- 46. ePortfolio Management... In orderto 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
- 47. ePortfolio Management... ePortfolios donot 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.
