pebblepad moodle block + some more resources & our event

[kev.brace]

Just got wind of this ..

Moodle Block

"Did you know that PebblePad is more interoperable with Moodle than
Mahara? There’s a Moodle Block built by the Pebble team that allows
users launch and automatically sign in to their PebblePad account.
They can also quickly create assets within Moodle and then save
directly to their PebblePad account and can even export their posts
from the Blog and Forum in Moodle. Assignments and other resources can
also be saved from Moodle to PebblePad.
Go to www.pebblepad.co.uk/moodle to see a short video of the block in
action and for details on downloading the block. "


Plus a couple of web resources I've stumbled upon

1) E-portfolios as tools to assess generic competences
in distance learning study courses

http://www.elearningeuropa.info/files/media/media20251.pdf

2) The Limitations of Portfolios
http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2009/10/16/shavelson

...and finally there are places still available for our eportfolio
event in Derby on Nov 11th. We have Derrin Kent (Mahara/Moodle guru) ,
Kirstie Coolin (life long learning) & Pritpal Sembi + Alison Price who
are educators promoting innovative practice using eportfolios with
their learners

This raises an important point about ePortfolio interoperability. We at TaskStream have also developed this functionality, but not just for Moodle. We also offer API services for Blackboard as well as student MIS.
