ePortfolio 2009 has run its course and participants from all over the world will start heading home hopefully filled with ideas and enthusiasm for moving the eportfolio agenda forward. During the conference Dr. Helen Barrett mentioned that reflection was at the heart and soul of eportfolios and this was a recurring theme throughout the […]
Quite some time ago (way back in June 2007) I posed this question in a post and while the intent was never really to answer the question with a yes, but to highlight some of the features that are important to eportfolios and their owners, it’s interesting to see that in some sort of manner, […]

I have just attended the Australian ePortfolio Symposium 2009 and would like to acknowledge all the hard work and effort put in by the team at QUT who made this such a worthwhile event. On the Sunday I was privileged to be able to participate in a panel session on ‘Technical issues and opportunities […]

Great post from Serge Ravet on the EIfEL team blog. After recently commenting on the confusion I feel in this area it’s nice to see an expert in the field posting on the subject. Some really interesting ideas are expressed in the post. As mentioned in previous posts I am exploring the […]

If I was to do a word association test on eportfolios the first word that I would think of is confusion. Almost every substantive article I have read on eportfolios starts out with the author(s) defining what they mean by eportfolios. I have had to do this myself and can relate to […]

Found this interesting discussion on ePortfolios courtesy of a Stephen Downes post. It’s a transcript of a panel discussion from a conference held by LaGuardia Community College in April last year but has just appeared on the Academic Commons site. Over quite a period of time now we have been researching the application of […]

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while now. The Australian ePortfolio Project (AeP) is an ALTC funded project to “investigate ePortfolio practice in the higher education sector in Australia, in order to provide strategic and practical guidance about the use of ePortfolios in academic institutions.” From its website, the project […]

Or perhaps that should be ‘I think, therefore I (can) blog’. Not perhaps an accurate use of Descartes’ method, but it would be interesting to see what great philosophers of earlier times would have made of ‘digital identities’ or the ‘digital self’.
Stephen Downes posts a really interesting article ‘My digital identity’ and relates aspects […]

“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 […]

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 […]
