Abstract

Collaboration between faculty members and librarians has the potential to enrich the work of both Communication Centers and campus libraries. A collaborative, ePortfolio development project that a library instructional technologist and rhetoric faculty member facilitated in an upper level public speaking course at a small liberal arts college demonstrates this potential. The collaborative ePortfolio project allowed students to showcase their rhetorical skills across multiple modalities: written, digital, visual -- and for this particular project -- oral.   Through a series of hands-on workshops and a reliance on the services of the Communication Center, facilitators guided students through the processes of developing their ePortfolios and incorporating videos of their own oral presentations within them.
