Overview
• What do we mean by an e-portfolio?
(Short answer: I’m not sure)
• Documenting learning for a 21st Century Student
![Page 8: Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional · 2016-04-14 · Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional Michael Seery](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053008/5f0bc0077e708231d432085e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Challenging our conception of e-portfolio
• My portfolio was assessment driven
• I had to make it… stuff had to go in a place… (Wordpress vs Mahara)… I was showing off my best, rather than reflecting my journey.
• Does it represent who I am (for employment, CPD, digital identity…?)

Conundrum for educators
Does the imposition of an e-portfolio structure on students as we aim to
document their journey diminish the outputs we exactly wish to capture.
Documenting the learning vs
Documenting what is learned
![Page 13: Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional · 2016-04-14 · Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional Michael Seery](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053008/5f0bc0077e708231d432085e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Different approach?
E-portfolio structure
Digital artefacts Digital artefacts

What do we mean by an e-portfolio?
Does it reflect continual change?
What is the value of the “e” part?
Structure driven vs Artefact driven

Creating Digital Artefacts: Digital Badges

Creating Digital Artefacts: Digital Badges
Assessment process generates digital artefacts
![Page 21: Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional · 2016-04-14 · Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional Michael Seery](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053008/5f0bc0077e708231d432085e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Creating Digital Artefacts: Wikis
• Final year course in analytical methods
• Lots of different techniques; students required to discuss techniques and how they complement each other
• Very poor performance in exams
![Page 22: Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional · 2016-04-14 · Documenting Learning with E-Portfolios Blurring personal and professional Michael Seery](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053008/5f0bc0077e708231d432085e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Use Wikis!
• Online document editing space (pbworks.com)
• Traceable – you can see who adds what and when
• Student put into groups of 3 and given assignment to complete over semester

• Students working well contributing regularly
• Editing each others work
• Sourcing information from literature
• Writing scientifically relevant pieces
But
• Apart from a few (notable) exceptions, exam performance reverted to similar approaches in previous years

Third Space
• Run by Institute of Academic Development (UoE)

Conclusions
• E-portfolio have a place in documenting student learning, often outwith the curriculum
• Drawn from a mix of personal and professional digital identities
• Emphasis on creation and showcasing of digital artefacts for a given purpose rather than “filling” an e-portfolio may result in them being more useful
• Opportunities exist for increasing digital artefacts throughout the curriculum
