{ePortfolios-and-PLTs} review eportfolios for JISC & earn up to 3K

[kev.brace]

Tight deadlines on this, so act quickly if you are interested .
Regards Kevin.


Call for expressions of interest to participate in a review of the e-
Portfolios infoKit and related resources.
JISC infoNet is looking for up to 10 reviewers with a range of
experience of using e-portfolios – from those who are quite new to e-
portfolios to those with considerable experience; and from a range of
roles (e.g. lecturer, PDP practitioner, IT manager) to contribute to
a
gap analysis of our e-Portfolios resources.
Those selected will be asked to consider the appropriateness of the
content, format, structure, ease of navigation and overall usefulness
of the resources from their perspective; to identify any gaps in
information provided; and to provide structured feedback and
suggestions by completing an extensive evaluation form. All comments
and suggestions made will then be considered before a report is
submitted to JISC recommending revisions to the resources to be
undertaken during the latter half of 2010.
Successful applicants are required to review all sections, but
provide
detailed feedback on both compulsory sections plus any two of the
other four optional sections available (you should indicate your
chosen two on your application). The six infoKit sections are:
What are e-portfolios? (compulsory section)
Policy Drivers and Trends (optional section)
Purposes (optional section)
Perspectives (optional section)
Choosing, Implementing and Embedding e-Portfolios (optional section)
The Future of e-Portfolios (compulsory section)
The review process will commence from Monday 31st May 2010 and the
work must be completed by Tuesday 31st August 2010. A grant of
£3,000 will be paid to each participating institution upon
completion.
Colleagues from interested institutions should email JISC infoNet
(jiscinfo...@northumbria.ac.uk) by Friday 30th April 2010 with a
short
summary of their current role, outlining their experience in the
areas
of e-portfolio use within the further or higher education sectors.
Please include an indication of your preferences with regard to the
two optional infoKit sections that you feel would be most appropriate
for you to review. Confirmation of authorisation by appropriate line
management to undertake this work and a commitment to completing the
process by Tuesday 31st August 2010 should also be included in the
email.
Selected institutions will be informed on or before Friday 28th May
2010 and will receive further instructions, links to the evaluation
tool and to the infoKit.
If you require any additional information then please do not hesitate
to email jiscinfo...@northumbria.ac.uk
Kind regards
Jacquie
