She is a learning and teaching academic at Charles Sturt University, Australia where she builds capacity with colleagues to support students having a richer, more engaging and authentic educational experience.

Opening the Digital Door Once you begin to set up your online persona, it’s hard to close the door behind you! This presentation will highlight the various ways ePortfolios and social media can be used to forge your digital identity without fear.

Her work focuses on the integration of digital pedagogies and digital portfolios for sustained creative practice and assessment. Kate’s praxis includes taking aspects of her theoretical and practical work as a/r/tographer to consider how practitioners, teachers and students use site to create place in the digital and physical. Her PhD was the first fully online thesis as digital portfolio submitted at The University of Melbourne, where Kate is a lecturer in Visual Arts and Design Teacher Secondary Education at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education.	site, cite, sight My doctoral study (Coleman, 2017) explored how through digital encounters in ePortfolios we can discover aspects of the self through creation, curation and community. I explored the concepts of practice in digital sites, cites and sights to see how connections are made between the multiple identities we are playing in each space we inhabit. This short presentation will walk you through the notion of selves that I found in ePortfolios as digital sites, cites and sights.
