Benefits include improved information management, skills demonstration, collaboration, and measurement of learning over time. Users can showcase qualifications for academic recognition or hiring. The portfolio also supports lifelong learning through goal setting, skills tracking, and professional development.
This document discusses the potential for an ePortfolio career development platform in Manitoba called Career Portfolio Manitoba.

It summarizes presentations and discussions at several ePortfolio conferences that year regarding trends in the use of ePortfolios. Key topics included the growing role of social media and mobile technologies in ePortfolios, the development of digital identity, and uses of ePortfolios across different educational levels and for lifelong learning and professional development. The document also provides an overview of the Open Badges initiative and its potential to recognize informal learning through alternative credentials.

The document discusses challenges in mapping from concrete syntax (CS) to abstract syntax (AS) for OCL expressions and proposes solutions using an OCL-based domain-specific language for CS to AS mappings. It addresses issues like CS to AS mappings, name resolution across the CS and AS models using environments, and disambiguation of syntactically ambiguous CS elements. The solutions involve defining the mappings and resolution/disambiguation rules using OCL. This provides a formal and automatically verifiable approach compared to informal specifications. Ongoing work includes generating executable model-to-model transformations from the OCL-based CS to AS specifications.

This document discusses balancing patient choice, evidence-based practice, and quality improvement in healthcare. It critiques rational choice theories that do not fully consider how to measure outcomes or whose priorities are represented. The boundaries between options are fertile places for knowledge but difficult to navigate when decisions must be made. Data is presented showing gaps between evidence and real-world practice, such as lag times and missing patient data. Further work is needed if citizens agree, such as ensuring health records capture lifestyle factors and family histories to better assess patient risk levels and care.
This document discusses simulation reports for CAPLA 2010 and focuses on the mature worker and recognizing prior learning. It outlines developing a vision and plan for recognizing prior learning for mature workers and implementing that recognition plan.
