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.

5 Steps To Make You A Better Researcher Research involves a lot of information and data which have to be easily and efficiently managed under tight deadlines and time restraints. The following steps will offer you a bit of insight into how you can become a better researcher using some simple web tools like mind maps and bookmarklets. 1. Use a bookmarking tool After hours, days and weeks of research, what a relief it is to find all your links and selected information gathered in a library of resources. ● researched links ● images ● text 2. As opposed to the linear thinking pattern, a mind map will allow you to visualize your research bookmarks in a non-linear format. 3. All the resources you gather on the mind map can be classified according to your research purpose, objectives and structure. ● organized ● manageable ● logical ● fun to work with 4. Research can be very demanding of your time, energy and resources. There isn’t a standard layout which applies to all research projects. 5.
ePortfolio - per la didattica e per il lavoro Cos'è l'ePortfolio? Qual è il suo valore pedagogico? Come usarlo ogni giorno nell'insegnamento? 25 Giugno 2015 Lo scorso 16 Giugno presso Working Capital a Bologna si sono incontrati insegnanti, studiosi, informatici, persone che si occupano di formazione, competenze, accesso al mondo del lavoro, per condividere esperienze e proposte di uso dell'ePortfolio, dagli Stati Uniti alla nostra Italia. Cos'è l'ePortfolio? Ma cominciamo con la prima domanda: cos'è l'ePortfolio? Nello scrivere, curare, portare avanti un ePortfolio i ragazzi sono infatti portati a riflettere su se stessi e sul proprio modo di apprendimento - non solo sul risultato dell'esercizio. ePortfolio per insegnare Ma ce lo spiega ancor meglio Giulia Guarnieri, che usa l'ePortfolio per insegnare letteratura italiana al Community College del Bronx, a New York: Studenti più coinvolti, contro il drop-out ePortfolio e lavoro: è il CV 2.0? ePortfolio + Open Badges Ascolta la registrazione dell'evento su Spreaker
Catalyst for Learning site 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.

Using Twitter to Enhance Your Research & Teaching: A Brief Introduction for Academics & Postgraduate Students E-portfolio Nella didattica, un e-portfolio è una raccolta mirata di informazioni e di artefatti[non chiaro] digitali che dimostra lo sviluppo e/o l'apprendimento di abilità e competenze da parte dello studente. La lettera «e» che precede la parola portfolio sta per electronic e indica il supporto su cui il portfolio è conservato o realizzato. Idealmente l'e-portfolio è interoperabile ad esempio con ambienti di apprendimento, servizi di reclutamento o per sostenere la continuità nel life-long learning. La struttura dell'e-portfolio[modifica | modifica wikitesto] L'e-portfolio diventa un vero e proprio ambiente di apprendimento on line che consente allo studente di ricostruire il proprio percorso formativo attraverso una serie di strumenti che lo guidano e lo supportano in questa costruzione. Questo percorso narrativo di ricostruzione ci consente di stabilire relazioni coerenti tra artefatti diversi e momenti successivi della nostra storia: Kennet J.

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. 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 We believe that use of the digital portfolio represents an opportunity to improve the quality of education, providing teachers and staff with valuable information to design individualised challenging learning experiences.

Citelighter (The Pinterest For Research) Launches Massive Global Learning Database For those of you who haven’t heard of the new(ish) startup Citelighter , take note: it’s a pretty awesome tool. I’ve been playing around with it and chatted with founders of the company last week and am thoroughly impressed. So what exactly is Citelighter and why should you care? How It Works - Like Pinterest, you download their toolbar which allows you to quickly capture content that you’re looking at online. - Then, you can add comments while they’re still fresh in your head (perhaps to remind you why you thought it was useful in case you forget later on?) - Once you’re done, you export your facts, citations, and notes to a word document to use later when writing a paper or creating a reference document. Today’s Announcement I think we can all agree that millions of articles = a whole lotta research material = awesome research papers written by you. “The team over at Citelighter has spent, and continues to spend, a lot of time with students understanding their research habits. 1. 2. 3.
Blog e Portfolio Digitali come strumenti di Self-Assessment Come si valutano le competenze acquisite dagli allievi? Può un “numero congruo di verifiche sommative” fornirci un quadro chiaro per formulare una valutazione delle competenze raggiunte da ciascun allievo che sia valida, equa ed oggettiva? Come si valutano inoltre le competenze trasversali? Premessa Molti docenti sensibili ai temi dell’innovazione didattica si sono posti questi interrogativi e sono molti quelli fra noi ad aver più volte riscontrato come la valutazione delle competenze rappresenti per molte ragioni uno scoglio nei percorsi di didattica innovativa. La scuola sta vivendo un momento di transizione, ed i sistemi tradizionali di verifica e valutazione non sempre si conciliano con le nuove metodologie di apprendimento attivo per competenze.

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.
