Sheetal J. Patel: Own your story through a portfolio

Dr Sheetal J. Patel from the Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab (ILPL) at Stanford University wears several hats besides the one of being founding member and contributor to the lab. She runs her own company, Aha! >> Opportunities, co-founded the facilitation company Ninety-Five Z, works for LinkedIn Learning, and is a mom.

In this episode, Sheetal shares why diversity, equity, and inclusion (and belonging and decolonisation - DEIBD if talking about the AAEEBL Digital Ethics Principles) are at the forefront of her thinking, what frameworks the ILPL has developed that the student ambassadors and workshop facilitators at the ILPL work with, what impact generative AI is having, and why she thinks reflection is key, not just to portfolios.
