e-Portfolio Re-labelling the tin
Who owns the e-portfolio? • Company owns the software • College pays the licence • Student creates the evidence • But College no longer subscribes • Student no longer at the College • Open source solution
e-Portfolio To infinity and beyond
Present Thoughts • Can e-portfolios be used to widen participation in HE? Maybe, as long as we understand what the term means. • Is an e-portfolio simply a repository of e-material presented for assessment? • AMS (Assessment Management System) • ILP or PLP • Reflective element
Present Thoughts • Is there a use for e-portfolios on Level 4 courses? Yes as long as we do not have a restricted view of what makes up an e-portfolio.
Present thoughts • To introduce the use of e-portfolios as part of a college development to evaluate them as a tool to encourage wider participation in HE. Too ambitious at the moment HE are not ready, students are not ready, Colleges are not ready • The key is staff development
Present thoughts • Touse e-portfolios on at least one module of a Level 4 course to gather evidence of assessment. • Used on three level 4 courses
Present Thoughts • To widen the appeal of e-portfolios in more curriculum areas. Done it. • To widen the use of e-portfolios beyond the capture of evidence. Done it. • To extend our use of e-portfolios to aid progression from Level 3 to Level 4. Too early. • To increase accessibility of IT to aid the development of e-portfolio usage. Too early.
Present Thoughts • How far does an e-portfolio web site and an intranet satisfy the e-learning needs of the organisation? What benefits come from a VLE? • How far does a VLE (in an adapted form) meet the organisational need for an e-portfolio?
