5 5 1 Introduction ePortfolio History at the IOE 2003-2005: Level 10, custom project/group management tool 2006-2007: PebblePad pilot for Secondary PGCE since 2006: individual, small-scale efforts and explorations 2008-2009: TQEF ePortfolio project Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

6 6 1 Introduction Motivation Multiple academic staff members had sought advice on ePortfolios Variety of intended use cases Availability of tools at no further costs Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

7 7 1 Introduction Overview of our work Discussion with participants (staff and students) Review of previous ePortfolio trials, paper portfolios, electronic exchanges Developing contextualised models of ePortfolio use Implementation in five scenarios Evaluation of tools in three cases (with student input) Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

8 2 Approach Three Elements A.Feature comparison of e-portfolio tools- Technology B.Needs analysis- Pedagogy C.Needs-based e-portfolio tool evaluation- Practice 8

9 9 3 Features of e-Portfolio Tools Available Tools: a)Blackboard Basic Portfolio- without Bb Content System b)Blackboard Personal Portfolio- without Bb Content System c)Learning Objects Expo LX- Blackboard Building Block d)Mahara- for evaluation purposes only Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

13 13 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 1: The Doctoral School Portfolios co-owned by student and supervisor Limited access for registry staff for tracking purposes Record of supervisory meetings, progress reviews, assignments, attendance Evidence of doctoral level competencies Building a professional academic identity Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

14 14 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 1: The Doctoral School Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments Student Supervisor Registry

15 15 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 2: MA in ICT in Education Student-owned and generated portfolio Repository for student-created teaching resources Record reflections on personal/professional development (multi-media) Identity space (profiles) Bibliographic management system Peer comments/reviews Monitoring of tutor-generated portfolio tasks Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

16 16 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 2: MA in ICT in Education Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments Student Tutor Peers

17 17 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 3: Secondary PGCE in ICT Community of practice involving five stakeholder groups Collaborative production Monitoring of course requirements (tracking of deadlines) Checklist for QTS standards Mentoring log, lesson observations, assessment record file Career entry and professional development profile Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

19 19 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 4: Post-Compulsory PGCE (ESOL/Literacy) Student-owned portfolio Tutors and mentors to contribute to selected portfolios Record of teaching practice Tracking progress over distances Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

20 20 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 4: Post-Compulsory PGCE (ESOL/Literacy) Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments Trainee Teacher IOE Tutor School Mentor

21 21 4 Purpose of Use Scenario 5: Master of Teaching Collaborative community beyond the course context Portfolio as a starting point for post-graduation engagement Communication and sharing tool Politically skewed towards open source tools Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

23 23 4 Purpose of Use Analysis: Multiple Themes 1.Model: What is an ePortfolio? 2.Ownership: Who controls what? 3.Access: How does collaboration work? 4.Use and purpose: Implications for learning, development and assessment 5.Issues: Training, support, portability Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments

24 24 Questions asked ThemeQuestions Model What is an ePortfolio? How can it be used to support learning, development, assessment? How can/should it be organised/structured/managed? Who would/should monitor development and progress? What are the benefits to the student, tutor, supervisor, mentor and/or Institution? Ownership Who is it for? Who has overall control/ownership of it? How, what, and with whom can it be shared? Accessibility How can it be accessed? Who can/should/needs to have access to it and at what level? Tool Can it be integrated or linked to other systems, e.g. Registry? What are the practical issues and implications of implementation? What costs are involved? Which system should be used and what are the alternatives? SupportWhat training is needed and how could this be delivered? Future-Proofing PDP and e-Portfolio Developments
