Briana’s Bio
I've been at PSU for 15 years! (that number feels big) in a variety of roles. From the early days of working in Undergraduate Studies with transfer credits, to Alumni Relation events, to working for the Center for Student Success, and now with the updated name "ACAC" and an Academic and Career Advisor, working with incoming undeclared students and others in a multitude of ways! I'm a mum to two kiddos, one of which has started her college track journey and I'm getting to experience all of this from the other side--which has been exciting and eye-opening (to say the least).

Briana's Highlights
I found this Design Bite to be so useful in the classroom and out! Have already used it at home 🙂
Because it’s a new approach to group-making in that it removes it from the instructor and it allows for more choice by the students. It also opens the door for students to engage with one another so that they can be grouped with more like-minded students and not simply those they sit near or already friends with.

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.
