BCCampus E-Portfolio Pilot Project for ABE.

Posted on behalf of Cindy Underhill

Just a brief update on the progress of this working group. Essentially we were brought together to look at the potential for e-portfolio use in Adult Basic Education programs. To date: we have decided on three platforms to pilot: SEGUE, OSPI and ELGG.

We have formed three test groups around these platforms. Our next steps are
to:

* create our own portfolios using the three systems.
* defeine a use case for the ABE programs
* examine the pedagogical issues

A rubric for assessment is in development and we will use this to guide our explorations. The goal is to test in April, evaluate in May and prepare to incorporate into some classes for September.

FYI:
BCCampus has worked with David Tosh and co. to develop some short, contextual “help” demos – dealing with a few aspects of portfolio development in ELGG.
