THE ASSOCIATION FOR AUTHENTIC, EXPERIENTIAL AND EVIDENCE-BASED LEARNING (AAEEBL.ORG)
Engaged Learning
11/19/2013 http://www.aaeebl.org 21
About AAEEBL • Threads coming together:
• Engaged Learning – our theme this year • High-Impact Educational Practices • ePortfolio community – learning centered • Demands of the economy; expectations of employers
• ePortfolio provides means for transformation at all levels of education
• U.S.: now, over half of U. S. higher education students have used an eportfolio at least once in their college years. Higher percentage in other countries
• AAEEBL = global eportfolio establishment. • 120 Colleges and Universities; 17 Corporate Sponsors
11/19/2013 http://www.aaeebl.org 22
Developments • Formal acceptance in parts of U. S. higher education of
eportfolio as basis for assessment. “Competency-Based” • Paper resume dead; Online resume expected; add links
to online resume and you’ve got an “eportfolio.” • New business models with eportfolios:
• LMS companies seeing eportfolio as competitive advantage • Link between employers and students while in college through free
eportfolios • Global web hosting companies see eportfolios as competitive
advantage • Selling eportfolio accounts to individuals • Specialization of eportfolio products for certain fields
11/19/2013 http://www.aaeebl.org 23
Challenges • How to “train” assessors for assessment of eportfolio
evidence? • How to educate learners in creating good evidence and
curating that evidence over time? • How to move from credits, test, grades to “authentic
assessment”? -- Institutional challenge • How to maintain eportfolio over decades? – individual
challenge

AAEEBL 2013 in Boston “It Takes More than a Major”
• 2013 survey of 318 employers for AAC&U (The Association of American Colleges & Universities) – Findings:
• 93%: candidate’s demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than their undergraduate major
• >75%: 5 key learning outcomes: critical thinking, complex problem-solving, written and oral communication, and applied knowledge in real-world settings
• >80%: an electronic portfolio would be useful to them in ensuring that job applicants have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their company or organization.

Final words
Emergent themes
• Graduate outcomes ≈ employability
• Badges = micro-credentials • Learning is social • Portfolio learning is reflective and
social • Portfolio learning = personal pathway
Is LinkedIn enough?
• PRO – Awareness, workplace focus (esp. North America) – Evidence: Slideshare, Infographics, Videos, Recommendations (?) – Social network: “Friend of a Friend” – Personal Learning Network: LinkedIn Groups
• CON – Flexibility
• Customization, segmentation, alignment to requirements/outcomes • Interoperability: feeding to/from other sites
– Archiving: file storage – Private modes: reflection, formative assessment, mentoring – Learning frameworks: self-assessment, plans, rubrics, etc. – Audience: beyond white collar? – Ownership : Terms of Use, business model
With ideas from: Does LinkedIn work as an ePortfolio?
Key Message: ePortfolios can be FOR and OF Learning
FOR Learning OF Learning
Focused on process Focused on product
Supports learning Demonstrates learning
Private environment Public showcase
Goals Achievements
Learning activities Learning outcomes
Formative assessment Summative assessment
Lower stakes Higher stakes
Forward looking, expansive Retrospective, targeted
Key Message Reflective, integrative, deep learning
