Study researched Appalachian women in emotional, social, or economic reliant relationships with male spouses and who became socio-economically stable and independent. Appalachian women gave voice to how they led change by financially, physically, and socially providing for themselves and their dependent children. This group was chosen because they have been largely overlooked in the literature. , this study does not answer questions of all women‘s experiences and barriers in Appalachia. It is my hope the stories of these women who successfully overcame significant challenges in creating socio-economic stability in their homes provide a positive role model for other women of the region. Through a set of criteria, 15 Appalachian women ages 34 to 74 that left their first marriage, were socio-economically stable and independent were interviewed. Confidential interviews recorded participants’ life stories. Each woman discussed her experience in her own voice and explained how she led change in her family‘s life. The stories were coded for major themes using NVivo 8 software. An adaptation of situational mapping was used to contextualize the primary themes. Generational influences emerged as an important theme and three narratives, one for each generational group, are retold as exemplars highlighting the primary themes, narratives and the situational map shows the significance of economic independence, social support, and place to their life stories. Identification of Appalachian women self-leading provides an important addition to the Appalachian studies literature.

This case study outlines the eportfolio implementation in the Business and Economics Department at Blue Ash College, a regional campus of the University of Cincinnati. This program presents how they began with LiveBinders and then moved to WordPress to create portfolios that document mastery of program outcomes. The eportfolios are developed in several courses to document the students’ progress throughout the program as well as give them opportunities to reflect on their own learning.
