Assistant Professor at Tallahassee State College Amanda B. Wallce, MA, and Kylie Pugh, MA, Adjunct Faculty at the University of West Florida and Customer Success Manager at Instructure talk about their experience with portfolios that they designed around student well-being. Together with Dr Bre Garrett (University of West Florida), they conducted research in that area and published that at the end of 2023.
Kylie and Amanda share their own learning journey, filled with trials, errors, and lots and lots of reflective work. They showcase beautifully portfolio work themselves.
The majority of their work that they share happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. In one part of the interview they share some of the difficult situations that they experienced.
