ePortfolio
Electronic or digital portfolios can be used as evidence-based presentations of knowledge and skills, or as learner-driven tools for building knowledge and skills. This powerful tool for learning and its recognition is increasingly being used as an enabler of labour mobility in Europe, in addition to gaining ground as a reflective learning tool in the education systems there.
Learning Agents is a staunch advocate of ePortfolio and is working to increase its adoption in Canada.
Hands-On ePortfolio
Sponsored by MPLAN, we piloted this accessible exploration of the power of multimedia to enhance a portfolio in 2007. Participants were interviewed and photographed to capture their reflections. They then edited their own pictures and voice clips and uploaded them to a web site, all within the space of four hours, using freeware, shareware and Web 2.0 applications.
Based on the success of the pilot, we developed a multi-session workshop program for Red River College called "ePortfolio Lite", which won a college learning Innovation award in 2008.
