Towards a Learning Society  What characterises the knowledge economy is the organic link between the different contexts of learning  Individual learning  Community learning  Organisational learning  Territorial learning (learning cities and regions)  Industrial Society focused on training (assimilation)  Knowledge Economy focused on learning (accommodation)  Up to 1970sLearning to work  70 – 80 Learning at work  80 – 90 Learning through work  21 st century Learning is work ePortfolio

Maastricht Declaration […] the development of an open and flexible European qualifications framework, founded on transparency and mutual trust. The framework will provide a common reference to facilitate the recognition and transferability of qualifications covering both VET [vocational Education and Training] and general (secondary and higher) education, based mainly on competences and learning outcomes. It will improve permeability within education and training systems, provide a reference for the validation of informally acquired competences and support the smooth and effective functioning of the European, national and sectoral labour markets. The framework should be underpinned by a set of common reference levels. It should be supported by instruments agreed at European level, particularly quality assurance mechanisms to create the necessary mutual trust […]

What is an ePortfolio?  “a collection of authentic and diverse evidence, drawn from a larger archive representing what a person or organization has learned over time on which the person or organization has reflected, and designed for presentation to one or more audiences for a particular rhetorical purpose” (NLII, 2003).  ePortfolios are a combination of  Archive – heterogeneous, distributed – learning outcomes, reflections, testimonies, etc.  Views – multiple, according to the function, e.g. assessment, job finding  Services – supporting processes, e.g. cross-referencing, profile matching  To value the assets of individuals, communities and organisations  ePortfolios are a personal and social objects  I decide what is public, restricted, shared, opened to feedback and private  I take it wherever I want, whenever I want and the way I want  It can be seen as the digital identity of the 21st century

Portfolios histories  A tool in paper format already used by millions (e.g. UK, Italy, Australia, China, US, Finland…)  To support learning and professional development  To accredit experience and competencies  An approach to learning where reflection is valued  An approach to assessment based on  A global, holistic, view of the individual  An integrated view of the learning and assessment process, outcome-based – in the professional or social context  An assessment of knowledge ‘inferred’ from naturally occurring evidence, rather than from the results of exams or tests

ePortfolio Pratices  Learning  Individual  Plan/manage learning  Reflect  Manage knowledge and competencies  Collaborative  Peer feedback  Sharing knowledge across a community  Assessment  Assessment for learning  Authentic, holistic, assessment  Peer review  Self-assessment (reflexive)  Recognition  Storytelling  Histoire de vie  Peer recognition within a community  Validation  Non-formal and informal learning  Prior experience  Prior learning  Certification  Competencies  Professional re-accreditation  …

Wales, a learning country  Flexible accreditation framework  ePortfolio for 3 million citizens  Supported by Careers Wales  49,000 users 6 months after launch “The e-portfolio will grow with the individual, allowing them to develop a habit of recording and understanding their learning achievements and progress which will be stored in a central digital location.”

England eLearning strategy  PRIORITY 1 - Provide an integrated online information service for all citizens  PRIORITY 2 - Ensure integrated online personal support for learners.  […] Our second priority extends this personalised support to learners, helping with all stages of education, and with progression to the next stage. We will encourage every institution to offer a personal online learning space to store coursework, course resources, results, and achievements. We will work towards developing a personal identifier for each learner, so that organisations can support an individual’s progression more effectively. Together, these facilities will become an electronic portfolio, making it simpler for learners to build their record of achievement throughout their lifelong learning.  PRIORITY 3 - A collaborative approach to personalised learning activities
