Καλή Μελέτη! Jisc Guide: E-portfolios. "An e-portfolio is a purposeful aggregation of digital items – ideas, evidence, reflections, feedback etc, which ‘presents’ a selected audience with evidence of a person’s learning and/or ability. "Sutherland and Powell (2007) If portfolios are ‘simply a collection of documents relating to a learner’s progress, development and achievements’ (Beetham 2005) then e-portfolios could be defined as simply digital collections of these documents.
However, ideas of what an e-portfolio ‘is’ are complex and to an extent the definition and purpose will vary depending on the perspective from which a particular person is approaching the concept. Consensus is beginning to grow as experience of e-portfolios develops which will help converge these different ideas and definitions. Defining e-portfolios Essentially then, an e-portfolio is a product created by learners, a collection of digital artefacts articulating learning (both formal and informal), experiences and achievements. Europortfolio: European Network of Eportfolio Experts and Practitioners. The ePortfolio implementation guidelines aim at supporting implementation of ePortfolios on the school‘s, institution‘s and consortium‘s level. General implementation guidelines gather the background, recommend models and approved processes and discuss the challenges for schools, institutions and consortia.

Experienced ePortfolio practitioners know that “pedagogy drives technology” and meaningful ePortfolio practices involve a complex interplay among teaching, learning and technology. The technological aspect of ePortfolio, while not primary or singular in importance, can nonetheless play a critical role in supporting and enhancing — or, in some cases, hindering — campus efforts to realize ePortfolio’s transformative potential.
Explore rich narratives from the C2L campuses. Teams discuss platform selection, strategies for engaging students, and ways their platform supports outcomes assessment and professional development. Learn about the importance of selecting an effective ePortfolio platform and the various ways campuses use their ePortfolio technology to support and enhance student, faculty, and institutional learning. Browse the list of articles, presentations, and other multimedia resources related to ePortfolio Technology. Currently Used by C2L Partner Campuses. Australia ePortfolio Project. The AeP project team has developed the Australian ePortfolio Toolkit for use by ePortfolio practitioners in their institutions.
The ePortfolio Toolkit comprises a series of ePortfolio Concept Guides designed to inform the diverse stakeholders in higher education about issues and opportunities associated with ePortfolio learning. ePortfolio Concept Guides These concept guides have been adapted for the Vocational Education and Training (VET)sector by the Australian Flexible Learning Network. Copies of the VET documents can be accessed at: A further valuable resource is a recent publication prepared by JISC in the UK. Effective practice with ePortfolio The publication investigates good practice in the use of ePortfolios as a support in learning and as an aid to progression to the next stage of education or to employment. AeP survey instruments. EIfEL – European Institute for E-Learning. Info In the context of a knowledge society, where being information literate is critical, the ePortfolio can provide an opportunity to support one's ability to collect, organise, interpret and reflect on his/her learning and practice.
It is also a tool for continuing professional development, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for and demonstrate the results of their own learning. Furthermore, a portfolio can serve as a tool for knowledge management, and is used as such by some institutions. The ePortfolio provides a link between individual and organisational learning. Recognising individual achievements In the view of a US "e-portfolio consortium": "the student portfolio is quickly becoming recognised as an important means of documenting and evaluating achievements and improvements in student learning. Improving the quality of learning provision More Proceedings -- the proceedings of Portfolio conferences. AEEBL - the Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning. The word "eportfolio" has been around since the late 1990s and for a decade was a hyped word. As long as there was a hint that the technology itself would change things on campuses, the word "eportfolio" was a galvanizing term.
By 2012 or so, however, the term "eportfolio" seemed passe as the hype cycle had dipped. No longer was the term as captivating as it had been. But ECAR annual surveys show that adoption rates belie the "passe" assessment: eportfolio adoption since 2010 has in fact made eportfolio now a part of campus landscapes at half of all institutions of higher learning, and nearly all institutions have some kind of deployment of eportfolios. Not only are eportfolios not "passe" but are growing in use while use of LMS has declined slightly. ePortfolio describes a technology, essentially a learner-owned account in a cloud-based application maintained by a corporation.
In that technological distinction lies a world of meaning. MERLOT ePortfolio Portal. Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research. Epac / Evolving List of ePortfolio-related Tools. ePortfolio-related Tools and Technologies Thoughts about this list as of 1/5/2015: During our recent EPAC discussion in December 2014, a question was raised: what is an ePortfolio in 2014? EPAC and the broader ePortfolio community first addressed this definitional question in the early 2000s and perhaps it's time to revisit what are the criteria for what constitutes an ePortfolio in 2015.
The list below includes anything and everything that might be ePortfolio-related, from website building tools to assessment management systems. While comprehensive and perhaps appropriate in the early stages of technology development, more specificity in purpose is needed now that our understanding of ePortfolios has evolved from both a pedagogical and technological perspective. Perhaps it's time to put a stake in the ground and not only define what is an ePortfolio but also what is not. Would this be a conversation you'd be interested in taking part of?
