This document discusses portfolios and ePortfolios as tools for employability and career development. It defines portfolios and ePortfolios, explaining that portfolios collect evidence of a person's learning and skills, while ePortfolios are digital versions. EPortfolios allow users to showcase qualifications, reflect on learning, and network online. The document provides examples of ePortfolios and argues they help develop essential skills and can be used by students, job seekers, and employers to enhance career management.
An ePortfolio is an online repository that allows users to organize accomplishments like documents, artifacts, and links. It provides easy access to print, electronic, and multimedia achievements. An ePortfolio also serves as a reflective space to illuminate new dimensions of teaching, research, and service.

Electronic portfolios allow students to gather, edit, and evaluate evidence of their learning experiences and skills over time. They compile selective examples of a student's electronic work and activities to demonstrate what they have learned. Portfolios serve as both an archive of a student's work and a tool for learning management and reflection. While some schools currently use portfolios, the document recommends that districts research content management systems, provide professional development for teachers, and implement a staggered integration of portfolios starting in elementary school to better assess student competencies and growth from kindergarten through graduation.

Next steps proposed include piloting ePortfolio use with immigrant clients and collaborating on developing a competency portfolio model.
This document outlines an agenda for a webinar on e-portfolios. The webinar will include introductions, presentations on what e-portfolios are and their implications for e-learning, a demonstration of an e-portfolio system, and a question and answer session. Attendees will learn about using e-portfolios for learning, integrating the Mahara system with a learning management system, and how e-portfolios can support connected, personalized, and project-based learning models.
A multimedia instructional message uses words and pictures to promote learning. It can include printed text and illustrations in a book or narration and animation on a computer. There are 7 principles of effective multimedia design: the multimedia principle, spatial contiguity principle, temporal contiguity principle, coherence principle, modality principle, redundancy principle, and individual differences principle. These principles indicate that students learn better when words and pictures are near each other, presented simultaneously rather than successively, and exclude extraneous material. Design should also match formats to content and individual learner abilities.
The document discusses how learning styles can be applied in e-learning environments. It describes a demonstration e-learning session about radio transmission modes that incorporates different learning styles. Learners are asked to identify the learning styles used and suggest ways to design lessons about first aid kits and footing a ladder to include various learning styles. The goal is to show how considering learning styles can improve the design of e-learning resources.

Asynchronous learning allows students to access online learning resources outside of time and place constraints, emphasizing peer-to-peer interaction and self-study. Synchronous learning refers to a group learning the same content at the same time in the same or different places using tools like lectures, web conferencing, or live chat. A study found asynchronous learning is well-suited for self-paced learning while synchronous supports real-time classroom interaction and immediacy of feedback.

This document summarizes a project that developed an online supported assessment environment using a wiki platform to improve completion rates for a Certificate IV in Frontline Management qualification. A team selected the Wetpaint wiki tool, adapted assessment materials, and piloted the online environment. The pilot saw a 90% successful completion rate. Benefits included increased learner motivation, coaching during assessment, and continual feedback. Issues around privacy, etiquette, and accessing the site were addressed. The client was impressed by the collaborative nature and coaching opportunities. The assessment model involved preparation, startup induction and training, a 6-week assessment period with support and feedback, and a completion week with surveys and outcomes.

This document outlines the process for an online assessment model provided by Byte Size Assistance. It involves 4 key phases: 1) Client sign off on a quote for customization, 2) Preparation of customized wiki pages and templates, 3) A 6-week assessment period where participants post responses and evidence online and receive feedback, and 4) A completion phase where results are analyzed and participants are notified of outcomes. The goal is to provide a collaborative online environment for assessment.
This document outlines a blended learning project that covers 6 units of competency including managing workplace relations, developing marketing strategies, financial fundamentals, monitoring staff performance, handling the media, and dealing with conflict situations.

The document introduces the topic of online social networking. It provides several definitions of social networking, including expanding business and social contacts through connections with other individuals, groups of people drawn together by common interests, and online services that allow users to interact and share interests. Examples of social networking sites mentioned are Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Ning. The document then shifts to discussing social networking as a tool for learning, noting that study groups can help students clarify uncertainties, improve understanding by answering each other's questions, and benefit from taking on a teaching role to others.
