ePortfolios

Imagine an electronic and interactive scrapbook, that allows you not only to recreate experiences, but that gives you a wide view of your own progress and achievements on a specific process, learning. This is possible by creating ePortfolios that are integrated to a course activities, on regular basis not only projects. There are many ways to create ePortfolios, however it is important to use tools and resources that are safe and easy to use for our students, not just for us, teachers.

A complete ePortfolio is not just an archive of products, but genuinely reflects a stage divided learning process, with input from students and teachers. This tool reflects student’s learning process and teacher’s orientation.  It must have purpose and close follow-up in order to achieve meaningful learning.

What do I wxpect from the ePortfoli course?

Through this course  I hope to get practice in handling digital resources and get to know how to design and plan course activities that are integrated in an ePortfolio that promotes students’ autonomy and independence in their learning process.
