Warrick Wynne's List: Personalised Learning

  • Jun 07, 12

    An ePortfolio (electronic portfolio) is an electronic collection of evidence that shows your learning journey over time. Portfolios can relate to specific academic fields or your lifelong learning. Evidence may include writing samples, photos, videos, research projects, observations by mentors and peers, and/or reflective thinking. The key aspect of an eportfolio is your reflection on the evidence, such as why it was chosen and what you learned from the process of developing your eportfolio. (Adapted from Philippa Butler's "Review of the Literature on Portfolios and Eportfolios" (2006), page 2.)

    • " The overarching purpose of portfolios is to create a sense of personal ownership over one's accomplishments, because ownership engenders feelings of pride, responsibility, and dedication." (p.10) - Paris & Ayres.(1994) .

      " The e-portfolio is the central .and common point for the student experience. It is a reflection of the student as a person undergoing continuous personal development, .not just a store of evidence.".. (Geoff Rebbeck, e-Learning Coordinator, Thanet College, quoted in JISC, 2008)

    Those who raise their hands listen in class, engage with the topic and so achieve more highly. The others, often, let their attention drift. "They're foregoing the opportunity to get smarter," says Dylan Wiliam, deputy director of the Institute of Education.

    Personalisation in education has been discussed in research and policy papers for about ten years. Personalised learning, as a concept, appears to have been used first in the United States and was subsequently expanded and deepened through work in the United Kingdom as it became embedded in a wider argument for the reform of all public services. The aim of this reform was to create services that responded more directly to the diverse needs of individuals rather than imposing uniform solutions on all people.

      • Learners are central. Personalising education involves:

        • a highly structured approach that places the needs, interests and learning styles of students at the centre;
        • engaged learners who are informed and empowered through student voice and choice;
        • assessment that is related to meaningful tasks and includes assessment for and from students;
        • a focus on improving student outcomes for all and a commitment to reduce the achievement gap.

        Information and communications technology (ICT). ICT is a key enabler that:

        • allows each pupil greater diversity for learning;
        • enhances interactivity between individual students and individual teachers;
        • provides a space for personalised, flexible learning beyond the classroom walls
        • allows students to live locally while learning globally – through the use of external resources accessed via the World Wide Web.

    Personalised learning is a highly structured and responsive approach to learning for each individual child and young person. It creates an ethos in which all pupils are able to progress, achieve and participate. It strengthens the link between learning and teaching by engaging pupils and their parents as partners.
