Final Webinar - Strategies for Implementing Eportfolios in your Organisation.

Wow, what a great session to conclude our Eportfolio Month May webinars. Allison provided a multi faceted webinar featuring breakout rooms for the onliners and group discussions in Hobart , Tasmania, simultaneously.

Here's the link to this fabulous session:
https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2011-05-22.1656.M.7424C055D8B9AAD08FD25EA7553179.vcr&sid=675
(Note there are segments of silence in the main room whilst the groups meet in their breakout rooms to collaborate on the whiteboards)

Thanks to the  wonderful eGems team for supporting this webinar - thanks Jenny Smith, Jyothi Jayaram, in Canberra and  Frankie Forsyth in Tasmania.
And a big round of applause to Roger Stack in Hobart for putting this together.

Finally flowers and accolades for Allison Miller - what a smooth efacilitation of this innovative webinar.
(Note: Allison will be collating the collaborative responses from the audience in Hobart and I will collate the collaborative responses from the onliners on each of the four Key Considerations for Implementing Eportfolios: teachers/trainers, learners, workplace supervisors/managers, training organisation). See attachment for these key considerations -


But wait there's more - we have another webinar on June 24 to introduce you to the Eportfolio Implementation Trials project teams. Please put that date in your diary for a 12.30 pm AEST (Sydney time) start.
