WHAT ARE E-PORTFOLIOS?
LinkedIn – professional showcase 
Word Press – learning blogs 
The evolution of the digital footprint 
Twitter – shared links 
My Portfolios 
Facebook – family and friends
Two Faces of e-Portfolios 
Understanding the badges movement 
What can they do? 
An e-Portfolio is not a specific software 
package, but more a combination of 
process (a series of activities) and 
product (the end result of the e- 
Portfolio process). 
Barrett, H. (2010) 
The Collection 
Portfolio as process 
The Narrative 
Portfolio as product 
Organisation Chronological Thematic 
Primary purpose Learning or

Reflection Immediate (present

Prospective (future

Achieving Balance 
Balancing the two faces of e-portfolios
Personalised Learning Framework 
An approach to assessing the impact of e-learning 
Personalisation and Digital 
Technologies 
The logic of education systems should 
be reversed so that it is the system that 
conforms to the learner, rather than the 
learner to the system. This is the 
essence of personalisation.

Assessment 
Organisational e-Portfolios 
Do I need an e-portfolio? 
• Do I need to assess collections of diverse media content? 
• Do I need to assess processes as well as products? 
Identity 
• Do my users need a ‘safe’ space to explore identities? 
• Do my users need to develop a sense of affiliation or belonging? 
Social 
Networking 
• Do I need a ‘walled garden’ for teams to collaborate socially? 
• Do I need users or groups to showcase work digitally? 
Organisational 
personas 
• Do I need to maintain an internal or public directory of staff portfolios? 
• Do my users need to share their work with users outside of my 
organisation?
Portfolio Interoperability 
What do users get out of it when they leave? 
Mediated Action 
Vygotsky views the essence of cognitive 
education as providing students with 
new psychological tools (metacognitive 
skills).

User
Portfolio Interoperability 
What do users get out of it when they leave? 
Reusable Content 
There is more value to developing an e-portfolio 
if users know that they can 
take their data with them when they 
leave, or use it in other systems at the 
same time. 
Web Access

Editor's Notes

  • #14 the development of higher-order thinking is dependent on appropriate interactions, which can be identified through the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD); the ZPD is never located solely within the learner, shifting the focus of instruction from transmission of competence or knowledge to understanding the meaning of assistance in relation to an individual’s learning and development
