ABOUT MY IDEA
My idea aims to achieve the following
Learning on the go(M-Learning) + Blended learning
Reduces classroom learning time and increases individual self learning time. This pushes learners to have greater responsibility of their learning
Spreads/widen the accessibility to learning for everyone who requires to create an E-portfolio
BEFORE THE SYSTEM
Teacher teaches a subject, provide a homework for student to do and write a reflection.
Teacher marks the assignment upon receiving the essay, returns to student with a grade.
Teachers might be treating the E-portfolio as supplementary towards the actual topic(subject)
Pockets of reflections and learning experiences maybe all over the place, with no singular platform available for the learner

AFTER: NEW TRIAL SYSTEM
Teacher collaborates together and standardizes a central platform for E-portfolio creation. (e.g. wordpress or blogspot)
Teacher ask learner to create the E-portfolio within the first week of school
Learner will add teacher (if possible) as a user to mark the assignments
Teacher provides an essay for learners to work on, learner does the assignment and reports that it is ready for marking.
Learner received a grade for the assignment and adjustments are given to the learner
RESOURCES AND TOOLS
All learning resources will be from learn.barristar.net
Learning resource on learn.barristar.net will comprise of videos, images and text for learning references.
Facilitators will have to refer to this site for its instructions and references
Learner will use the classroom as an area for learning improvements and refinements.
CONTENT CURATION (LEARN.BARRISTAR.NET)
Contents on the portal are restricted to the following
Videos
3- 5 minute videos for learning of a system
Multiple videos curated for learning a same topic (learning reinforcement)
It must be scalable to the mobile device
Image
Interactive images using Thinglink (images that contains clickable links or valuable information)
Maximum graphical representations for better meaning creation
It must be scalable to the mobile device
Text
Text and paragraph spacings must be appropriate for M-learning
It must be scalable according to the mobile device
ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM
Learners can access content on the go (M-learning)
Learners are able to bring the prior knowledge from previous systems or assumptions into this learning experience and also into the classroom
Learners can access learning at a smaller bite size information, as they try to create meaning to the content.
LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM
Learners might have used other platforms and choose not to use any of the platforms given in the site
Learners might find E-portfolio irrelevant
Facilitators might have issues addressing the various platform technical issues
Learning management platform available for use to grade and mark assignments
