2016 CAST Symposium

Educational Technologists work across various departments, programs, levels of faculty collaboration, goals, and theoretical frameworks. Yet, in many graduate-level teacher preparation programs accross the USA, the importance of technically supporting students to develop authentic scholarship for fostering self-critical reflection is consistent. As such, the UDL guidelines of Engagement-Representation-Action & Expression are ideally suited to framing and assessing how e-portfolios are technically developed for such purposes. Using UDL on the technical level without infringing on faculty controlled factors has tremendous utility in both focusing the Technologist and serving the students.
