on “effective practice with e-Portfolios”

“Effective Practice with e-Portfolios - Supporting 21st century learning” is a recent (September 2008) JISC publication and is well worth a read if you are into e-portfolios. The publication starts out introducing e-portfolios and looks at why they matter, then goes on to look at them from a number of different perspectives including:

the learner’s […]

a random ramble on e-Portfolios

Working on a report for e-Portfolios at the moment and it is really interesting to hear the passion and conviction in people when they talk about what an e-Portfolio is. From the JISC e-Portfolio Overview page there is a great little text box which simply states
Fundamentally an ‘e-portfolio’ is the product created […]

ePortfolios - supporting lifelong learning

I had an opportunity to present at our ePortfolio Symposium the other day and gave a brief presentation on what form ePortfolios could take if we were to support them from a lifelong learning perspective. I think one of the challenges for many ePortfolio implementations is that they are bound to individual organisations rather […]

nice post on ePortfolio standards

From the Learning Futures Eiffel team blog here’s a nice introduction on standards to consider for ePortfolios. It gives a nice summary of the major ePortfolio specific standards to consider and importantly, mentions related specifications such as OpenSocial which I believe those interested in ePortfolios should start to at a minimum, become familiar with.

on ePortfolios and AVETRA

Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting at the AVETRA conference here in Adelaide. My talk was focussed on ePortfolio policy and interoperability. Over the last eighteen months or so I have been concerned about the lack of a systemic approach to ePortfolios as compared to other jurisdictions (in particular the EU and […]

Take care when constructing your e-portfolio solution

At the recent e-portfolio symposium it was interesting to hear the range of opinions on how e-portfolio solutions should be constructed. We had the example of the experienced Web user who preferred to mash an e-portfolio together from existing web services (blogs, wikis, file and imaging services etc) whereas less experienced users preferred institutionally […]

ePortfolio: a user perspective?

In the spirit of a certain type of eportfolio, here are some reflections on day 2 of QUT’s ‘Australian ePortfolio Symposium‘. Day 2 was the only day I was able to attend which is a bit unfortunate as my perspective can only be based on my interpretations of that day in the program. […]

careerOne + myspace = myspacejobs

An interesting service from myspace and career one, myspacejobs combines the might of the social networking space with the “country’s fastest growing employment site”. This article from adelaidenow suggests the importance of networking in building a career. Myspace makes a great eportfolio service and no doubt that is what many people around the […]

a building block for ePortfolios

In an earlier post I asked whether Google could be my ePortfolio. While I can find out quite a bit about me and other people who share my name using a Google search, its not really an ePortfolio application (then again, what is?).
As a participant in a number of social networking services, […]
