Where to start?

Hi

I have just started some research into developing electronic portfolios for under graduates. This would be to develop a skills and competency profile for students as they study and develop.

Upon completion of their qualification they could use this when searching for jobs and then develop it into a Continuing Professional Development profile.

I am working in the specific skills and competency areas and the evidence requirements for each.

Has anyone any ideas about what the e-portfolio template should look like or any advice on structure and what to avoid? I am currently looking at Helen Barrett's example.

Many thanks

Hi Jan

Personalisation by Pieces (PbyP) fits the bill for what you are trying to achieve.

More information is on www.camb-ed.net

My advice is to keep everything open - give the students complete control and choice.

Look forward to more discussion.

BTW: the other person to talk to about eportfolios is Carolyn McIntosh in midwifery: she is starting to use portfolios with her undergraduates.

Hi Guys ,

I am just resurrecting this blog as it has become more topical and pertinent now

Hi Jan, I agree with Sarah, ownership is the driver for excellence in a portfolio. I love that phrase provided by Dan, 'personalisation by pieces'. Will dig deeper into his website and add to our learnspace for the MOOC.
