ePortfolio & Open Badges Maturity MatrixSerge Ravet
The Europortfolio team presented on July 2 2014 the "ePortfolios and Open Badges Maturity Matrix". The objective was to collect feedback from practitioners and experts on a document that is aimed at helping organisations to plan and reflect on current developments and lay the foundations for the development of a review tool (self-assessment) that will be used to plan, monitor and review ePortfolios and Open Badges policies, technologies and practices.
What was presented is an alpha version (draft) of the Matrix and we are looking forward to the feedback of the community to produce a beta version that will be used to build the self-assessment tool. Based on the outcomes of the self-assessment tool's exploitation, a final version of the Matrix will be produced.
If you want to start contributing, the maturity matrix is accessible at:

The document discusses eportfolios, including defining them, their purposes, types, benefits, process, tools, criteria for selection, and management. Eportfolios are defined as containers for collecting and organizing artifacts in different media types, and as a reflective process of interpreting learning. Their purposes can include supporting learning goals, showcasing achievement, and documenting standards attainment. Types include process, showcase, and accountability portfolios. Benefits comprise engaging learners through multimedia, facilitating extensive reflection, and enabling social networking and feedback. Effective management requires embedding eportfolios in teaching and allowing time for student reflection and feedback. Future directions may involve linking eportfolios to standards, mobile technologies, and using various web tools without a single container

The LEGO Maturity & Capability Model ApproachLuigi Buglione
“Maturity model” (MM) (based on Crosby’s original idea) has been one of the main buzzwords over the past 20 years. A variety of MMs have been created in several application domains, from Software Engineering to Contract Management. Despite several models intending to cover the same domain, their PRMs (Process Reference Models) typically have different scopes, do not always cover the same set of processes, or have different levels of depth, or do not express the same level of granularity when describing concepts. Thus some important questions from the MM users’ viewpoint arise: how to choose the right models for our needs? After selecting those models, how to build a new, tailored MM based on several sources and customized to a specific domain? This paper motivates these important questions and proposes a way to choose, combine and adapt the contents from multiple MMs within a generic-domain approach we call ‘LEGO’ (Living EnGineering prOcess), based upon the well-known kids’ toy that stimulates creativity through combining different bricks. We present three case studies, one of them based upon the development of the Medi SPICE model, illustrating how the proposed approach may be used to develop MCM (Maturity & Capabilty Models) in this context.

Professor Lourdes Guàrdia, How to evaluate generic Competences using Web 2.0:...mediazoo
One of the demands that today’s society is making of the European Space of
Higher Education (ESHE) is the establishment of a system that favors providing students with a comprehensive education that aims to achieve the optimum development of the skills needed in our current society. Another requirement concerns reforming the methodologies applied in classrooms, focusing the emphasis on learning and evaluation (personal, social and professional) based on competences and giving students a more prominent role in these processes. This social and academic framework is based on an organic model of information in which information is reused, reinterpreted and returned.
We are talking about promoting complex methodological changes which involve the redefinition of the whole concept of learning and evaluation which are key aspects of the education system. Faced with this outlook, the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) has devised a new transverse evaluation instrument based on learning competences: the eTransfolio.
