“Schools should explore not only how
ICT can supplement traditional ways of
teaching but also how it can open up new
and different ways of learning.”

“...young people should be educated in ways
that support them to assume control of
their own learning and that they can only do this if they develop the
capability to assess their own learning.”http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/

“...assessment’s primary function is to support
learning by generating feedback
that students can act upon in terms of where they are going, how they are going, and where they might go next.”

“Parents and the wider school community will also need to get better at
understanding assessment
information and interpreting it in
ways that support learning...”

Scoping a Vision for Formative e-Assessment
“No assessment technology is in itself
formative, but almost any technology
can be used in a formative way – if the right conditions are set in place.”

The benefits...
Ian Fox 2008
The power of ‘student voice’ should not be underestimated. To hear students
reflecting on their own work, in their own voice, with their own intonations and expressions, conveys meaning in a manner that
is simply not possible in written form.

...the social networking potential of the learning landscape and eportfolio-
related tools are features that facilitate
and enhance the making of
connections and the linking together
of people, ideas, resources and
learning...Tosh et al., 2006
“...it is the quality, not just the
quantity, of feedback that merits our closest attention.”
Sadler, 1998http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
“...supporting the general process of reflection, self-evaluation and action
planning for lifelong learning...”MOSEP 2007
“...students can literally carry their
eportfolio around with them and update
it at any time in any place.”

“...to define e-Portfolios as a process, rather than just a product or a technological system.

Are your parents and teachers ready?
http://flickr.com/photos/torres21/
Do your current internet policies cater for eportfolios and use of Web 2.0 tools?
Will your eportfolios play a role in reporting achievement against the National Standards?
Do you need a proprietary system or is a mash-up of Web 2.0 tools OK?

Is it important for eportfolios in your school to have a consistent look and feel?

Should your school expect the teachers to have a reflective eportfolio just as the students do?
In order to be effective and support the process of student learning, eportfolios:
•need to be embedded into your teaching and learning.
•require a high level of access to technology.
•you need to set time aside for students to first learn
how and then to actively reflect and give feedback
on learning.
Start small, and work your way up. Get students actively blogging in a class blog and move on to individual spaces
The management...
ePortfolios do not add to your workload. Instead you will need to change some of the ways you:
• give feedback• facilitate reflection• engage students in self and peer assessments
and
• you need to adapt learning and teaching so that
the process and outcomes can be shared
digitally within the eportfolio platform.
