initiative. The proposal must ultimately show how faculty will become facilita-
tors of Web portfolio development within their own disciplines. To get faculty
involved, Web-based tutorial and instructor led training must be discussed in
any long-range plan with your faculty technology resource center. Faculty will
not be 100 percent involved overnight. However, with a methodical, sensitive,
informative, and structured approach, faculty in all disciplines can be taught
how to mentor and teach students how to publish their coursework and other
assets in an electronic portfolio. It is critical that the Web portfolio program
stress faculty involvement and provide an indication of how faculty will learn
and build Web portfolio components into their own pedagogy. I will try to
describe the reasoning behind each section so that you can begin to formulate
your own ideas specific to your particular institutional scenario.

Project Description
(Keep this short and to the point. Be sure to outline a universal goal for the
program.)
This project aims to provide the coursework, advisement, and technology
resources for teaching all faculty and students how to conceptualize,
design, and develop an e-portfolio (an electronic portfolio delivered from
the Internet or through CD-Rom/DVD). The goal is to facilitate student
and faculty creation and publishing of e-portfolios across curriculums.
