Recently, Trent Batson and David Marble, founding partners of MetaLearning, LLC, visited two campuses for extended consulting regarding electronic portfolios.  The first visit was to Salve Regina University in Rhode Island to present before the Faculty Forum and to consult afterwards with the VPAA and the Dean for Undergraduate Education. 

The second visit was to Pace University's Graduate Center in White Plains, NY.  The occasion was Dyson Day, an annual faculty gathering.  Trent Batson kenoted the day as he did at Salve Regina while David Marble consulted on technical, portfolio, and business aspects of change around technology and learning.

The next campus visit is to Central Piedmont Community College April 20-22, 2010.  In all three cases, the institutions are looking at a campus strategy around implementation of an ePortfolio system.  MetaLearning is a leading consultant about how that strategy should be constructed.
