How can we create them for learners\u2019 and make the most of them for their own CPD<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Wednesday 26\/10\/2011 #ELTChat was moderated by Shaun wilden (@shaunwilden) , Bernadette Wall (@rliberni) and Marisa Constatinides (@Marisa_C) . And the topic was E-Portfolios. Many of the participants \u2013 including myself – were very excited to learn more about this topic.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0electronic portfolio<\/strong>\/e-portfolio<\/strong>: a collection of electronic evidence assembled, usually on the web.<\/p>\n

E-portfolos are ways of storing a students’ work etc throughout their education and on into the workplace . <\/strong><\/p>\n

An e-portfolio can be a page, a glogster,<\/strong> or even a whole website. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea of an e-portfolio is that it should include representative samples (best really) of a student’s output, s<\/strong>uch as text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog\u00a0\u00a0entries, and hyperlinks\u00a0. <\/strong><\/p>\n

E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user’s abilities and platforms for self-expression.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An e-portfolio can be seen as a type of learning record that provides actual evidence of achievement. The advantage is that students build these as they go along and take them forward from stage to stage – it’s a personal document. A key thing is that the students become accountable and also more responsible for their own evaluation of their growth .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the benefits to the student, an e-portfolio is also a great help for teachers\/institutions who like to keep track on the progress of their students and can provide an efficient means to reinforce shared visions and commitments to its mission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
