1. ReviewingePortfolioplatforms to pilot teachingportfolios at theFacultyof Health Sciencies at UiT. Activitiesundertaken at therequest and in collaborationwiththe Centre for Faculty Development (HelPed) at UiT. Section for Digital Education Services, IT dept., UiT.

2. Steps in theproject:

3. Requirementspecifications for theteachingportfoliosolution from HelPed • The specificationoutlinedthecontentsections in theportfolio. • Thesecould be flexiblymodified by theindividual in line withtheofficial guidelines.

4. Present support for digital teaching folios and the digital strategy guidelines for thefuture system. In line with the UiTs IT digital strategy

5. Three ePortfolio platformprovidersselected for a closerexamination. • Feb 2019: Instructure, which delivers Canvas LMS, acquiresPortfoliumwithePortfoliofunctionalityavailable via LTI. • March 2019: Pathbriteinformedabout a mergerwith Cengage. No plans to continuecollaborationwith Canvas LMS.

14. An ePortfolio prototype in PebblePad 1. Teacherbuilds a template / scaffold An ePortfoliooutlinecan be designed and shared by theteacher, i.e. a workbookwith multiple pagescan serve as a template for a teachingportfolio. * Screenshot from test environmentwith simple workbook design containing multiple pages in PebblePad module

15. An ePortfolio prototype in PebblePad 2. Assignment from Canvas to PebblePad An instructorinitiates an assignment to be completed in PebblePad and shares an earliercreatedworkbook as a resource. * Screenshot from test environmentwith ATLAS administrative module

16. Eportfolio prototype in PebblePad 4. Student workswiththetemplate The status ofassignment is beingtracked by the Atlas administrative tool in PebblePad. * Screenshot from test environment in PebblePad

18. An ePortfolio prototype in PebblePad 6. Feedback and grading panel A feedback and grading panel availabledirectlyonthesubmittedwork from the Atlas tool. Grades arereported back to thegradebook in Canvas LMS * Screenshot from test environment in PebblePad

19. Platform evaluationcriteria: usability A platform from Portfoliumpresents a simple and intuitive interfaceboth to the end user and the assessor/administrator. Wefound it easy to navigatetheplatformguided by context-sensitive tips and the online real-time support . PebblePad appears more complex, especiallywithrespect to the ATLAS management backend and presents a steeperlearningcurve. Weexperienced a prompt response to email support requests.

20. Platform evaluationcriteria: scalability * Reporting functionality have not beentested due to little data available. The preliminaryevaluation is basedonthedescription given during theplatformpresentation and theassociateddocumentation. With flexiblereporting as a criticalrequirement, werecommend more testing with a largerdataset. Possibly more specific reports can be defined in practice.

21. Platform evaluationcriteria: flexibility Bothfaculties and students usingPortfoliumretain a free, lifelongaccess to theirportfoliosaftertheyleave or changetheinstitution. PebblePadprovides Personal Pebble + Alumniaccount for as long as theinstitutionpaysthePebblePadlicense and up to 3 yearsafterthat. At thispoint a lowannualfeewill be charged.

22. Platform evaluationcriteria: interoperability *Displaying a list ofresearchpublications from CRIStinon a facultyprofilepage is a desiredfeature whichcan be madeavailable via API.

23. Platform evaluationcriteria: security and networking
