John, the following message has been sent today to members of our
group. Not sure if you belong but happy for you to know and/or post in
other groups.

Paul.

I am pleased to release the consultation draft of 'ePortfolios -
Celebrating Learning' a report on the use by NZ schools of e-
portfolios and recommendations on how best to cultivate more and
better use.

I am sure many of you will want to comment, so for now all I have to
say is thanks to the schools, writers and vendor involved. Please
read
and post your thoughts.

The report is in the files area of the MLE Reference Google Group.
Either navigate there yourself or try the following link:

Hello John,
California State Univesity has a website devoted to the use of
ePortfolios at: http://teachingcommons.cdl.edu/eportfolio/index.html .
I'm not sure what type of penetration they actually have as far as use
of ePortfolios go, but at least this is evidence that higher education
is thinking about this. They are also sponsoring a day long workshop
on ePortfolios here in the San Francisco Bay area in mid-august:
http://conference.csuprojects.org/eportfolios . I most likely won't be
attending due to my vacation, but it looks really interesting.

Here is another excellent resource that is facilitated by Dr. Helen
Chen over at Stanford: http://epaccop.blogspot.com/ . I'm actually
meeting with Helen a little bit later this afternoon to have a
conversation about our mutual interest in ePortfolio methodology. I
will report back to the group if anything interesting comes out of
this meeting.

AND Canada is moving Forward? http://eva.xlimei.cn/orc/314030

I suppose the reference to 2004 + 2005 should have been a bit of a
give away - but OK, I only skimmed it and posted it to the community
while sitting by the side of Lake Windemere. Enough of the excuses, it
does show the value of community, within a couple of hours both Serge
and Helen had come back to me to point out the out dated nature of the
orginal Blogg post and that Katrhyn Chang Barker now works in Saudi
Arabia. I must read things more carefully!


The discussion that Ray highlighted at http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/?p=1792
is moving along quite nicely. In my retirement, I am revisiting
Personalised Learning; Independent Learning and Functional Skills
before coming back to PLTs and the ePortfolio Process.

Back to Canada and what is happening around the world in ePortfolio
Terms, does anything exist [Wiki?] that sumerises what each country is
doing 'with' ePortfolios? - off to help a bit and watch some sailing

Hi - the link below works for the NZ report, must be a shorted one? -
a very useful document, thanks Paul - hope all is progressing well?

Thanks, John. I am pleased with the reception the has received. We
printed hundreds of copis and distribute them, along with
http://partners.becta.org.uk/upload-dir/downloads/page_documents/research/impact_eportfolios_learning.pdf
at our seminar sessions for (senior) school staff).

However, more significant is the hundreds of posts in the group itself
(http://groups.google.co.nz/group/mle-reference-group?hl=en) on
various eportfolio topics. This type of engagement is necessary
tounderstand what 2,600 hundred self-manageing schools would like the
Ministry to do in this space. A semi-formal discussion/consultation
process starts soon and we might even know our (national schools)
direction within the next month of so.

Paul.
