E-Portfolio: Passport to Global Citizenship Mission: http://www/eport2passport.com

According to Aristotle, kairos is the legal, political, or ceremonial act that demands a rhetorical outcome for justice. The kairos or ceremonial act of college graduation welcomes the rhetorical act of creating an e-portfolio, which provides the student with self-reflection, transformation, introduction and connection to the audience, which results in an attempt to establish a just, equitable, and sustainable global community.

 

Creating the E-portfolio rhetorically strategizes the use of technology for andragoglogical transformation and societal connection of the author and audience, resulting in decisions and actions for the better good of global society. E-portfolios will be 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.
