Implementation
Year 1   10/01/2002 - 9/30/03
The first year of the grant was delayed due to some infrastructure reconstruction at the college. However, on-going interaction and collaboration was kept between St. Thomas University (STU) and Miami Dade College (MDC).

An Interim Activities Director, Margarite Bazo, was put in charge of setting up the beginnings of the project. A Task Force (ATF) committee was formed.

Felix Ruisanchez was employed as the Faculty Instructional Technician. He began training the first seven faculty participants of the Title V Co-op Grant.

Year 2   10/01/2003 - 9/30/04
A commercial software-on line product, Live Text, was chosen for the ePortfolio platform. The first seven classes of students were trained.

Françoise Lefort was hired as the Technical Support Specialist and Ellyn Biggs was hired as the new Activities Director.

New software and equipment were ordered, as plans were being made to open a new ePortfolio lab.
Students working with first-time faculty received access to their on-line portfolios free of charge for four years. A new in-house ePortfolio system is being developed to help curtail student cost for the second generation of classes being taught.

An on-line survey has been given to students at the end of their course to evaluate the effectiveness of the ePortfolio system in their studies, interaction with faculty, and plans for the future.
