The tutorials take the form of Open Learning materials and activities that can support face to face, blended learning or on-line delivery. Although the tutorials concentrate on the learning and development processes and not on specific tools, some of the activities will require participants to have access to ePortfolio tools. Links to a set of open source ePortfolio tools that you can use will be included.

Target Groups

 * Teachers and Vocational Counselors working with 14-16 year old students.
 * Teacher Trainers, who are responsible for the training of either in-service or student-teachers.
 * The indirect target-group will be 14-16 year old secondary school students, preparing for the next phase of their education or training.

Structure of the Tutorials
The MOSEP Tutorials consists of a Foundation Module and four other Modules, each of which cover one aspect of the ePortfolio process. The Modules are sub-divided into a number of Sessions.

The modules follow a logical sequence and although it is recommended that you work through them in the intended order, it is possible to 'pick and mix' modules or sessions depending upon your experince or needs.

<!--'''Foundation module: a general introduction to the ePortfolio process, why a learner should have a eportfolio and how the ePortfolio process might be introduce into a school. It should be the first Module that you work through.
 * Introduction | Why do learners need an ePortfolio?
 * Working with young learners | How can I support young learners as they work with their ePortfolio?
 * Digital Technology in the construction of identity | What is it and what are the issues?
 * Integration of ePortfolio process with young learners | ePortfolio and curriculum – what are the barriers? are there any strategies that might help?
 * Planning and implementing an ePortfolio | How to plan and implement an ePortfolio?

 * Selection of artefacts for different purposes | Why do I need what for which reason?
 * Structure of ePortfolio | What is the best way to structure it?

Module 2: Reflection on the learning process | How can I reflect on my own learning process during the ePortfolio-Work?
 * As you have learned in the Foundation Module (or already did know), the learner's reflection on his own learning process is one of the main issues of ePortfolio-Work. In this module you will work with your course tutor to develop the skills and understanding that will enable you to support learners in order to reflect on their learning process.

 * Design and compilation of a presentational ePortfolio | What possibilities to design and compile are there?
 * Organising an interview or a presentational situation | How to plan and design?
 * Delivering a presentational ePortfolio | What do I have to consider?
 * Review, Reflection and Action Planning | What are the next steps?

Module 4: Assessment of learning outcomes and evaluation of the learning process | How can assessment be done and the learning process be evaluated?
 * Here you will learn why assessment is important, how to plan and guide assessment of ePortfolios and how feedback and evaluation can be done.
 * Assessment as a hidden curriculum | What does that mean?
 * Learning goals and operationalisations | How can I create them?
 * Feedback and peer-communication | How can I activate and motivate my learners' feedback and communication?
 * Evaluation of a learner's portfolio | How can summative assessment be done? -->

Delivery of the MOSEP tutorials
The course will be maintained by MOSEP for the life of the project, after which an interest group will be established to act as content validators.

The course will employ a variety of methods including:
 * ICT based activities
 * Presentations and video podcasts
 * Group work, discussions and peer review for face to face delivery
 * Online collaboration and networking for individual study

Open Source
The tutorials will signpost open source tools wherever possible, but will not disadvantage participants or institutions that use propriety tools.
