My viewpoint
• Starting outside the institution• Adult learning principles• Access to education
– Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition
• Employability• Sustainability

Benefits of “e”Virtual Binder for 21C
• Information Management capabilities– Collecting, archiving, sharing, making different versions– Multimedia evidence
• Digital technology, Internet literacy• Learning and collaboration integration
– Online research: documents, networks– Easy to add comments, edit, mentor, coach
• Digital Identity– Professional Profile, Personal network
• Measurement, alignment– Link to frameworks, rubrics, track learning over time

NaysayersWhat one contentious Scotsman says
E-portfolios – 7 reasons why I don’t want my life in a shoebox:
1. Uninteroperable2. Institutionalised3. Human nature4. People are not learners5. Boundary problems6. Plus ca change7. Recruitment myth
DONALD CLARK PLAN B

Lessons learned
• Faculty were not included in initial focus groups and did not want to learn another technology tool; Blackboard was enough
• Should have identified some faculty promoters
• Underestimated the time to implement and technology problems, don’t choose vendor with most bells and whistles, simple is better
• Students did not see the value of the eportfolio
• Should have had students pay for eportfolio

Questions that need asking
• Do you have an ePortfolio?• Is an ePortfolio just another way of getting a
grade?• Is ePortfolio just another way of “reporting up”?• If ePortfolios are used for learning assessment,
are you prepared to assess for prior learning?• If it is a tool for transition:
– What happens when a student brings an ePortfolio to your institution, say from high school?
– Will your students want to keep their ePortfolios after they graduate?
– If they do, can they? Is this a favour from you, or a deliberate strategy?

Key Question
• Why do 52% of undergraduates have an ePortfolio?

Success FactorsOrganizational perspective
• Burning platform?– Program outcomes > institutional accreditation
• Principles of change management– Accelerating vs. accepting the maxim: “change
happens one retirement at a time”
• Faculty portfolios (“eportfolio is good for you”)– Graduate portfolios– Hiring Portfolios– Continuing Professional Development
• Department portfolio to support accreditation– But don’t let this need “drive the bus”
![Page 32: Lifelong ePortfolios: Emerging Vision or Cruel Joke?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c788e94a795993778b4590/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Success FactorsStudent perspective
• Watch the frame of reference– Emphasize “internal” (personal values & interests) over “external”
(expectations of employers & recruiters)
• Focus on learning, not just assessment– PLE, lifelong companion, personal narrative– Private, shared and public space
• Start early and monitor progress• Emphasize content over technology• Opportunities for peer interaction
– Peer review, brainstorming, portfolio buddies, presenting portfolios
• Take small steps with lots of scaffolding– Simple tasks to begin, provide examples– Provide technical and content support and feedback
• Eat your own dog food (i.e. build your own eportfolio)

Learner-owned Lifelong ePortfolioSummary thoughts
• ePortfolio as a lens for the world– Personal Learning Environment– Performance support platform– Recursive assessment platform
• ePortfolio as a dialogue– Group ePortfolios, PLNs, learning communities– Multiple tools, aggregated by need– Simplify/standardize the touch points
• Destination vs. journey
