eportfolio education e-portfolio research on 2009-09-07 and saved by 92 people
- The learner builds and maintains a digital repository of artifacts, which they
  can use to demonstrate competence and reflect on their learning
- Portfolios are driven by the intended task: assessment, professional/personal
  development, learning portfolio, or group portfolio
- 15 more annotations...
- - Regardless of the format selected, each eportfolio effort should encourage
    learners to develop the skills to continue building their own personal portfolio
    as a life-long learning tool.
  - A portfolio permits the learner to display competence, outside of a static
    transcript. The richness of an individual’s learning can be portrayed through
    multiple media. For example, using an actual website to communicate web
    development skills is far more effective than simply listing a certificate on a
    resume.
  - An ideal eportfolio system should allow flexible input (each
    item can carry its own metadata and be treated as a unique object),
    organization (objects/artifacts can be hierarchically organized
    in folders), retrieval (objects can be searched based on
    eportfolio owner’s specifications), and display (items can be
    grouped and permission granted to intended audience).
  - Eportfolio software:
    - “The Open Source
    Portfolio Initiative (OSPI) is a community of individuals and organizations
    collaborating on the development of the leading non-proprietary, open source
    electronic portfolio software available.”
    - “Elgg is a fully featured electronic portfolio,
    weblog and social networking system, connecting learners and creating
    communities of learning”
  - With eportfolios, a similar concern exists. Eportfolios will be successful if
    the urge to excessively standardize is resisted. Simple technologies like RSS
    and SOAP reveal that content can be shared when interoperability is
    built into the sharing structure, not the content itself.
  - One of the most critical aspects of successful eportfolio use is the creation of
    neutral eportfolio providers. The institution should not be in control of the
    portfolio. As a personal life-learning tool, there is no place for
    organizational control. The current lack of portfolio software providers is
    being addressed through Elgg and OSPI. Institutions should direct their learners
    to approved eportfolio providers. Then, as learners move onto other
    institutions, the learners themselves retain control over their own portfolios.
    This is a central principle that must not be compromised in order for portfolios
    to function as personal learning representation tools.
  - Like any web resource, eportfolios are subject to security and privacy risks.
  - Who has ultimate control – the learner or institution?
  - To be effective, the concept needs to be embedded into the process of
    instruction and assessment
  - Learners are introduced to the concept, and instructed on how to use the system
    (both from a technical and from a “how will this help you” perspective)
  - The curriculum has been designed to require learners to use the portfolio in
    completing their course work and assignments
  - The portfolio is used for assessment of learning objectives. Instructor feedback
    can be integrated back into the portfolio and treated as an artifact.
  - An eportfolio culture (Gathercoal, Love,
    Bryde, and McKean, 2002) exists,
  - Time is allotted for portfolio development
  - However, the value of portfolios is largely lost when learners discontinue
    using them at graduation of course/program conclusion

    not an electronic portfolio"

Building Student Portfolios, Teaching Tips of the Week, Teaching Today, Glencoe Online

"Building Student Portfolios
Portfolio assessment is an innovative form of alternative assessment that allows teachers to see the academic progress and accomplishments made by a student over time. Portfolios also provide students with the opportunity to reflect on what they have learned over the course of a semester or a year. When used appropriately, portfolios can be an excellent component of your overall assessment plan. This week we present five critical steps to help students and teachers begin the portfolio process."

- Portfolios are a powerful assessment tool that provide a record of accomplishments and encourage students to reflect on their progress and development in the biological sciences. Students typically take responsibility for organising their portfolio and selecting the most appropriate content, depending on the purpose of the portfolio assessment task (described in more detail below).
- It is based on the premise that writing contributes to deeper learning and engagement with a subject, since it gives students the opportunity to clarify and reflect on their thinking.
- 7 more annotations...
- - Reflective journals encourage students to reflect critically on the process of learning and their development over time. A reflective journal may be included in a portfolio as a record of student learning [Example: Cooke 2].
  - a purpose-designed collection that functions as a tool for critical reflection
  - self-reflection and growth
  - guide teaching and learning and to promote independent learning
  - staff member provides direction to the selection of contents
  - This information guides the teaching, learning, assessment and curriculum development process.
  - The purpose of this portfolio is to demonstrate and highlight achievement, skills and abilities.
