Folio Thinking

What is Folio Thinking?  

A critical mission of higher education is to produce productive global citizens that are dedicated to developing a just, equitable and sustainable society. How can we introduce to our senior-year college students the best practices for developing a global mindset in preparation for their future leadership roles?

One academic solution is through the process of Folio Thinking, and the subsequent production of an e-portfolio, which encompasses a reflective or private portfolio for self-reflection on learning and transformational thinking on global issues and the production of a best of show portfolio or public portfolio, to begin conversations to connect and make a positive difference in the world. With the sophisticated development and rhetorical implication of technology, the e-portfolio is an efficient mode of delivery and an effective method of pedagogy for the designer and the intended reader. E-portfolios are used as a reflective tool and as an effective means for initiating conversations and actions with others about the value of developing an international perspective and becoming a more responsible global citizen.
