"We have set up this wiki to help coordinate our ground and focus our thinking in the areas below. We hope that this resources will be useful for educators, administrators or schools who are looking to digital portfolios. We hope that you share any resources you may have. If you have questions, please add them to the guiding questions page." by #ade2010
"This is a brief collection of work I have created and produced. It includes creative and commercial projects. The Video work I create ranges from promos,full length and short documentaries. Recently I have been exploring the use of words as fluid images, using text as the visual."
This portfolio, therefore, documents my 'life-work' particularly in the development of computing in education and, in particular, the inestimable benefits that the e-Portfolio has to offer at this time.
Let's talk about what goes into your e-portfolio. You will learn more about all of this when your professor introduces the module, but I will do a brief overview of a few things.
A "VET E-portfolio Roadmap: A strategic roadmap for e-portfolios to support lifelong learning" (640 kbytes PDF, 16 June 2009) has been released by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework. This provides a useful 26 page overview of what electronic portfolios are, how they are useful in education and how they can be applied in Australia.
This set of web pages will describe and discuss the use of technology to support alternative assessment from a number of perspectives. Originally developed and maintained by Dr. Helen Barrett, School of Education, University of Alaska Anchorage (retired).
A recently produced research document makes encouraging reading- even if a lot of the interesting bits are embedded within masses of statistics and tables. However, although this document is about online learning we can extend its conclusions to the additional functionality that an e-Portfolio can provide.
Quite simply, whatever the age, aptitude, ability, accessibility or attitude of the student, there is a set of eFolio templates with a variety of 'skins' for anyone. - I see this as an essential first step to 'ownership'. Without this sense of ownership there can be a classic syndrome of 'Why should I bother? or What's in it for me?'
I have created this blog to discuss my ideas on electronic portfolios to support lifelong learning. I hope to share some of my concerns about the current direction of electronic portfolios in High Education and K-12 schools.
