The “thin portfolio” concept (borrowing from the prior “personal information aggregation and distribution service” concept) represents the idea that you don’t need that portfolio information in one server; but that it is very helpful to have one place where one can access all “your” information, and set permissions for others to view it. This concept is only beginning to be implemented.
The University of Leicester’s Student Support and Development Service are currently running at graduate internship scheme called TULIP. We are encouraging the students to record their experiences by creating an ePortfolio on wordpress. Here is the beginners guide for the the students.
A critical review of the use of the concept of reflection in Higher Education. David Andrew, Miriam Green, Gary Pheiffer, Debbie Holley. BEST conference, April 2002. Reflection as a concept should be abandoned in management educational practice because of: Lack of consistent definition Lack of operational value - we can't tell students how to do it Some minor, but potential dangers if we could tell students how to do it Lack of necessity - we do not see how such an ill-defined concept is necessary for helping students to learn.
Investigating how eportfolios can support assessment for learning in the primary classroom. Based on research conducted by Nick Rate, a New Zealand Ministry of Education eFellow, in 2008.
This site aims to provide a community resource for those interested in ePortfolios and Personal Development Planning (PDP). This site was first set up to document an FDTL4 project in which we built a configurable ePortfolio.
Journal of the Research Center for Educational Technology 4 (2008) This paper briefly summarizes the implementation of a university-wide electronic portfolio requirement. We begin with a systemic view of the ePortfolio Program and narrow our focus to a view of ePortfolio integration into two different classes. The rationale behind the Clemson University ePortfolio Program is to build a mechanism through which core competencies are demonstrated and evaluated. The target classes are a general education English class focusing on 20th and 21st century literature and a professional development seminar in computer science. Both classes allow students to select their topics and present their work to the class using a variety of media types, and both include a form of peer evaluation. These classes confirm that when students’ choice is built into the assignments we are pleasantly surprised by the outcomes.
