MOSEP Module 1/session4

= Session 4: Structure of e-portfolio= As we have already noticed,

''The idea of the portfolio method is, that a learner is directly involved in the setting of learning goals. This should ensure a greater interest, engagement and motivation to achieve at the goals.'' For that, the learners should be also informed about the goals of the eportfolio work itself and its assessment principles.

Thus, let us notice that e-portfolio structure should być subordinate to the e-portfolio goals. Technical structure is derived from the logical structure of dependencies between the elements of e-portfolio.

Process of e-portfolio creation starts with the stage of planning which consists of following phases:
 * 1) defining the purpose of e-portfolio;,
 * 2) defining tools and skills one has which are necessary for e-portfolio creation;
 * 3) defining the e-portfolio reviewer's profile.

Only now in this context can one move to the last phase of e-portfolio planning:

Remark 1: At this stage we should take into account the possibly necessary compromise between the ideal structure of e-portfolio and what tools and skills we have allow for. ''Remark 2: depending on one's own needs and abilities an existing template can be chosen at this stage. ''
 * 1) planning the e-portfolio structure (what should my e-portfolio contain in order to achieve the desired goals?)

After the structure of the e-portfolio has been planned you can start practical work on it. :


 * 1) choose the artifacts you want to use from among the ones you have prepared earlier;
 * 2) create new artefacts if you fine them necessary;
 * 3) combine artefacts into the meaningful and cohesive whole.
