The Association for Authentic, Experiential, and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL), partnering with the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U), invites you to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting “Building Bridges with ePortfolios” at Capilano University in Vancouver, British Columbia from July 23-26, 2018.  Registration is open.

Eportfolios have always been a tool of connection—a digital showcase that spans many divides.  In 2018, we look forward to sessions that encourage attendees to explore the ways ePortfolios bridge our learning from one context to another:

• Linking K-12 education to post-secondary education
• Connecting post-secondary education to the workplace
• Uniting faculty instruction with faculty research
• Joining co-curricular activities to curricular activities
• Relating classroom assessment to institutional assessment
• Coupling faculty development with faculty practices
• Spanning across high impact practices

There are few communities in higher education as warm and welcoming as the ePortfolio community.  If you would like to learn more about ePortfolios, the 11th high impact practice, and how they can transform learning, students, and faculty development on your campus, join us in Vancouver in July.  Reserve your hotel room today.  Conference rates expire March 31, 2018.

The At-A-Glance schedule and final program are now available to help you plan your trip.  In addition, the Special Interest Groups AAEEBL unveiled in 2017 will provide the themes of the conference:

• Practices & Pedagogies
  This track is for sessions focused on specific classroom curricula, approaches, techniques or procedures used to teach ePortfolios; in carrying out authentic, experiential and evidence-based learning; or in learning/teaching and assessment practices in general.  This can also include work specifically focused on educational/faculty development.

  This track is for sessions about published or ongoing research about ePortfolio use, design or implementation; authentic, experiential and evidence-based learning; or learning/teaching and assessment.
• Technology
