“I think the value [in reflective practice and eportfolios] is in finding the patterns in yourself and in your learning and connecting them to a larger context outside of school, using that information not only to understand your values, but to see yourself, your work, and your goals in a more realistic way and take some of the external pressure and stress out of the school experience.” – WSD Student<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a result of a TLIF Grant<\/a><\/strong>, WSD Interior Design students (now graduates) Hailey Bell and Hailey Bassiri, completed their research on the perception of faculty, students, and industry in regard to eportfolios in Design. As a result of their hard work, they were invited to present at PebblePash 2024 in Edinburgh<\/a><\/strong>, and their study, “Reimagining eportfolios for learning and employment: A Case Study in Interior Design” was published in the Conference Book<\/strong><\/a>. See the eportfolio that chronicles the process and the product of their work by clicking on the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
