Helen L. Chen: Reflect through conversation to tell your story

Create. Share. Engage.

Dr Helen Chen (Stanford University) is a long-time champion of ePortfolio practice and has been involved in many initiatives and organisations such as EPAC, AAEEBL, and the Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab at Stanford University. She takes us through some of the early days of ePortfolios, why the portfolio practice is not just an ed tech fad and how the practice benefits students in many different situations to reflect on their practice and tell their story.
