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!

"At the end of the year the Sophomores in Ms. Beach's Honors English class completed two final projects. For their group project, they chose a theme or an era in literature and then created a webpage using the new e-portfolio system connected to Moodle called Mahara. For their individual projects, they created personal portfolios reflecting on work done during the year."

description of a project, reasons for choosing Mahara

"An ePortfolio tool has been set up for use on the EIPIL Pan Project. Individuals or their employers can use this tool to record evidence of their informal learning."

"My portfolio is a joint project between South-Varanger and Finnmark further propelled (Finnmark county) tied to the transition between secondary school and secondary, as well as career guidance." (Google Translate)

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."
