"MyPortfolio - student voice on using it"

Collection of student samples on MyPortfolio

"In recent years ePortfolios have begun to emerge as an important component of the technology landscape within education institutions at both school and tertiary levels. Whilst the purpose of an ePortfolio can vary considerably depending on the educational context and level, there is increasing consensus that the ePortfolio fulfils a need for a student-owned and student-centred space to manage, record and present their work, reflections and achievements that LMS systems cannot easily cater for. Within the Schools MLE Programme the LMS system is seen as a 'hub' component in the curriculum and pedagogy space. Eportfolios represent one of the key satellite systems in this space. The Ministry of Education (MOE) conducted an initial investigation into ePortfolio use in schools in 2009.1 One of the primary questions motivating that work was how best to support schools in developing their use of ePortfolios.

"As the year progressed, we related specific key competencies to our learning in the classroom. We examined each key competency, discussed in groups what it would look like, and brainstormed ideas that were added to the wall chart. Evidence of success with the key competency was recorded in the students' portfolios."
