Using an ePortfolio for reflective learning
E-Portfolios
We are all familiar with the concept of a portfolio of work that demonstrates 'what we are capable of'. In an educational context, though, portfolios are also used to inform learning - by reflecting on the learning process itself. E-Portfolios update the concept of a traditional portfolio to the digital age by enabling a portfolio keeper to collect and display a series of digital artefacts as well as comment and reflect on the learning associated with their production.
| We want to learn how to use ePortfolios by developing our own portfolio view. We will use the portoflio to reflect on where we are at currently in our use of eLearning to personalise learning for our students and as a starting point for the planning of our project |
