Podcast episode 73 - David Hicks: The portfolio tells the story of growth
16 July 2025, 7:25
Hi everyone,
Recently, AePR published its latest issue entirely on folio thinking. Prof Dr David Hicks, Dr Amy Allen, and Dr Sara Evers from Virginia Tech shared a case study on their use of folio thinking in their teacher education programme. When I asked for an interview, David had time during his summer break, and you can now listen to the interview on the latest episode of our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.'
David and others at the School of Education at Virginia Tech have been using portfolios for more than 20 years and evolved their practice over that time. Their ePortfolio development framework, which is based on folio thinking, guides their work with the students and invites them to collect, select, reflect, and connect in their portfolio to encourage reflection, the cornerstone of a portfolio.
As usual, you can listen to the episode in your audio podcast player if you are already subscribed. You can also listen to the episode on the podcast's website.
Thank you
Kristina
