What is an ePortfolio

academictechwarwick

This document discusses what an eportfolio is and its purposes. An eportfolio is a digital collection of work and other academic evidence that can be used for assessment, personal development, and showcasing skills to employers. Eportfolios allow students to upload assignments, receive feedback, and reflect on learning. They typically serve multiple purposes at once, combining functions like assessment and skill demonstration. The document also provides information about the features and use of the MyPortfolio eportfolio system at Warwick University.

An LMS (learning management system) is a software application that administrators, instructors, and learners use to distribute, track, and manage educational courses and training programs. It allows instructors to deliver course materials to students, track student progress, and keep records. Traditionally, LMSs are used by educational institutions to deliver e-learning courseware and popularize online education. LMSs deliver and manage instructional content, handle student registration and administration, and track student assessment and work.

SLN SOLsummit 2010 http://slnsolsummit2010.edublogs.org February 25, 2010 Bill Pelz, Professor of Psychology (1968) and Jane Verri, Assistant Professor of Psychology (2002), Herkimer County Community College Introducing: the Herkimer HyFlex! Two seasoned instructors at Herkimer County Community College are pioneering a new instructional design strategy which combines two current pedagogical trends in higher education: hybrid course design and heutagogy. * Hybrid course design: some portion of required class activity occurs within the classroom environment, the remainder occurs within the online environment. * Heutagogy: learners assume as much responsibility for determining their own learning conditions as possible (what to learn, how to learn, where to learn, when to learn, etc.) * HyFlex course design: all or most course learning activities are offered both in class and online. Learning activities can include content presentation (lecture / multimedia / PowerPoint / etc.) content engagement (class and small group discussion / group projects / research papers / etc.) and assessment (quizzes / exams / written assignments / etc.). Each learner determines for her/himself which environment to attend for each activity. The Herkimer Hyflex model utilizes two instructors who agree to team teach a double-enrollment section of students. These two instructors collaborate in the development of all course learning activities. One instructor assumes primary responsibility for synchronous face-to-face instruction, the other for asynchronous online instruction. Students are required to attend an initial face-to-face class meeting to receive some ANGEL training and review the class policies and procedures. Then, with the exception of a required mid-semester and end-of-semester face-to-face focus group class designed to allow students to express their thoughts about the course structure and content, each student is allowed to decide which learning environments (classroom, online, or both) to utilize for every graded learning activity.

Blackboard is a learning management system and courseware tool that allows instructors to create and manage online courses and content. It provides features like announcements, discussions boards, online assignments, quizzes, gradebook tracking, and other tools. Some benefits of Blackboard include increased availability of course materials online, quick feedback on assignments, and tracking of student usage and progress. However, some drawbacks are that it can be difficult to reach consensus online and not all experts may participate in discussions.
