In the CSLE+COVA Workshop for the Lamar University School of Education Teacher Education Workshop on July 25, 2018, we explored how:
- We can make a more significant impact on our learners by giving them authentic learning opportunities to prepare them to thrive in the real world.
- We can equip our learners to solve complex problems and realize their greatest potential when we give them choice, ownership, and a voice through these authentic learning opportunities.
- ePortfolios can be leveraged to support these learning opportunities and to engage learners as they find their voice in sharing their creations.

How to Implement the CSLE+COVA Framework
If someone needs directions, don’t give them a globe. It’ll merely waste their time. But if someone needs to understand the way things are, don’t give them a map. They don’t need directions; they need to see the big picture (Seth Godin, 2017 para. 1).
In order to effectively implement the CSLE+COVA framework, you need to see the bigger picture of how these well established constructivist ideas come together. More specifically you need to see the bigger picture of how to create a significant learning environment in which we give you choice ownership and voice through authentic learning opportunities.
The following pages and videos have been designed to help you understand why and how to use CSLE+COVA framework and what that will mean to your learning experience and your organization. We recommend that you use the following pages in sequence but as you will see as you become more familiar with the CSLE+COVA framework we leave that choice up to you. We also want to point out that these are the same theoretical, pedagogical, and practical principles that we use in the Master of Digital Learning (DLL) and Leading at Lamar University so you will be in good company with hundreds of other educators who are looking to use technology to enhance the learning.
