An e-Portfolio is

• An information management system that uses electronic media. (WORD/ web authoring platform/PPT)

• Learner builds/maintains a digital repository of artifacts – to demonstrate competence and reflect on their learning.

• Having access to their records, digital repository, feedback and reflection students can achieve a greater understanding of their individual growth, career planning and CV building.

What do e-Portfolios represent?

“e-Portfolios focus on growth and development over time and can be seen as a concrete representation of critical thinking and reflection of skills and achievements;

implemented through the selection of evidence for goal setting and self evaluation..”

(Barrett, 1999, 2000)

Students Authoring in the Media of their Times :

21st Century Literacy Skills

That was then This is now

e-Portfolios a digitized self portrait of

students as learners.

1. What does the pile of file folders suggest to you about assessment? About the students? 2. What role does the student play?3. Who were the folders shared with?

Who can we share the e-Portfolio with? What are we assessing? What is the purpose?

• 4. What does the diagram to the right suggest to you about a learner centered approach?  

• 5. How can these be shared?  What is now being shared with-in a digitized format?

It’s a different World!

Technology enables students to collect and organize more effectively.

• Through the use of technology, students can use tools to record their progress over time.

• "A culture of evidence asks students to think more deeply about learning to show what they have learned rather than simply choose an answer from a list of multiple choice options.” (Barrett)

The e-Portfolio is a tool to help students:

1. Think about and plan their future;2. Evaluate their progress in conjunction with

teachers, parents and counselors;3. Identify learning experiences that will help reach

their goals;4. Demonstrate what they know and can do;5. Learn to use, a progressive tool which will be

carried forward from year-to-year to recognize vital pieces of their personal, academic, and career development process; and

6. Record ongoing work and accomplishments on into adulthood.

The e-Portfolio is a tool to help teachers:

1. Encourage and support best teaching practices and learning opportunities;

2. Provide a convenient way to collect and sort information that helps students think about where they want to go;

3. Demonstrate, that outcomes stated in Alberta Learning’s Program of Studies and ICT outcomes and are being met;

4. Increase student motivation and engagement by connecting learning, to students' personal interests and accomplishments; and

5. Connect learning to the essential elements of Career Development for students.
