Care & Equity Goals

  • Day  3 of the module.  I needed a little time to get acquainted with the materials and the format.  As I reflect on what is resonating with me so far, it’s others’ expressions of the costs of caring and the confusions of caring.  I know my motivation when I

    Comment on: By now it should be clear that GENAI comes with a number of ethical concerns (equity/social justice, intellectual property rights, privacy/data, environmental, labor, etc.) How do these concerns intersect with your own disciplines/fields? How could you use those intersections to explore AI with your students?

Stop Five: Exploring Your Portfolio

This page is your personal workspace in Design Forward. Whenever you complete an activity in a module, it will be posted here. In addition, you can add portfolio items at any time. At the bottom of the page, you will see a gray bar with options to add images, files, videos, text reflections, or workbook pages. 

On the right, you will see your most recent comments and annotations as well as any questions you’ve asked. 

Your portfolio lives outside of any individual module — it is available across your entire Design Forward experience. If you click on the Participants link  you will be able to see everyone else participating in a module and visit their portfolios. They can visit yours as well. 

Take some time to explore the options in your portfolio; you don’t need to add anything at this time. When you’re done click the “Back to the Map” button.

At the end of this stop in the Orientation journey, you will have 

  • Understand how content is added to your portfolio
  • Learned that your portfolio is available across all the DF modules you participate in.
