摘要：Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect woodand don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of thesea.” This article presents a pedagogical approach for framing a digital-identity-enhancing ePortfoliothat maximizes student engagement and produces a high-quality ePortfolio artifact. Building on thework of Lambert (2002), Barrett (2005), Klein (2013), Ramirez (2011), Nguyen (2013), Kahn(2014), Khedher (2014) and others, the authors have developed a technology- and pedagogy-baseddigital storytelling ePortfolio framework that helps students craft a digital identity and communicatea personal brand. When ePortfolio assignments provide opportunities for self-exploration thatinclude creating a personal brand, students engage with and appreciate the importance of their work,as evidenced in our pilot study of second- through fourth-year students in a university honorscolloquium. Furthermore, this personal branding approach extends existing ePortfolio models byhelping students develop key twenty-first century metaskills (Neumeier, 2013), while also enhancingtheir human and social capital.
