Reinventing the ePortfolio with Open BadgesSerge Ravet
How Open Badges and the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) could be the foundations for a new type of ePortfolio, the Open Passport allowing the creation of 'holographic identities' based on the establishment of bottom-up trust networks.

How could Open Badges Transform ePortfolio Practices and Technologies! Serge Ravet
Looking at the history of ePortfolio practice and technologies over the last 10 years, one is entitled in asking: what has changed? Is the ePortfolio technology we have today that different from what we had 10 years ago? While there is certainly a wider spread of ePortfolios, have ePortfolios transformed practice or been assimilated by institutions?
Open Badges are the opportunity to reinvent ePortfolio technology and practice, and create the conditions for an effective shift of the locus of power from institutions to individuals and communities. Shall we be able to seize this opportunity?

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIOS 2
What are e-Portfolios?
Electronic Portfolios (e-Portfolios) allow individuals or groups to share accomplishments,
resources or work. The benefit of e-Portfolios is that unlike traditional paper portfolios e-
portfolios can display a diverse amount of artifacts. An e-portfolio is also adaptive and can easily
be adjusted to include additional or updated information relevant to the topic of the portfolio. e-
Portfolios have been around for many years and are gaining more popularity in education and
marketing settings.
How are e-Portfolios used today?
The three main types of e-Portfolios today are learning, assessment and marketing.
Learning e-Portfolios demonstrate what has been learned over the length of a course or through
professional development. Assessment e-Portfolios are often used by people wishing to display
their knowledge as part of an exit requirement of a program or evaluation process. Marketing e-
Portfolios are used as an opportunity to showcase skills and talents as an alternative to traditional
resumes. As Dr. Matt Fowler (2014) mentions in his webinar, employers see little value in a
transcript and are more impressed by the accomplishments of an individual that can be
highlighted in an e-Portfolio (Fowler, The Impact of ePortfolios).
What are the most important elements of an e-Portfolio?
One of the most important elements of an e-Portfolio is that it is personal and unique. In
Dr. Helen Barrett’s (2010) presentation she focuses on the significance of allowing creativity to
be a part of the e-Portfolio process. Students (and people in general) are more engaged about
work when they are able to combine curiosity and passion (Barrett, TEDxASB - Helen Barrett -
2/25/10). This shows in work and it is easy to discern work that someone completed passionately

versus work that was completed just for the sake of completing work. It is important that e-
Portfolios stand out especially when used from a marketing standpoint. Another important
element of e-Portfolios is efficiency. Even if an e-Portfolio is creative and unique, it needs to
clear and efficient for users to be able to easily access the content. A final important element of
an e-Portfolio is thoughtful reflection. A reflection allows the audience to learn more about the
process that when into creating each artifact. The creator can provide a rationale which can
sometimes be more significant than the actual artifacts.
How do you plan to use e-Portfolios?
I plan on using e-Portfolios in two distinct ways. I first hope to learn more about them to
use one as a part of the exit requirements of my Info Tech MSEd program. I was able to see
some great examples of e-Portfolios when I attended a capstone night for fellow peers within the
program. This made me aware of the creative ways that unique experiences and artifacts can be
showcased through e-Portfolios. Many of the students during a Q&A suggested starting the e-
Portfolio sooner rather than later. I hope to use this class as way to lay the groundwork of my
future e-Portfolio. The second way that I would like to use e-Portfolios would be in my
classroom. Many of my summative assessments involve technology. I’d like to help students
create their own e-Portfolios so that they could display their work in a unique way. This would
also be a great way to share student work with parents, teachers, administrators and other
important stakeholders.
