Why eportfolios?
“The use of
multimedia tools is one strategy
that involves and
engages learners.”Barrett, 2005http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
Ian Fox 2008http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthileo/
“The power of ‘student voice’ should not be underestimated.
To hear students reflecting on their own work, in their own voice, with their own
intonations and
expressions, conveys meaning in a manner
that is simply not possible in written form.”
“...the social networking potential of the learning landscape and eportfolio-related tools are
features that facilitate and
enhance the making of
connections and the linking
together of people, ideas,
resources and
learning...”Tosh et al., 2006
“...it is the quality, not just the quantity, of
feedback that merits our closest attention.”
Sadler, 1998http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
“...supporting the general process of reflection, self-evaluation and action planning for
lifelong learning...”
MOSEP 2007
“...students can
literally carry their eportfolio around with them and
update it at
any time in
any place.”
MOSEP, 2007http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirak/
“...to define e-Portfolios as
a process, rather than just a product or a technological system.”
Attwell, 2007
UNESCO 10 Global Trends in ICT & Education:
Smart Portfolio Assessment
“...whenever they add a tweet, blog post, or photo to any online service, it will appear in their personal portfolio which can be both peer and teacher assessed.”
UNESCO 2010

Definition
“...ideas of what an e-portfolio 'is' are complex and to an extent the
definition and purpose will vary depending on the
perspective from which a particular person is approaching the concept...”
JISC ePortfolio Infokithttp://www.flickr.com/photos/darthdowney/
The ePortfolio as a Container:
...uses electronic technologies as the container, allowing students/teachers to
collect and organize portfolio
artifacts in many media types (audio, video, graphics, text)...
Barrett, 2005
The ePortfolio as a Process:
“...what is produced when persons
collect, select, reflectively interpret, and/or present their own evidence to support their assertions
about what they have learned, know and can or
should do...”
Cambridge, 2003
Final thoughts...
Should an eportfolio include all aspects of a student’s life and learning?

What happens when a student leaves school? Moves to a new class? Transfers?

Are your parents and teachers ready?
http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
Do your current internet & computer use policies cater for eportfolios and use of Web 2.0 tools?
Will your eportfolios play a role in reporting achievement against the National Standards?
Do you need a packaged solution or is a mash-up of Web 2.0 tools OK?

Is it important for eportfolios in your school to have a consistent look and feel?

Should your school expect the teachers to have a reflective eportfolio just as the students do?
