Caveats
• Practitioner perspective• Pragmatic idealism (“CMS Plus” v. “anti-CMS”)• Not an “expert” on bigger issues (e.g., FERPA)• Opinions are my own• Situated examples/solutions/workarounds• Your results may vary

TEACHING IN THE OPEN
![Page 6: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Poll
How many of you would say that you “teach in the open” in any fashion?
Could we get one or two of you to tell us what you have in mind when thinking of “teaching
in the open?”
![Page 7: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Teach in the Open?
General• Access after course is over• Beyond “audience of one”• More flexible than or additional features than (or no
access to) CMS
For Me• Real, public tools for on-going professional development
learning (educators worldwide)• Practice using tools prior to using in K12 classroom

What Does it Look Like?
Traditional online graduate course with some open elements:• CMS as homebase (gradebook, low-level open book chapter
quizzes, course email, authoritative source for announcements, etc.)
• Student-owned “real” public blogs (live past course end if desired; connect to others)
• Student-owned public profiles (cultivating digital identity)• Student-owned wikis for iterative project
development/publishing• Judicious use of tools for openness (HootCourse.com for
updates, links to blog postings; Box.net for audio/text Weekly Updates; bookmarking on Diigo.com; etc.)

Why NOT Teach in the Open?
Concerns over not possessing student work:• Grade appeals• Award submissions
Concerns over restrictive laws or policies:• Family Educational Records & Privacy Act
(FERPA)• Institutional restrictions

Kelvin’s Approach
• Assume conservative FERPA interpretation• All official communications (including grades)
in CMS• FERPA/Web2.0 statements in course
documents• No required personally identifiable information
on public web

ePortfolio Types
• Institutional Portfolio• Teaching Portfolio• Student Portfolio
– Working Portfolio• Emphasizes process
– Presentation Portfolio• Emphasizes product• Job seeking/promotional• End-of-program• End-of-course

Portfolio Thinking
• Collect• Select• Reflect
Note: All learner metacognitive benefits derive from “portfolio thinking”

Portfolio Ownership

Software• Web site/blog• Portfolio (Sakai OSP, Mahara, Epsilen, etc.)

Poll
How many of your institutions have seen ePortfolio use in any of the ways described
(even if isolated programs/courses)?
What big picture issues related to ePortfolios have I missed?

MY CMS-BASED COURSE-LEVEL LEARNING PORTFOLIO
![Page 22: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
My “Upside Down” Approach
Traditional approach to presentation portfolios• “Private” coursework excerpts made “public”• Partially a response to closed courses/teaching
My approach to course-level learning portfolio• “Public” coursework excerpts made “private”• Response to teaching in the open• Still benefits learner metacognitively
![Page 23: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Implementation Requirements
As evidence of learning housed in CMS along with grades and other “official” communications, tool must provide for:
• Uploading to CMS of (not linking to) excerpted student work
• Inclusion of substantive written reflections• Submissions tied to specific learning outcomes
![Page 24: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Possibly Relevant CMS Tools
• Assignment dropbox tool• Discussions• Internal CMS email tool• Quiz tool (if supporting uploads allowed)• Internal CMS “Portfolio” tool
![Page 25: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Decision Guide
Does tool allow:• Delineation of specific learning outcomes?• Upload of files for each outcome? (any restriction
on size or #?)• Written statement for each outcome? (any
restriction on length?)• Review at outcome level and as an entire
portfolio?• Integration with other ePortfolio levels?
![Page 26: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What Does This Look Like?Assignment Dropbox Tool• Individual dropbox for each outcome• Title includes clear title for each unique outcome• Textbox for student refection• Multiple file uploads for student artifacts• Clear student instructions in each dropbox

Discuss
Partner-Up with Others and Discuss:What would you do differently if you were to
implement a course-level learning portfolio using CMS-based tools?
Try to identify key affordances and constraints.

YOUR CMS-BASED COURSE-LEVEL LEARNING PORTFOLIO

Learn from My Experience
• Tension between learning goals and “possession” goals:– Not all assignments result in artifact uploads– Students may upload ancillary documentation
• Students often resist the metacognitive:– No one’s favorite assignment– Path of least resistance/pro forma
![Page 35: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Learn from My Experience
• No such thing as “too much support:”– Provide scaffolding for mastery level determination– Screencast walk through of portfolio rubric– Consider stipulating required file formats (advisedly!)
• Portfolio reviewing/grading is tedious:– CMS tools clunky (e.g., sort by student, then click
“Back” button after reviewing each dropbox)– Keep focus on the whole (versus sum-of-parts)
![Page 36: Thompson kelvin eli 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547c9f195906b557378b457f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Steps for Getting Started
1. Choose outcomes carefully (course objectives? excerpted program goals? national standards?)
2. Set-up tool with very clear usage instructions3. Prep students at beginning of course4. Remind students of Collect-Select-Reflect
process5. Support students in making artifacts
