ePortfolios: A definition...
What is your current definition of an eportfolio?
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
“...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...”

ePortfolios: Benefits...
What can ePortfolios offer the learner?
“The use of
multimedia tools is one strategy
that involves and
engages learners.”Barrett, 2005http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
“...opens wide the possibilities for
reflections... in action, before action, after action, in solitude, in consultation with peers, in consultation with instructors...
written, spoken,
videotaped, or
graphically represented...”
Riedinger., 2006http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
...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.”

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?

ePortfolio Management...
In order to be effective and support the process of student learning, eportfolios:
•need to be embedded into your teaching and learning.
•require a high level of access to technology.
•you need to set time aside for students to first learn
how and then to actively reflect and give feedback
on learning.
Start small, and work your way up. Get students actively blogging in a class blog and move on to individual spaces
ePortfolio Management...
ePortfolios do not add to your workload. Instead you will need to change some of the ways you:
• give feedback• facilitate reflection• engage students in self and peer assessments
and
• you need to adapt learning and teaching so that
the process and outcomes can be shared
digitally within the eportfolio platform.
