Long Biography

Wende Morgaine has taught at Portland State University for more than five years. In 2005 and 2006 she was the Chief Portfolio Architect and Faculty Team Leader for ePortfolio Expansion, working on spreading and digitizing existing portfolio practices (through the Open Source Portfolio) across all of Portland State, Oregon’s largest university. In that capacity, she also served as CLE Communications Lead, planning the migration to Sakai from WebCT. During this time, in addition, she served as Conference Chair for the Sakai Foundation. Finally, she helped organize some strategic planning and grant writing among leaders in open source on the Portland State campus and across the region. In 2007, Wende continued to serve as a consultant to higher education institutions around the country for implementing the Open Source Portfolio, Sakai, and for doing faculty development around technology adoption. She has written and presented about this work at length. For the majority of the past three years, Wende had the great pleasure of doing some community management work for the Open Source Portfolio community. Having done a fair amount of this type of work while in graduate school, she was grateful to serve in the role of Geeky Border Collie yet again. Wende holds an MST in Interdisciplinary Film Studies, specializing in genre scholarship and has taught courses on film and television for sophomore, juniors, and seniors in Portland State’s award-winning University Studies program. Course she has taught include “Gay Rights, Film, Television, & Social Change”, “The Serial Killer Film Genre”, and “Politics, the Silver Screen, & You”. Currently, Wende is the VALUE Project Research Associate at the Association of American Colleges & Universities. The VALUE Project is a two year portfolio grant funded by FIPSE and State Farm that focuses on standardizing portfolio assessment.
