6/13 - "ePortfolios are digital representations of a person and thus need to be an integral part of a person's digital life. Thus ePortfolios need to be either aggregators of data or citizens in bigger digital environments"

6/12 - the relationship between the ePortfolio Process and the Learning Process

http://mosep.elggspaces.com/jpallister/weblog/80.html
How does the ePortfolio process fit into a cycle or spiral where the learner experiences something, reflects, does some thinking, assimilating or absorbing some 'learning' which they then go on to test out through some experimenting. The experimenting stage itself contributing the 'spiral' element to the process drawing the learner into new learning as they test what it is that they have just learnt. The experimenting stage providing new experiences upon which the learner with reflect etc.

The ePortfolio process encourages the learner to review and reflect on what they have done, made, experienced or learnt. They are encouraged to record their reflections in their ePortfolio and share them with others. The ePortfolio process gives value to reflection and requires reflection to be explicit and more visible. This in turn might result in the learner deriving more benefit from the reflection stage, previously something of an invisible process.

6/6 - EIfEL position paper - http://www.eife-l.org/news_events/releases/2007/eppositionpaper/view

Is MySpace an ePortfolio? Is 43things an ePortfolio? Is Elgg really an ePortfolio? What is the relationship between an ePortfolio and an ePortfolio Management System? What standards do we need to make ePortfolios interoperable? What ePortfolio parts shouldn't be made interoperable?

e-Portfolios – the DNA of the Personal Learning Environment?
