| 4: ePortfolios: Digital Stories of Deep Learning | |||
| Detailed Description: | This presentation will showcase the basic principles of Electronic Portfolios by linking two dynamic processes to promote deep learning: Portfolio Development and Digital Storytelling. If we are to help learners create portfolios that truly support Assessment For Learning (AFL) and follow the ten AFL principles, then we need to look at strategies that help learners find their own voice and tell the story of their own learning... strategies that foster learner self-motivation. A major challenge today with electronic portfolios is to maintain learner intrinsic motivation to willingly engage in the portfolio process. The use of multimedia tools is one strategy that involves and engages learners; another technology that is engaging young people today are weblogs (blogs) and wikis. Participants will see demonstrations of electronic portfolios as digital stories, formative assessment, and support for lifelong learning. | ||
