"Educators: Build your ePortfolio Website and keep it for life. Have your students build their ePortfolios for a variety of purposes here. Engage them in reflective learning activities. And use our award winning iRubric to build a rich environment for communicating your expectations and assess student learning outcomes and artifacts with ease. "
"The two major benefits of having a Web-Based Portfolio are:
1) They are accessible from any Internet enabled device
2) The ability to share knowledge and information with a wider audience"
"I'm convinced ALL our states and schools need to implement ePortfolio systems for student assessment, to include (among other standards) the ways students as well as teachers are meeting the ISTE NETs. Without creation, there is no creativity."
"The purpose of this PDF is to help schools looking at adopting Web Based Portfolios (WBP) as a form of assessment with students over a period of time. By adopting a web-based platform as a container in which to house portfolio content, schools give students a web-based vehicle with endless possibilities to create, collaborate and communicate their learning to the world."
"'So - how should the pupils use the space?' After more than two years of giving children their own online spaces, you'd think I'd have been able to answer that question straight away - but I always hesitate. I'll attempt to reflect here on why that was."
"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
"I wanted to tell everyone about an ePortfolio experiment we've set up with some of the Primary 6 children in Carronshore. Some of the ePortfolios can be accessed via a page on this blog and we're hoping to add more soon."
Recommended be @kjarrett as a tool to develop ePortfolios. Could be an after school activity... I don't like the Flash. What happens when Flash gets replaced by HTML 5?
"The Desire2Learn Learning Suite includes D2L's flagship learning management system (the Desire2Learn Learning Environment), analytics tool, learning repository, and electronic portfolio, all of which receive feature upgrades in the Learning Suite 9.0 release."
"HKA has for many years been looking at different options for the student e-portfolios. This year a trial of web based e-portfolios using the Weebly platform will be run in grades 5 and 6. In 2009 - 2010 grade 5 successfully used the Weebly platform to run their e-portfolios."
"# Downloads entire sites or pages with all required content.
# Downloads selected media (pictures, music, clips) from pages.
# Downloads links from a selected text/html file."
Good for downloading ePortfolio sites created with WordPress?
We have our learning intentions and success criteria plastered around the room, plus we write them in our books but I realised after doing these VoiceThreads - it’s not enough. Some students still aren’t making the connections between the things we do in class and the learning that we want to occur.
"Why should students or teachers get excited about something that they do not appreciate? As long as an e-Portfolio is held up as an electronic CV or as a storage system for assessment of coursework no one is going to get inspired. As long as publications still suggest that an e-Portfolio can be held on a CD or flash drive we are still thinking 'old technologies'."
"Also there are 2 major open source ePortfolio tools - OSP and Mahara and these are to greater or lesser extent integrated with open source Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) - Sakai and Moodle. "
"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."
"E-portfolios are becoming increasingly popular in the vocational education and training (VET) sector as a tool to collate and demonstrate evidence of skills and achievements and assist in the RPL (recognition of prior learning) process. However, e-portfolios contain a significant amount of personal information about learners which needs to be managed well. "
"The e-Portfolio seems like a great way to track the development of a teaching philosophy over the course of a year and after. I am excited to create my own portfolio over the course of my student teaching next year. "
