AGENDA The Need for Skills Validation The Project Pedagogical outcome: Validation skills framework Research outcome: Innovation E-research Technological outcome: Interactive ePortfolio Open Innovation: New Tools Conclusions - Expected results
The Need for Skills Validation European Report for the World in 2025” (2009)
Major changes in education & employment Communities of Practice (CoP) (Lave &
Wenger, 1991) Acquisition of knowledge & skills is vital for
professional communities Peripheral to core participation Apprenticeship
Skills development
Examples US Community Colleges British Learning and SKills Council
The Project Reforms in the Greek education system
Support is absent Inadequate performance Confusion
Our solutions CoP: Hellenes Educators community Technical: E-portfolio
Interactive tools for measuring performance Frameworks for LLL development
Reflection in Practice Current pedagogical approaches
Pedagogical outcome: Validation skills framework Phase I: Detect, identify, codify and present
pedagogical frameworks. Phase II: Identify associated pedagogical
frameworks in current literature. Phase III: Link emerged and theoretical
pedagogical frameworks. Phase IV: Compare, combine, classify and
evaluate frameworks-in-action (intervention). Phase V: Create the validation skills
framework(Argyris and colleagues research on Reflection in
Action)
Research outcome: Innovation E-research Diverse and multidisciplinary techniques
Qualitative Quantitative & thematic analysis Quantified qualitative analysis
Time-related eResearch (Daniel, 2007; Kirschner & Lai, 2007, Romero, 2010)
Ethnotechnology Algorithms
Quantified qualitative analysis Random frequency Specific frameworks frequency
Time series design for coordination
Technological outcome: Interactive ePortfolio ePortfolios have now extensive used as a
reflection of a person undergoing continuous personal development (Barrett, 2010)
JISC (2009): an e-portfolio is a collection of applications and services that work together to support learning and training.
Personal digital archive containing personal information, records of achievement and artefacts, transcript-type data supplied from official institutional transcripts, and information on the people and organisations to which the owner has granted access

Hybrid Synergy Hybrid Synergy is another technique
developed specifically for e-meetings. The members can use a discussion tool and tag their postings. This tagging is a non-linear structure with the following attributes:
1. information and data2.emotions and social cues3.creativity and exploration4.evaluation and assessment5.overviews and assignments

Identify sustainable solutions Presentation of learner achievements to educational
establishments or employers Utilities to facilitate the application process CoP Skills development from a LLL perspective CoP self-evaluation, autonomy and accountability Accountability (Wenger, 2010)
