  3. What is a portfolio? Not the best place to start

  4. No ‘e’ ? Pedagogy is the driver. The system is the toolbox – what you need to use will vary. Multimedia. Mobile. Accessible. Complex inter-relational functionality

  5. More useful questions: What could you assess using a portfolio? How could you assess using a portfolio? What kinds of learning can portfolios support/encourage? What processes could a portfolio enhance? Why/how would your learners benefit from using a portfolio?

  6. A portfolio learning experience includes: Product – the end artefact submitted for assessment/application. Process – the learning that takes place in creating the end artefact. System – the tool used to support the creation of the end artefact. Usually paper or bespoke computerised system.

  7. Product The more familiar aspect of portfolios for learning and assessment Personal –presenting of an aspect of self, e.g. placement application, reflection, PDP. Task – meeting a set goal, e.g. evidencing professional competencies, module assessment criteria.

  8. Process The learning that takes place as the portfolio is constructed. Formal and informal Creating and collecting evidence Reflection Giving and receiving feedback Collaborating analysis Planning/goal setting Presenting

  9. Process A model of e-portfolio-based learning, adapted from Kolb (1984) from JISC e-portfolio infokit

  10. Process Assessing the journey – an opportunity to ‘fail safely’. What? Why? How?

  11. Reflective Learning A difficult skill unfamiliar to students. Needs careful scaffolding (guiding structure) to succeed. Clear communication to students of benefits and responsibility to engage and develop skills. Little and often – engagement is key. Feedback for guidance. Progression through levels.

  12. Marking Product or process? Summative or formative? Assessment of learning vs assessment for learning. Peer feedback. Complexity of private and personal reflection for deeper learning but students not wanting to ‘submit’ something so personal? How do you grade personal reflection?
