Some
places still available to East or West Mid’s LSC funded (HEI’s
FE, ACL, WBL) learning providers.
Yep, that’s
right Ben Williams & I have organised the next instalment
of our series of informative, engaging, and bang up to date eportfolio
events. The next is at The University of Derby on 11th November -
all day event.
Briefly:
1) we have Derrin Kent from TDM Ltd (a UK official Mahara Partner)
talking about Open Source developments and the Open ethos + perceived
needs and barriers to effective eportfolio uptake.
2) Kirstie Coolin
will talk about the massively successful LLN East
Mid’s LEAP AHEAD project. Kirstie & her team have given out 900
eportfolio licences to pilot & try two tools over the past year or
two.
3) Alison
Price will talk about her use of Webquest and eportfolio
tools with trainee teachers from Telford’s TCAT College. She will be
joined by Theresa Loughlin to talk about their latest eportfolio
developments at Telford. Who incidentally never deployed a commercial VLE.
So
their College wide eportfolio adoption is quite unique.
4) Pritpal
Sembi from The University of Wolverhampton will avail us of
a tale of moving from an initially negative view of eportfolios to a
very positive uptake of the blogging tool he deployed with his
placement students. Unintended and positive outcomes abound in
Pritpal’s journey of discovery.
Ben & I
will facilitate the day to ensure the activities promote
active discussion style workshop and reflection of what you want
from an eportfolio
system.
