Topic: What is an ePortfolio and how can it be used in VET assessment?
In this Natter on Education Matters, guest Allison Miller is going to share with us what exactly an ePortfolio is, and how it can be used in VET assessment.
ePortfolios are already known for their benefits including for:
Helping learners develop a growth mindset by encouraging them to see learning as a process
Being a tool that provides evidence of a student's performance over time
Helping students develop digital literacy skills
Especially with the impact of generative AI on issues such as authenticity, could ePortfolios offer a sustainable, viable solution to obtaining authentic evidence of learning and performance?
Find out more as we discuss on the day!
Allison runs the ePortfolios Australia professional network which supports ePortfolio practice through professional development, research activities and the sharing of resources, ideas and practice.
