Helen Barrett, who some of you may remember as the keynote speaker at our e-Portfolio Conference last November, is currently leading the REFLECT Initiative.
REFLECT is a research project to assess the impact of electronic portfolios on student learning, motivation and engagement in secondary schools. Helen Barrett has recently published a white paper titled, “Researching Electronic Portfolios and Learner Engagement” (available on the REFLECT website). In the paper she outlines the key reasons for intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for students using e-portfolios.
Definitely a recommended read!
