Great Expectations: A tale of e-portfolio implementation
Overview • Background • What we did • Success/Challenges • Feedback • The next chapter • Questions
Background • LJMU • Personal development Planning • World of Work (WOW)
What we did • Purchased Blackboard e-Portfolio • Development • Pilot Feb 2007 • Creation of Support Resources • Staff Training/Awareness • Launch summer 2007
Successes • Ease of use • Structured approach • Modest first year take up 20% • Student feedback • Staff feedback
Student Feedback • “Easy to share as well, rather than having to send everything in one go you just click a button” • “It takes the CV into the modern era”
Student Feedback “It would be very easy to use it for a reference for any work you’ve done over the year, when you come to look for jobs.”
Challenges • Sharing issues • Management of received portfolios • Student Experience website • Institutional culture • Upgrade to BB8?
Student Feedback • “If the tutors teach how to use it (e-portfolio) in smaller groups, then that might be more useful for people” • “I didn’t like using it…I don’t like using computers at all “ • “difficult to share …I must have been doing it wrong cos I’m rubbish at computer”
The next chapter • Ownership • New staff to use e-portfolio for CPD • More hands on approach • Training packs • Website rebranded
The end? Questions…
