Global Education Wiki Should Graduate Students Create E-Portfolios? - Manage Your Career By David Brooks A year ago, I noticed that more and more fellowship applications asked whether I had a Web site for my dissertation project. I doubt that my negative response to that question explained the regretful letters of rejection I received last spring. But the question and the thin envelopes did get me wondering about how we, as graduate students, craft our online presence. Too often, I think we do very little of the crafting. I Googled myself for the first time a few weeks ago. When I went looking to see how other graduate students created a virtual likeness, I found more of the same. We post about ourselves in the blogosphere more than anywhere else. By and large, in doling out useful or playful insights, graduate-student bloggers are speaking to a closed circle and using pseudonyms. Should we be? I recalled a workshop on career building for graduate students, offered by one of my professors, who evaluated a few online teaching portfolios created by graduate students.
Manual Diseño PLN Change Magazine - January-February 2011 by Terrel L. Rhodes We seem to be beginning a new wave of technology development in higher education. Freeing student work from paper and making it organized, searchable, and transportable opens enormous possibilities. … In short, ePortfolios might be the biggest thing in technology innovation on campus. We are inundated with technology on our campuses and in our lives. The following article focuses on one such use—student electronic portfolios, or e-portfolios—as a rapidly emerging, powerful, iterative mode for capturing student work and enabling faculty to assess student learning. This development has benefits that extend beyond the campus. Part of the current surge of interest in and use of e-portfolios flows from the decades-long requirement of regional and professional accrediting organizations for demonstrations that students are learning what faculty expect them to learn. Rubrics for Learning and Assessment E-portfolios as a Medium for Learning As Helen Chen has observed,
MoodleMayhem Welcome to the Moodle Mayhem wiki, a site dedicated to sharing what is going on with Moodle in K-12. Wondering why focus on a wiki solution when Moodle has it all? Well, Moodles are, by their design, closed environments. It is hoped that combining the ease of use of a wiki with Moodle resources sharing and an email list, we will all be able to build on this project. Please don't hesitate to share your ideas about Moodle use in K-16 educational settings, as well as business, here.

The Electronic Portfolio Boom: What's it All About? The Electronic Portfolio Boom: What's it All About? By Trent Batson11/26/02 The term "electronic portfolio," or "ePortfolio," is on everyone's lips. We often hear it associated with assessment, but also with accreditation, reflection, student resumes, and career tracking. It's as if this new tool is the answer to all the questions we didn't realize we were asking. A portfolio, electronic or paper, is simply an organized collection of completed work. Student work is now mostly in electronic form, or is based on a canonical electronic file even if it's printed out: papers, reports, proposals, simulations, solutions, experiments, renditions, graphics, or just about any other kind of student work. We've reached a critical mass, habits have changed, and as we reach electronic "saturation" on campus, new norms of work are emerging. We seem to be beginning a new wave of technology development in higher education. The momentum is building.
teachweb2 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. Would this be a conversation you'd be interested in taking part of? List updated 9/17/2014 For the archived list, click here.
