Bridge to Learning - Educational Research
The second in my ‘Rethinking’ series of blog posts. This one – Rethinking e-portfolios’ is the notes for a forthcoming book chapter which I will post on the Wales wide Web when completed.. Several years ago, e-portfolios were the vogue in e-learning research and development circles. Yet today little is heard of them.Our district uses its front page to post success stories from our 40 schools. These range from academic achievements to athletic accomplishments of school teams. Schools post the stories to their own Website and submit them to me to post to the district page where generally there is more traffic.
Robbing Students of Recognition
2¢ Worth » The Next Killer App?
2009 was the year that my 4th of July lasted for 42 hours, at least that’s the best I could calculate it at the end of the day. Much of the day was in Auckland, New Zealand, then the flight to San Francisco, a four hour layover, and then five more hours across North America. A bit ragged this morning. I’ve been been reflecting, though, about my NECC experience — especially the conversations at the Leadership Symposium and a couple of the conversations I had at the EduBloggerCon. The idea is starting to jell in my mind that the next big… Hmmmm! As I wrote yesterday, it seems that everytime we sit down and talk about education reform, there seems to be something in the way, preventing us from what we want to do right now.
The gallery pages highlight a range of ePortfolio projects at SF State. Most projects are focused on the Department/Program level implementation of ePortfolios, with the exception of a gallery dedicated to portfolios created at the course-level. Each department will feature the following:

I was in a session about e-portfolios and standards the other day run by Allison Miller & Owen O’Neill. While listening I kept wondering how much e-portfolios will materialise in education and was experiencing considerable difficulties understanding what they are. I’d heard they were a solution in search of a problem and am also aware they are re-emerging as a training issue. Allison was articulate (and smart) in her talking about e-portfolios as a concept rather than a particular application – however I wonder if something keeps being reduced to a concept if it will become tangible. And can you apply standards to a concept? Going back to the old days – what did people do before they had a Resume?

The P in PLE
Contentions are the by-product of dualistic thinking: "I can't be both" and "there's no two ways about it". Resolutions are the result of holistic thinking: "It takes both" and "They are two sides of one coin". Personal learning environments are not a contentious issue, but the dichotomous thinking about them is.
Versions of my Online Portfolios
I am an advocate of using common tools to build electronic portfolios. At certain points in the process, most electronic portfolio artifacts are created with common desktop tools. The challenge has been the authoring/organizing software.Electronic portfolios (also referred to as eportfolios or webfolios) are gaining recognition as a valuable tool for learners, instructors, and academic organizations. Photo credit: Johanna Goodyear , Stephen Coburn Bold proclamations laud webfolios as " higher education's new got-to-have-it tool, the show-and-tell platform of the millennium ", and as a tool that " may have the most significant effect on education since the introduction of formal schooling ". Laying aside new-technology hype and enthusiasm, eportfolios can best be viewed as a reactionary response to fundamental shifts in learning, teaching, technology, and learner needs in a climate where learning is no longer perceived as confined to formal education. Portfolios have long been the showcase tools of artists' expressions of competencies and work completed.

"With the intention of creating my own unique 'brand image' for future job opportunities and graduate school, my web portfolio has offered me the chance to not only differentiate myself from other business students, but more importantly, has given me the opportunity to develop my technological skills as an online marketer." Dan (Marketing, Psychology, & Sociology, 2009) skillfully uses his reflective comments to present himself as a 'well-rounded', thoughtful and goal-oriented individual in his e-Portfolio. First year students, don't be intimidated by the amount of evidence - instead learn from his style! Has he differentiated himself from others? You bet!

Because remember — this happened once before. The LMS vendors came in with an assessment and management tool, and told us it was an elearning solution. At the time, I was on the other side of the equation, with a company trying to sell award-winning goal-based scenario software to colleges who were saying but we already HAVE an elearning solution. It’s called Blackboard. Or WebCT. Or whatever.Definition : A portfolio at the K-12 education level is essentially a collection of a student's work which can be used to demonstrate his or her skills and accomplishments. What is a portfolio ? - A portfolio is an organized, purposeful collection of student work that displays knowledge, understanding, skills, accomplishments, interests, and achievement over a specified time.

Developing Student Electronic Portfolios
Electronic portfolios (also referred to as eportfolios or webfolios) are gaining recognition as a valuable tool for learners, instructors, and academic organizations. Bold proclamations laud webfolios as “higher education’s new “got to have it” tool – the show-and-tell platform of the millennium” ( Cohen and Hibbitts , 2004), and as a tool that “may have the most significant effect on education since the introduction of formal schooling” ( Love, McKean, and Gathercoal , 2004). Laying aside new-technology hype and enthusiasm, eportfolios can best be viewed as a reactionary response to fundamental shifts in learning, teaching, technology, and learner needs in a climate where learning is no longer perceived as confined to formal education.
