The AAEEBL Conference at Stonehiil College demonstrates the successful efforts of a 'few' and the depth-interest of many.
Two years ago the Faculty Learning Communities at Mercy College originated in the work of small core group and within two years has grow to include over 100 committed faculty from each of our five Schools. This Conference, the meeting everyone, the presenting & receiving, >> all became the 'good' of academia. For me, the opportunity to articipate in a Mercy Faculty Learning Community has become the essence of 'authentic collegiality'. I feel the content of my slides contributes to AAEEBL's search for 'authentic, experiential, evidenced-based learning". Reflection on the Content demonstrates how the Mercy Portfolio Cohort supports my need to balance collaboration and independence. Collaboratively, I have learned from faculty in each of our five Schools, how to construct standards-based e-Portfolios. individually, I have dared to create Digital stories as a multimedia artifact. Appreciation :) Eileen

When Melissa shares applications of e-Portfolios facilitating Assessment "Of' and 'For" learning her points are brilliantly original and engaging. She incorporates learning inside the classroom and throughout the student's life. Her concept of Higher-Order Thinking dynamically defines Reflection as an 'a-ha' moment.
After listening to Melissa and reading Pink's "Motivation" I encourage my teacher candidates to shift from Performance Standards to Learning Standards so we all find our selves enthusiastically responding, " a-ha! I never thought of that" rather than "Correct."

We were asked by Kelly Driscoll at Digication to talk about our use of eportfolios for evaluation. I am a graphic design teacher at Northwestern Connecticut Community College. Every five years each department must create a self study. The study serves several purposes but the two big ones are planning and funding. The use of the eportfolio has made this process come alive. The fluid nature of the medium allowed my colleague and me to organically grow the document as opposed to creating a linear document. It is true that one can move in and out of such documents, but the eportfolio made this process much more enjoyable and logical. The ability to break down the many required fields into pages helped us transmit the information so it made sense. The option to add images and link outside information like surveys and pdfs reinforced the information in a way a paper document could not achieve. The self study process at NCCC requires outside reviewers. The eportfolio allows us to send the link to the reviewers where they can read it over at there leisure and comment back. The ease of use and aesthetics are the icing on the cake. The fact that this document is live means that we can continue to change it at will for years to come. Outstanding!
Here is the link to the study. http://nwcc.digication.com/evaluation/Home// |

My tutors are nervous about the idea that I'm relying on my PLN for a sample....does anyone have any evidence of research carried out this way? I'm planning on using surveys and interviews but I want to solely use my online network to demonstrate the capability.

I see that some members are starting regional chapters of AAEEBL. Maybe this forum can be a clearinghouse where people can start planning a regional chapter. If so, post in this forum, but change the subject line to your region so you are easier to find.

You can join AAEEBL through an institutional membership. AAEEBL is an important center for ePortfolio information and contacts and for guidance for institutional transformation in the knowledge culture. See the membership page to find out more. I am happy to see so many members of this site and hope some of you will also want to join the Association.

After the ePortfolio roller coaster ride of the last decade, portfolios are now moving into institutionalization, becoming part of the academic landscape. Our first annual conference will celebrate this new plateau of sustainability. It will also accelerate our movement toward founding a new profession. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you.

The best evidence I have found that illustrates the value of reflection, particularly in e-Portfolio thinking can be viewed in the student portfolios from the Washington State University e-Portfolio contest in 2007 http://ctlt.wsu.edu/eportgallery
and again in 2008 http://ctlt.wsu.edu/contest07/gallery One of the reasons why we were able to get such rich evidence-based reflection is because of our rubric http://ctlt.wsu.edu/contest07/rubric In addition, since these contests, our work has evolved. See this blog post on harvesting feedback http://wsuctlt.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/test-drive-the-harvesting-gradebook/ and a recent workshop where Terry L. Rhodes and others were participants for the TLT Group http://mysite.wsu.edu/personal/jaymej/tlt I think you'll find these examples not only intriguing, but catalytic.

The references to reflection are all too common in e-Portfolio discussions. However, it seems to me that far too often writers only suggest this as some form of self-indulgent introspection. One only has to browse through Helen Barrett's list of Metaphors to realise that the e-Portfolio can have a vast number of uses.
I like the idea of using reflection in respect of considering one's Life-Story - well as far as anyone has got! I also personally believe that reflection can never really be just about introspection but about listening to other people's views, of feedback from peers and mentors and making a balanced assessment of the totality of views, I was very impressed by W.J. Popham's book, 'Transformative Assessment'. However, in terms of building upon feedback I really felt that there is a place for using given feedback in the reflexive processes. My question, therefore is: Does anyone know of a good work on reflection, particularly if related to e-Portfolio thinking?

Ray Tolley started a thread on portfolios and reflection http://www.aaeebl.org/thread/3032216/Using+e-Portfolios+for+reflection
We at WSU have been thinking about portfolios and gathering feedback from authentic communities, and how that could be facilitated. Gary Brown coined the term "Harvesting Gradebook" for this idea. For the last 18 months we've explored that idea and implemented pilot courses using it. At the invitation of the TLT Group we built a working example that will let you see all the pieces of harvesting feedback and getting it to both the learner and to instructors and academic programs. You can explore our example here http://communitylearning.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/harvesting-feedback-on-a-course-assignment/ Having just helped WSU through re-accreditation, we think this has implications for how to develop program- and institutional-review. We'd like your help answering the question in greater detail -- how might this be used to help develop institutional portfolios? You can leave comments here, or in the blog post.

It's good to see an association dedicated to the learning aspects of e-Portfolios as against the functionality. Although it might be a case of putting the cart before the horse, perhaps some might be thinking, 'Now we've got it, what do we do with it?' - and I look forward to this group spelling out and refining the broad spectrum of teaching and learning activities along with ARPEL.
We are all aware of the very wide range of e-Portfolio solutions - every one different and meeting different needs - and varying from some rather narrow commercial products to the free-ranging 'DIY' solutions that other more able students might wish to develop. My overriding priority at the moment is to try and synthesise those elements of e-Portfolio practice which are uniquely an e-Portfolio solution as opposed to those tools, such as e-assessment products, which are better suited to being embedded within an institution's VLE. In terms of separating out the different functionalities, I have always said. 'Let the VLE do what the VLE does best, and let the e-Portfolio do what it can best do. I appreciate that there will be other threads dealing with Authentication, defining Experience, and what we understand by Evidence-Based Learning. However, can I ask if this is the place to explore in some depth, even with case studies, how the e-Portfolio influences classroom-based teaching and learning. Here again, of course, is another whole platform for variability. Some schools still use a very formal approach to 'instruction' or teacher-controlled lessons - 'the sage on the stage', whereas other schools are begining to develop a far more personalised approach to learning, 'the guide by the side'. I have tried to spell out some of these differences, from the perspective of UK schools, on my blog at: www.efoliointheuk.blogspot.com oops reached word-limit.
