Sounds like great work! You can have the students upgrade the e-portfolio to a professional one just on "Educational Design" but for the job market, linking it to their career goals. In that way, they would have artifacts from the entire program.

Best regards,

Debra

The research area is relevant. As suggested by Dr Debra, this may be connected with potenrial employability of the students. This will create lot of interest and enthusiasm amongst students .

We Can Use e-portfolio in professional Development teacher

Professional Development for High-Impact E portfolio Practice

Professional development is particularly critical for successful eportfolio practice. Eportfolio technology is simple to learn, but integrative eportfolio pedagogy takes time and support to master. Since eportfolio practice is most effective when students use it to connect learning across courses, disciplines, and semesters, eportfolio projects must move beyond “early adopters,” engaging a broader group of faculty and staff to construct shared purpose and coordinated design

E.portfolios can be an excellent source for assessing multiple intelligence as well among students; because through e-portfolios multiple intelligence can be incorporated among students.

" Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence:

1. Verbal-linguistic intelligence (well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words)

2. Logical-mathematical intelligence (ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical and numerical patterns)

3. Spatial-visual intelligence (capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly)

4. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (ability to control one’s body movements and to handle objects skillfully)

5. Musical intelligences (ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber)

6. Interpersonal intelligence (capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and desires of others)

7. Intrapersonal (capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes)

8. Naturalist intelligence (ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other objects in nature)

9. Existential intelligence (sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence such as, What is the meaning of life? Why do we die? How did we get here?

A comparison study on the basis of potential appraisal and analysis of e-portfolio will be very effective.

ANDROID APPS FOR CREATING PORTFOLIOS

Today we are updating the popular ‘iPad digital portfolio apps’ post and published last year by adding the android description of some of the apps featured there. Using these apps students and teachers will be able to easily create and access their digital portfolios online. They can also use document for learning and to display their progress via compiling and storing diverse learning artifacts and creating independent learning. Some of these tools allow parents and teachers to keep track of what their students are learning and how they are progressing (https://www.educatorstechnology.com).

Weebly:Weebly allows to easily create a webpage where we can share our learning artifacts and documents. It provides “a beautiful canvas for tactile website building. Weebly turns the android tablet into a true creative tool that lets follow our inspiration from start to publish (https://www.educatorstechnology.com)

Three Ring:The easiest way to capture qualitative evidence of student learning (https://www.educatorstechnology.com). Three Ring allows teachers and students to document anything, organize it in seconds, and have it seamlessly available at school and at home, both in the app and on the website: www.threering.com.

Easy Portfolio: It is capture and split our work in different forms, including: photo, videos, audio recordings, notes and text entries, web links to online content and digital documents directly from Dropbox or email (https://edshelf.com/tool/easy-portfolio/).

OpenSchool ePortfolio: Use OpenSchool ePortfolio to create and manage digital portfolios for our entire class. It is to create and allocate student projects, take pictures, video and audio recordings of student work and upload them right to a student’s ePortfolio. Use their built-in slogan maker to view Common Core State Standards, as well as other standards, that are pre-leveled, to make easy authentic assessment (https://www.educatorstechnology.com).

A propose you test https://www.myshowcase.me/ as e-portfolio. Willingly and with combination using https://www.justframeworks.com/#!/ .

You can also combine this web tools with https://www.openbadges.me/ ...

I remain.

We work with teachers in South Africa who have extremely limited tech skills. They created ePortfolios using Google Sites and were blown away by the possibilities it offered!

Thank you Mats and Isabel! As a matter of fact I also use Google Sites in combination with Google Drive (Google Classroom) at the VUB. I'll have a look at the other tools asap...

Dear Jo

I use Moodle with master students. It was made clear that e-portfolio was a requirement for passing the course. The students are assessed with reference to (1) their online engagement (how often they have logged, what they did after logging, taking initiatives such as creating forums of discussion, adding entries to Glossary application ...) and this information is aviailable in the logs (tracking system) that shows all the activities by a student; (2) a learning journal which is updated after every lecture to demonstrate the student's learning and self-study which can be produced using individual blogs on Moodle; (3) the participation in forums of discussions and the quality of the participation which are visible on Forums; and (4) some work they submit through the application of Assignment on Moodle.

Looking into the above enables me to evaluate the process of learning. Also, I can intervene to help, guide or suggest in due course. As this happens online, the feedback is more customised (individual).

I have the same students next year and I will add two more applications to the above apps: Workshop and Wiki which will boost collaborative learning. Despite many students can contribute to the same Wiki, Moodle provides each student's share for evaluation.

However, I have not considered this way of teaching or evaluating for research purposes. Intuitively, I am convinced that students benefit a lot from it as they are exposed to an online input, in addition to face-to-face lecturing, in which they must demonstrate their engagement and understanding through self-learning!

Dear All

I have found out that there is a possibility of integrating Pebblepad to Moodle but there are still some limitations. With new versions of both platforms, things are improving substantially.

Daer All

Is there anyone who has used Mahara for e-portfolio? I have it installed in a Moodle platform but I have never used it nor have I asked my students to use it! I understand that it helps create an e-portfolio and it is open source!

Thx for your message(s)! Next year I’ll use Mahara in combination with Cancas. I’ll keep you posted!

Hi Jo and All

I have just surfed the Canvas website but have not been conviced about its "revolutionary" promise. For those who have used it (and preferably have used other platforms), could you please share your opinions? I have also gone through some sites that compare Canvas to other existing platforms (such as Blackboard and Moodle) but they report other people's reviews only!

i hope you read my study in this field
