This document discusses the potential of lifelong ePortfolios and addresses challenges in implementing ePortfolio systems. It notes that while ePortfolios provide benefits like archiving learning over time, connecting to frameworks and tracking skills, faculty often resist new technologies and students may not see value. Successful implementations focus on learning rather than just assessment, involve faculty champions, and emphasize small, supported tasks. The future of ePortfolios depends on open systems that connect records, credentials, networks and labor market information to support lifelong learning and employability.

Open Badges - Milestones for Learning and CareersDon Presant
Originally developed for the CAPLA 2015 Conference and updated several time since then, this fast-paced presentation explores evolving global practices for digital credentialing systems using the Mozilla Open Badges standard.
It frames the needs, outlines how Open Badges meet those needs, then provides living examples, case studies, and active research across a wide variety of contexts.
Open Badges are used as digital credentials by educators, professional bodies and employers around the world because they provide a better way to recognize learning, especially learning that takes place outside a classroom. They are trustable quality tokens of skills and achievements that can be displayed in e-portfolios and social media.
Open Badges are modular and ”stackable”: they can be linked together into flexible development pathways and can support Competency Based Education and RPL.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

11. Naysayers
What one contentious Scotsman says
E-portfolios – 7 reasons why I don’t want my life
in a shoebox:
1. Uninteroperable
2. Institutionalised
3. Human nature
4. People are not learners
5. Boundary problems
6. Plus ca change
7. Recruitment myth
DONALD CLARK PLAN B
12. Lessons learned
• Faculty were not included in initial focus groups
and did not want to learn another technology
tool; Blackboard was enough
• Should have identified some faculty promoters
• Underestimated the time to implement and
technology problems, don’t choose vendor with
most bells and whistles, simple is better
• Students did not see the value of the eportfolio
• Should have had students pay for eportfolio

16. Questions that need asking
• Do you have an ePortfolio?
• Is an ePortfolio just another way of getting a grade?
• Is ePortfolio just another way of “reporting up”?
• If ePortfolios are used for learning assessment, are you
prepared to assess for prior learning?
• If it is a tool for transition:
– What happens when a student brings an ePortfolio to your
institution, say from high school?
– Will your students want to keep their ePortfolios after they
graduate?
– If they do, can they? Is this a favour from you, or a deliberate
strategy?
31. Success Factors
Organizational perspective
• Burning platform?
– Program outcomes > institutional accreditation
• Principles of change management
– Accelerating vs. accepting the maxim: “change
happens one retirement at a time”
• Faculty portfolios (“eportfolio is good for you”)
– Graduate portfolios
– Hiring Portfolios
– Continuing Professional Development
• Department portfolio to support accreditation
– But don’t let this need “drive the bus”
32. Success Factors
Student perspective
• Watch the frame of reference
– Emphasize “internal” (personal values & interests) over “external”
(expectations of employers & recruiters)
• Focus on learning, not just assessment
– PLE, lifelong companion, personal narrative
– Private, shared and public space
• Start early and monitor progress
• Emphasize content over technology
• Opportunities for peer interaction
– Peer review, brainstorming, portfolio buddies, presenting portfolios
• Take small steps with lots of scaffolding
– Simple tasks to begin, provide examples
– Provide technical and content support and feedback
• Eat your own dog food (i.e. build your own eportfolio)

• NO, because:
36. Learner-owned Lifelong ePortfolio
Summary thoughts
• ePortfolio as a lens for the world
– Personal Learning Environment
– Performance support platform
– Recursive assessment platform
• ePortfolio as a dialogue
– Group ePortfolios, PLNs, learning communities
– Multiple tools, aggregated by need
– Simplify/standardize the touch points
• Destination vs. journey
37. Final thought
The future is already
here; it’s just not very
evenly distributed.
