NGTiP09 Portfolio typology further to Flourish
Eportfolio needs to be discussed in respect of at least four dimensions: 1 Process - collection, selection, reflection, presentation 2 Tools and artefacts: - portfolio: items, systems, presentations (CV, assessed piece of work, etc) 3 Areas of application: - PDP, CPD, PDR, competency assessment, personal reflection 4 Cultures of use: - Disciplines, educational sector, professional bodies, learner preference, maturity, aptitude, attitude Eportfolio processes are done with tools to produce artefacts for particular purposes. The tool and its habit of use has an effect on the shape of the artefact that it produces. The culture of the site of application determines the habit of use of the tool: there is a "way things are done 'round here." One size won't fit all.

David Andrew on 04 Mar 09This is a long presentation - but the middle bit is an exercise which can be skipped - about the problems of sharing good practice in education - well worth watching given that a lot of what we do is that.
anonymous on 06 Mar 09At last...I found the link I was looking for. I started to watch this and got drawn into the fact that it was done with the Echo360 system that we use. It looks like a different version of the system though. I've always wondered how worthwhile video is in these cases but I found myself quite liking the video. Maybe that's because I'm a "distance learner". Perhaps video isn't as necessary for people who were at the presentation and are using this for review?
Giles Martin on 10 Mar 09I've watched most of it so far. I also really appreciate the video - I think the inclusion of it does help you feel more like you are part of a human group. Now, I'd also appreciate the other delivery methods echo does (e.g. ipod) for reviewing something, but it is good to have options to tailor to the individual. I also like the (new?) possibility of switching the layout so that the video is the 'larger' screen some (but not all) of the time. Mostly comments on the software, but the talk was interesting too!
