Abstract
As a research adviser and professor of qualitative research courses, teaching how to develop a qualitative research proposal is a complex process. Bearing in mind this complexity, a two-year-long case study of how to better prepare graduate students to write a qualitative research proposal in a hybrid distance program in a public university in Costa Rica will be presented. During this presentation, the experience of the students using e-Portfolios and how to give effective feedback in their writing research proposal will be amply discussed. Specific multimedia tools suitable to interact with the students within their e-Portfolios in different ways and how they can appropiate conceptual frameworks when writing the proposal because this interaction and collaboration will also be shown and shared. This paper offers recommendations for: 1) advisors and research teachers to engage using multimedia tools for fostering effective communications and feedback to the students writing via e-Portfolios 2) advisors and research instructors to promote participants reflections and metacognition on how to write a qualitative research proposal, and 3) to provide advisors and research educators advice on how to make an e-portfolio successful environment to foster self-reflection using different multimedia tools.

Comments
I I will show specific multimedia tools to interact with the participants during my presentation which allow them to design their e-Portfolios. Tools and apps for using audio, text and video will also be shown and shared. Narratives from the research participants when writing the proposal by fostering interaction and collaboration among peers will be presented.
