Seminar description

ePortfolios have multiple purposes for teaching staff and students alike (eg. showcasing, learning, assessment, promotion). This seminar will consider the development opportunities that ePortfolios (as both a technology and an approach) can offer for: 1) teaching staff; and 2) learning opportunities with students. We will locate ourselves and interests in relation to a spectrum of broad uses of ePortfolios, followed by more targeted considerations: What do I need to think about when choosing a tool to create an ePortfolio for myself or to use with students? What are some of the things to think about before starting?
