This document discusses higher education apprenticeships in Europe and the use of ePortfolios to support collaboration between universities and enterprises. It advocates for an approach that blends formal learning at universities with informal, on-the-job training at enterprises. ePortfolios and mentorship are presented as tools to document students' competency development throughout their learning process by continuously capturing practice experiences and receiving feedback. The ePortfolio approach is said to increase students' transversal skills like information literacy, collaboration, creativity, autonomous learning and digital literacy.

ApprEnt Refining Higher Education Apprenticeships
1. ApprEnt: Refining Higher
Education Apprenticeships with
Enterprises in Europe
Supporting Collaboration and Learning through using
the ePortfolio Approach

5. University is like teaching a
child how to swim, but never
put it in the water. The
teacher assesses the
movements, the breathing,...
At the end they finally let
them into the water and are
surprised they cannot swim.

11. An ePortfolio is a digital collection of
learning artefacts, showing....
• learning process (learning pathway)
• learning product (outcome)
...and therefore documenting
competence development.

16. Practical Implications
General learning outcomes + negotiation of
individual learning outcomes
Learning Diary:
Continuously
capturing
practice,
processes,
values,
attitudes
Presenting learning process
and outcomes
Collecting feedback
Reflecting process, outcomes, feedback
Alternating

17. Role of the Mentor
Grundschober et al (2016), S. 3 u. S. 7
• Dialog-based approach to
identify/evaluate actually
achieved learning outcomes
(both intended and non-
intended)
• Considering context and learner-
identity
19. Practical Implications
• ePortfolio platforms: Mahara, Wordpress, Blogger
• Combined with Learning Management Systems (Moodle)
• Introduction to ePortfolio approach to students and mentors
• Fixed dates for presentations and submissions & feedback
• Feedback via skype, web-conferencing tools
• Peer-feedback activities
• Field visit: Academic mentors visit workplace of their student once per
academic year
• Curriculum review: Each year a conference between academic directors
and representatives of companies to revise the curriculum, training content
& methods
• Mentor Training: Training content in blended learning format

Editor's Notes
Digitale Artefakte sammeln, in Cloud, am Computer lokal speichern
Chronologisch: Artefakt und Reflexion, also kleiner Text dazu, wie eine Art Lerntagebuch
Ich zB in Evernote! Privat gehalten
„Schaufenster“ – alles schön aufgestellt, macht Lust auf mehr, ins Geschäft hineingehen,....
Marketing
Employment
Tell your Story
Primary motivator for most ePortfolio developers
Assessment / proof
Auf Lernziele beziehen, verlinken, beschreiben wie man die Ziele erreicht hat Metakompetenz, wie hat man gelernt, am Abschluss eine Lernphase zurückschauen
Beweise für Kompetenzen sammelt und mit diesen in Beziehung setzen
Bsp: Linkedin, Xing,...ich zB auf Wordpress
Fachspezifisch: Abhängig vom Fach in dem es eingestzt wird, um was sich das ePortfolio dreht
Fächerübergreifende Kompetenzen
Zusammenarbeit: Community beim ePortfolio wichtig, auf Wordpress schwieriger als zB auf Mahara, abhängig von Setting – Twitter kann helfen oder Facebook!
Kreativität: Gestaltung Blogpost, vernetzendes Denken, etwas neues gestalten, wissen wird generiert
Info-Kompetenz: Woher bekommen man Informationen? Wie diese beurteilen?
Autonomes Lernen als Metakompetenz: Wohin hat mich mein Lernweg geführt?
