The intention was to integrate an institutional virtual learning environment; an e-portfolio for assembling work, where the students can include ideas and reflections and create their own work; and social networks as powerful communication tools, particularly of an informal nature. The study aims to find out whether students think that an e-portfolio can improve project assignments when used in collaborative group work; whether this independent way of learning enriches collaborative work and reciprocity among the members of each group so that a knowledge-building process is generated in the case study in question; and whether using e-portfolios contributes more effectively to the achievement of the course's proposed learning outcomes."

I'd Love to read it BUT twitter is blocked at my education institution!

I'm a research assistant at the Department for Interactive Media and Educational Technology at the Danube University Krems and lead there are two part-time master's courses. The concept of the e-portfolio, I was at my first encounter in 2006 rather skeptical. By intensively studying it in research projects and in their own teaching, my position has changed now. This dissertation project was launched in January 2008 as part of the Doctoral College Lifelong Learning and completed in March 2012 with honors. More about me and my work focuses to learn in See my presentation!
