This presentation will focus on the use of an eportfolio (PebblePad) to provide timely formative feedback on long case histories in seven clinical schools across the University of Sydney Medical Program. A common complaint from students and residents is that they are not given enough feedback in the clinical setting. This project was designed to offer feedback on written cases and, in addition, to gather data on who was actually viewing the presentations of long cases in the clinical setting. From 2015, a required formative assessment was introduced, consisting of eight long cases which were presented orally (with immediate feedback given by a supervisor or other staff), then written up and submitted via Pebblepad. Formative assessment was provided by a Medical Lead in each clinical school also via the eportfolio. Students had the option of reflecting on their written cases.

A/Professor Jia-Lin Yang has made a distinctive contribution by creating and delivering a ‘scientist-based’, integrative professional, career and ePortfolio learning (IPCEL) curriculum for senior undergraduate cancer science (PATH3208) students. His interactive ePortfolio approach encourages students to think and act like a scientist and to develop the understanding and professional skills for a career in science, providing students with the confidence and capabilities needed ‘to be’ a scientist and leading to careers in science. He used self-efficacy assessment to evaluate and foster student authentic learning. The application of the interactive eportfolio has synergised student 'scientist-based' integrative professional and career development learning. The consequence of the IPCEL approach on students by the end of the course is a high proportion of them get into postgraduate research studies, of whom over half are female, because the students have been motivated as evident by high academic performance, high satisfaction and high self-efficacy.

The use of formative assessment within all types of health sciences education programs is generally acknowledged as a necessity when measuring student attainment of knowledge. However, even with this acknowledgement, there is still a general lack of understanding of the true potential, benefits, and risks of this type of assessment. The lack of formative assessments is especially true for students in their third and fourth year of clinical rotations where learning opportunities can be dependent on patient visits. This presentation will address the idea that the implementation of formative assessments during this time frame will enhance the student learning experience in clinical rotations to include the necessary content for each specific rotation, while also ensuring that clerkship objectives are consistently met each month.
Audience response systems (ARS) permit students to answer electronically displayed multiple-choice questions using a remote control device. In higher education, more and more lecturers use ARS to engage their students more intensively, especially when it comes to mass lectures. This paper deals with the questions how ARS as an innovative technology can foster the feedback of students during ex-cathedra teaching and how this feedback can contribute to quality assurance in academic teaching. The examination of advantages and challenges of using ARS as well as of their didactical and technical potentials combines theoretical considerations with an online survey among the more than two hundred students enrolled in a mass lecture held in winter term 2015 at the University of Innsbruck. Additionally, the responsible lecturers were asked to share their experience using an ARS for the first time. In closing, the paper provides some answers if and how ARS are valuable instruments to enhance quality assurance in higher education.

Evidence Based Practice – Aspiration vs Reality - Terry Young, Kate Mitchell ...ePortfolios Australia
Portfolios are an ideal medium to facilitate the collection of evidence of learning by students. Increasingly institutions are required to achieve accreditation of courses by reporting evidence of student learning to professional bodies. In this presentation, we will outline the methods by which La Trobe University, School of Education have shifted their teaching courses and assessment for AITSL in light of new requirements to include evidence-based practice. We will discuss the strategies and design methodologies we undertook as well as the real world challenges and issues we faced, and make links to lessons learned and how they could be applied to other fields.
Documentation of placement hours, activities undertaken while on placement, and assessment of skills and competencies form an essential component of the clinical placement of midwifery education programs across the country.
The Master of Nursing Program at La Trobe University would like to move from a cumbersome paper based Clinical Practice Assessment tool to an online system. Terry Young will present the results of the pilot project conducted in Semester 1 2013. The project used the new workbook function in PebblePad 3 which includes self-evaluation, provision of evidence and external user validation.

Eportfolio is an integral part of the implementation of Macquarie University’s award-winning Bachelor of Arts (BA) Transferable Skills Framework (TSF). BA students can directly correlate their academic work to real job requirements - connecting their learning (both inside and outside of the classroom) with career opportunities. The TSF is designed to make explicit connections between coursework and employability skills, assisting students in recognising the capabilities they gain during their educational journey. The ePortfolio tool is intertwined with the coursework, where students can curate a digital showcase of their curricular and other achievements, projects, and competencies. This presentation will narrate the story of integrating an ePortolio and associated pedagogy across the BA. The focus will be on the activities undertaken to ensure a programmatic implementation of an ePortfolio and the lessons learned from the first year of implementation.

"Macquarie University worked with students, academics, and major industry partners including the NSW Government, Accenture, Hays, EY, Deloitte, Adobe, and CBA in reimagining the Bachelor of Arts degree which won the Employability Award at the Australian Financial Review (AFR) Higher Education Awards 2020. The outcome of this voyage resulted in the creation of an innovative, transformative, and capability-driven Transferable Skills Framework that is embodied in the curriculum by integrating lifelong learning aspects with a strong emphasis on pedagogy, employability, and digital fluency.
To deliver these aspects, the University conducted a comprehensive technology landscape assessment which followed an enterprise-level implementation of a digital ePortfolio platform. A digital ecosystem was established by amalgamating ePortfolio technology with education design and employability. In this panel session, the discussion will be centred around the critical aspects of implementing a befitting digital ePortfolio system and ways to leverage it in support of enhancing lifelong learning."
In my presentation I am going to talk about the importance of having an Eportfolio for IT students and IT graduates. The focus is mainly on using GitHub as a platform for IT students to build their portfolio efficiently to present what they are good at to potential employers. In this presentation I will talk about how recruiters target specific candidates on GitHub. Also, there will be a comparison between Graduates GitHub’s portfolios and those who are stablished in their careers. Also, will provide some examples of how students or recent graduates can showcase their understanding of particular topics, or their interest in a particular field to make it as easy as possible for their prospective employers to understand their areas of expertise.

Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2: Resource development by ...ePortfolios Australia
The Digital Ethics ePortfolio Task Force for the Association for Authentic, Experiential, & Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) continued to bring together international ePortfolio scholars and practitioners to establish research-based digital practices for ePortfolio stakeholders, including institutions, students, educators, and administrators. Phase one developed an online interactive resource, Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 1, which outlines strategies, scenarios, and resources around ten principles. This second iteration adds additional principles related to ePortfolio evaluation practices; practices that encourage diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and visibility of labour. In Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2, revisions to the original ten principles integrate information regarding eProfessionalism and legal issues that can intersect with ePortfolio practice. The original online visual interface has also been upgraded. This expanded version of the principles document continues to articulate explicit and applicable practices relevant to ePortfolio creators, educators, platform creators, and administrators of programs and institutions with ePortfolio requirements.

The benefits of reflective practice and eportfolio based learning are widely acknowledged in the literature, however, little work has evaluated its impact vis-à-vis a Culinary Arts curriculum. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore third year BA Culinary and Gastronomic Science student experiences of developing a reflective practice eportfolio at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. A mixed method approach, using convenience sampling was implemented. Semi-structured interviews were held with experts in the field of eportfolio based learning and reflective practice in Ireland. Participants were voluntarily surveyed, to gather information on their experiences of developing a reflective practice eportfolio. The results highlighted tangible opportunities and barriers for undertaking a reflective practice eportfolio for the participants. Eportfolio based learning is rooted in a complex pedagogy, and its potential can only be realised if the processes underlying reflective practice are properly understood by all stakeholders. It’s imperative that the purpose of the reflective practice eportfolio is clearly defined, requirements are communicated, digital capabilities are measured. and training is delivered, rubrics are created, exemplars are shared, and support is provided, in order for it to be successfully adopted. Positive results depends on successful implementation.
Digital ethics and portfolios: What's next? Kristina Hoeppner Megan Haskins ePortfolios Australia
Over the last two years, the AAEEBL Digital Ethics Task Force explored principles of digital ethics and how they relate to portfolio work and can be integrated into portfolios. In this conversation, the Task Force wants to explore with participants what practical implementations of the principles can look like, discuss possible research topics and collaborations, and where to go next with this topic. Establishing the principles was the first step in an effort to raise awareness about digital ethics in portfolios and support students, academics, researchers, staff, institutions, and also portfolio platform creators to come together, discuss often difficult topics around digital ethics, and how to improve on our current practices.

The strategies provide practical suggestions around the five concepts held within DEIBD and relate them to portfolio work.
Assessment and Feedback Using ePortfolios: Shifting to a New Paradigm of Prac...ePortfolios Australia
ePortfolio practice focuses on reflective pedagogies and iterative submissions of student assessment responses. Students are encouraged to store learnings in their ePortfolio to showcase their strengths to different audiences. Innovations in practice come and go depending on buy-in and resource allocation. Once again, the world is significantly changing and the ‘new’ future of post COVID-19 remains ambiguous. In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift that facilitates a dialogic process around the collection of feedback a student receives in their ePortfolio. The design of an assessment regime sets the stage for active student participation in curating their individual feedback from self, peers, educators or industry. The aim of this process is for students to get a personalised reconstruction of their learning progress, through collaborative and social learning opportunities. In this paper we will offer further explanation of how this paradigm impacts practice in today’s digital era.

Student-Led, Individually-Created Courses (SLICCs) are a scalable and flexible experiential learning and assessment framework using an e-portfolio, awarding academic credit for experiential learning. The framework is based on five learning outcomes that students contextualise for themselves, with support from within the framework and feedback from faculty. These learning outcomes are stratified across the academic levels, through pre-honours, honours, masters, to professional doctorate. The framework provides the flexibility for faculty to offer boundaries to the learning experience, or for students to entirely define their own experience, bringing the extra-curricular into the formal curriculum. SLICCs are supported by a small team, and a comprehensive array of resources for students, tutors, faculty and administrators (more information available at http://www.ed.ac.uk/sliccs). SLICCs are now becoming well-established across the University of Edinburgh, with more than 20 courses using the framework, and there is increasing interest from other institutions in viewing and adopting the approach.

Building a Pandemic ePortfolio using the Karuta Open Source Portfolio 3.0 Jac...ePortfolios Australia
"The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed the landscape of higher education. Over a short period of time, courses have moved online with students being required to adapt to new ways of learning.
Although many tools have been used to enhance the student learning experience, many researchers have long advocated a more holistic, personal, and integrative approach. As eloquently presented by Jenson and Treuer (2014), learning should be put in a much broader context where courses, co-curricular activities, internships, work, and personal experiences, contribute to what are called 20th century lifelong learning skills (collecting, self-regulating, reflecting, integrating, and collaborating).
The Pandemic ePortfolio is an illustration of this more integrative approach using Karuta 3.0, a simple and flexible open source ePortfolio tool supported by the Apereo Foundation. See how a simple yet powerful workflow has been designed to help students make sense of this difficult period.

"A pre-service teacher education course has a dual purpose. It provides future teachers with the knowledge they require to teach, but it also must also serve to transform the student and enable them to become the teacher. This change of identity is not a sudden transition that happens when a student graduates, rather it needs to be embedded from the start of the course and then progressively developed throughout the learning journey.
This presentation describes how PebblePad workbooks are used in a curriculum content unit to scaffold students to write, speak and think as teachers. The workbooks contain assessment tasks with sequenced response pages containing guiding questions, hints and modelled construction. The tasks progress from simple to complex across the unit and include many opportunities for the student to practice the skills needed to develop their identity as a teacher. "
Moving from a paper-based nursing clinical placement tool to an online portfolio platform was not without its challenges. In the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Edith Cowan University a whole of school approach was adopted that incorporated not only the 3000 plus student body but academics, professional staff, and clinical placement administrators. This resulted in rewards that were seen and felt way beyond the technology used to support it. The adage 'It Takes a Village' was never truer in overcoming the challenges faced, however, ultimately determined the success of this story and ability to showcase the student learning journey.

The shift to a physically distanced yet digitally connected campuses in response to COVID-19 has rendered visible the criticality of student-led technologies to engender a sense of community and belonging among students. This paper addresses the social and pedagogical value of ePortfolios in building a sense of belonging within in Higher Education by investigating synergies between well-established ePortfolio pedagogies and the cross-disciplinary fields of digital placemaking and innovative learning environment design. It addresses the need to create critical digital pedagogical models that are agnostic to the physical constraints of campus spaces and identify the utility of space as a heuristic for improved learning outcomes and increasing learner agency and belonging among scholarly communities of peers. Finally, the paper offers insights into spatiality for learning and belonging that achieve a balance of constructively aligned digital spaces while affording opportunities for student agency, ownership and belonging to community in the digital realm.

Within minutes, individuals with basic technological skills (i.e. users of MS Office, internet browsers, and email applications) can author and share media-rich documents including hyperlinks, embedded discussions, videos, and/or audio-recordings. In the last two years, OB3 has been used to build ePortfolios for reflective practice in an MBA programme, and professional certification in a Midwifery programme. During the workshop, attendees will learn how to build an OB3 reflective practice portfolio. They will learn how to 1) capture their thoughts in writing, audio recordings, video, photos, hyperlinks, etc. to reflect on development areas; 2) keep private and personal records of their reflections as they happen; 3) email content and any attachments from their mobile devices directly to their portfolio; and 4) share selected sections of their reflections with other people as part of a course or co-creation for understanding project.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
