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.
