The e-Portfolio for Coaching & Community. The e-Portfolio for Coaching & Community Posted on Wed, Aug 27, 2014 I recently read Trent Batson’s blog post on the AAEEBL site, How to Get Institutional “Buy-In” for ePortfolio Adoption: The "Why" of ePortfolio, and felt inspired.
What he says is true. Those who talk about e-Portfolios often note how many different uses e-Portfolios are put to. And, most also say “it is not the technology, but how the technology is used.” Why e-Portfolios? E-Portfolios appear to be one of the most authentic ways to coach students. In asking students to assemble an e-Portfolio over the course of their collegiate careers – to have their work peer reviewed, self reviewed, and submitted for ongoing feedback to their educator coach and then revisiting that work to ask them to curate it as well as draw connections between their learning experiences – the educator is coaching that student to engage in a deeper, more purposeful reflection – that is, make meaning out of their experiences.
Reflective and Social Pedagogies to Advance Integrative ePortfolio Learning. ePortfolios are designed to enhance learning.
And while faculty and institutional learning are important, student learning and the pedagogy that supports it stand at the center of effective ePortfolio practice. Successful campus ePortfolio initiatives focus sustained attention on advancing sophisticated ePortfolio pedagogy that enhances student learning. The Catalyst site showcases the practices used by Connect to Learning (C2L) campuses nationwide. And it offers two essays that introduce and analyze those practices: one on Reflective Pedagogy, and one on Social Pedagogy.

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.

After an enquiry about whether it was possible to share files directly from Google docs in Mahara I did a bit of research.
It appears that you can share a link from Google Docs as a hyperlink in Mahara, and if you are already signed into any of the Google suite (ie Google Reader, Google Mail/Gmail etc) it will take you directly to the shared document, ready for you to edit or comment upon. You will however, need to give the user access to the Google Docs file beforehand ie the owner will need to 'share' the file first. If you don't first of all share the Google Docs file, the link will open up the document as a HTML (non-editing) page. Here is an example using an old "Innovations Task List" I created in Google Docs a while back. If I have shared this document with you (by invitation in Google Docs) then you will go directly into the document.
