge of applying to internships, jobs, and graduate school. The cumulative assignment in my class: Students create a final Career Readiness E-Portfolio of their leadership coursework, service- learning experience, accomplishments, and a final synthesis. Developing their E-Portfolio with Adobe Express and web design techniques allows LEAD students to reflect on their leadership experiences and courses while increasing digital literacy as they create a digital archive of acquired skills and accomplishments. Student ePortfolios can be used to foster global learning, connections among experiences, and career development. Their E-portfolios are be reviewed by student peers, faculty, and working professionals in the field to provide multiple layers of feedback and diverse perspectives. E-Portfolios promote integrative learning by having students collect, select, reflect and connect new experiences to the big picture regarding their college and professional experiences.
