BCCampus Webcast

David Tosh & Ben Werdmuller, both from the University of Edinburgh, will be conducting a webcast via BCCampus this Thursday (Oct. 21st) morning at 8:30am.

In order to view the webcast, you must be a member of the BCCampus EDTech Community. It’s easy to join, just visit, “http://community.bccampus.ca/bccampus”:http://community.bccampus.ca/bccampus, and join the community.

For those early risers, I’ve included a brief description of the webcast. It should be very interesting. David & Ben have been very active in the e-Portfolio community (both in Europe and here via EPAC and work with both UWaterloo and UBC) and have been working on what they call a “learning landscape”:http://elgg.net/. Tune in, it’ll be very interesting!

Here’s the description:

In recent years, adoption of e-portfolio tools has occurred in individual courses, departments, schools, and across institutions. We feel it is important to encourage students to recognize the value of e-portfolio software beyond simple course applications and outside the context of their undergraduate education. To facilitate this approach, we will describe a conceptual framework for addressing these issues relating to the implementation, adoption and sustainability of e-portfolio technology.

And, here is an archived version of the presentation:
