This is the point of the cartoon. The word eportfolio can mean different things to different people.<br />In theory, maybe these tools should be part of a vle, and there are tools such as mahara which can do this to an extent, however they require alot of work to make them suitable for specific courses and are not as good as seperate systems. <br />I agree that a single system would enhance student ownership but in many cases this is not a the best way of doing things becase they are actually different tools with different purposes but all called eportfoliozdfbdfbbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407062045639707334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021853144754619326.post-43833920137744004972009-09-22T10:25:12.036+01:002009-09-22T10:25:12.036+01:00Hi, Kev,
Thanks for your kind response. However,...Hi, Kev,<br /><br />Thanks for your kind response. However, I am arguing for a 'Lifetime tool' owned by the learner. I think that what you are arguing for is a 'course assessment tool' which can comfortably sit within your VLE.<br /><br />I am proposing a different culture to the conventional institutional approach. If you look at Dr Helen Barrett's collection of metaphors they are all about the learner and not about course delivery.<br /><br />Yes, the e-Portfolio CAN be used for course assessments, grades etc but the ownership is specifically that of the learner, however many different courses he/she may be studying, both in college and also externally. The aggregation of both formal studies, informal courses and a whole range of experiences and prior learning can all be recorded in the one place and used for various audiences.Ray Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654892229937491921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021853144754619326.post-20618725141350703352009-09-22T09:34:57.889+01:002009-09-22T09:34:57.889+01:00Ray,

In Further Education at least, which is my area of expertise, a one size fits all approach doesn't work.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Kevzdfbdfbbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407062045639707334noreply@blogger.com
