EDT4OL/Portfolio/Overview



The  course requires a high level of technology support from the facilitator. For this reason, each cohort offering will be restricted to a maximum of thirty (30) participants.

We want to ensure that students who gain entry into the course have the digital skills they'll need to succeed, and this will be determined through submission of an online acceptance portfolio. You will be able to acquire these skills by working through the independent study materials in this learning pathway.

Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis determined by the date and time of the submission of your final application portfolio. In the event that the course is over-subscribed - that is, exceeding 30 participants - successful portfolio candidates will be added to a waiting list for preferential access when the next cohort of the course is offered.

Given the time commitment required to master these skills, students are required to sign a learning contract specifying the actions that learners promise to undertake to achieve success and the support that the facilitator will provide to help you succeed.

The OER Foundation will provide free access to the online software services needed for the duration of the course including:


 * 1) A personal blog site using WordPress (A backup file of your blog portfolio will be provided in the event that you wish to create your own blog site in the future.)
 * 2) Free access to WikiEducator, used for collaborative authoring of online content
 * 3) A course website using WordPress to publish online course materials and to author H5P interactive objects.

A four-step submission process
Your acceptance portfolio will be submitted and marked through a learning management system called 'Moodle'.

Before you start, please enrol on the [ Moodle Acceptance portfolio page], so that you can upload your evidence. (You will need to register an account on the OERu Moodle site if you don't already have one.)
