In this module we've learnt what's a portfolio and how to use it in the classroom.
1-Digital portfolios
With the outbreak of the digital revolution, portfolios became
eportfolios, e-portfolios or digital portfolios. Now all the digital
artefacts for learning are collected online and new tools help learners
leverage all the potential of technology to learn and keep track of
their learning in the cloud.
2-How do you create a digital portfolio?
Collect. Keep track
of all the learning artifacts you create: Texts, audio recordings,
videos, projects, posters, images, presentations…
Share. Learning is
sharing too. To
share online, you can use a blog, a webpage like google site, an
infographic, a digital magazine, videos etc.
3-Types of portfolio
Although each portfolio is unique according to the purpose of creation, we can generally talk about two types of portfolios.
Portfolio As Workspace.
This refers to a work in progress, an on-going collection that is
regularly updated with new learning items over a period of time. This
portfolio aims to assess the PROCESS OF LEARNING. The audience is often private, often teacher and peers and assessment is basically geared at learning further. A document of reflection on the different learning productions help students know on what to focus next.
Portfolio As Showcase.
This refers to celebrating the achievement of learning. After a
selection of the best items to show a given competence that needs to be
assessed, it focusses on the PRODUCT OF LEARNING. The audience is often public, on social networks like linked in, your employers, a panel of evaluation etc. A document of a brief presentation of the portfolio selections gives the audience a rationale of the collection.
