Im thinking about submitting a paper to the Learning Forum in London. This is a major eportfolio and key skills conference. Im thinking about "Portfolio assessment: The learner perspective" Deadline is the end of March.http://www.epforum.eu/
I have just started a delicious account to compile eportfolio weblinks, have a look at the live feed on the sidebar or here is the link http://delicious.com/eportfoliosorna
I have just created a feedback survey on www.surveymonkey.com for the first group that have completed the mahara eportfolio. I will post the results when they come in. One thing I am really interested in knowing is whether the learners think that electronic portfolios are superior to traditional paper portfolios?
I am very keen on Mahara at the moment. I have been using Mahara for about three weeks with a few different classes and so far so good. It is intutive, usable and visually pleasing.
"An e-portfolio is a purposeful aggregation of digital items - ideas, evidence, reflections, feedback etc, which 'presents' a selected audience with evidence of a person's learning and/or ability." Sutherland and Powell (2007)
This blog will track my experiences using eportfolios in an educational setting
