The ePortfolio as a Container: ...uses electronic technologies as the container, allowing students/teachers to collect and organize portfolio artifacts in many media types (audio, video, graphics, text)... Barrett, 2005

The ePortfolio as a Process: “...what is produced when persons collect, select, reﬂectively interpret, and/or present their own evidence to support their assertions about what they have learned, know and can or should do...” Cambridge, 2003

“...ideas of what an e-portfolio 'is' are complex and to an extent the deﬁnition and purpose will vary depending on the perspective from which a particular person is approaching the concept...” http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/darthdowney/ JISC ePortfolio Infokit

Selecting an ePortfolio Solution

Should an eportfolio include all aspects of a student’s life and learning? www.ﬂickr.com/photos/pasq

What happens when a student leaves school? Moves to a new class? Transfers? www.ﬂickr.com/photos/bigtallguy

Who retains ownership and control? www.ﬂickr.com/photos/sveinhal

Open to the world? www.ﬂickr.com/photos/willfuller

Are your parents and teachers ready? http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/

How do your current internet & computer use policies cater for eportfolios and use of Web 2.0 tools?

Will your eportfolios play a role in reporting achievement against the National Standards?

Selecting an ePortfolio Solution Purpose and Perspectives Student Parents ePortfolio Solution School Teacher Management/ Leadership Government Policy?

Selecting an ePortfolio Solution Parent/School Students Teacher Leadership Communty Purpose: Non-Negotiable Criteria/features: What capability does the eportfolio need to support this purpose? Additional criteria/features: What else do you want to be able to do?

Selecting an ePortfolio Solution Parent / Students Teacher Leadership School Com Purpose: • Support assessment for learning. (criteria, feedback, feedforward, peer/self- assessment, reﬂection) • Celebrate and share achievement. • Ownership of learning Non-Negotiable Criteria/features: What capability does the eportfolio need to support this purpose? • Upload/embed post learning examples (photos, movies, Web 2.0 creations) • Allow comments • Ability to customise/personalise Additional criteria/features: What else do you want to be able to do? Student retains ownership even if leaving or transferring schools.

ePortfolio Management... In order to be effective and support the process of student learning, eportfolios: •need to be embedded into your teaching and learning. •require a high level of access to technology. •you need to set time aside for students to ﬁrst learn how and then to actively reﬂect and give feedback on learning. Start small, and work your way up. Get students actively blogging in a class blog and move on to individual spaces

ePortfolio Management... ePortfolios do not add to your workload. Instead you will need to change some of the ways you: • give feedback • facilitate reﬂection • engage students in self and peer assessments and • you need to adapt learning and teaching so that the process and outcomes can be shared digitally within the eportfolio platform.

What else? “Learning that mlearning happens moblogging across mfolios locations, or mportfolios that takes advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies.” Wikipedia http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/

“...students can literally carry their eportfolio around with them and update it at any time in any place.” http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/nirak/ MOSEP, 2007
