What an ePortfolio could be?
1st International Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Assessment, Analytics and Feedback (TEAAF 2014)
Can be used by different agents to reach a great variety of purposes
“… a strategy or tool that displays a selection of evidence in relation to the competencies that a person or an organization has developed over a period. Depending on the purpose of the ePortfolio and the intended audience, the selection and presentation of evidence can consider elements of reflection and the use of different media and formats facilitating their understanding, visualization and evaluation” (Guàrdia, 2014)
ePortfolios & eAssessment
1st International Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Assessment, Analytics and Feedback (TEAAF 2014)
ePortfolios are being used to extend evaluation of online learning as a methodology. Specially, as a strategy for monitoring the
learning process
Assessment is more student-centered. Students can manage and reflect about their own educative journey.
Help teachers to observe and follow up the students work and processes over time.
Potential for connecting the classroom with the social and professional contexts… a new dimension of the evaluation!
Tool for accrediting skills and competencies (previous learning)

ePortfolio Competency Recognition and Accreditation Framework
Policies, concepts, artifacts and instruments that could potentially be integrated into a coherent Competency Recognition and Accreditation Framework of LLL.
Considering…• eP artifacts and technologies that could support recognition and accreditation.• Levels of competency recognition and accreditation through eP.• Organizational units that recognize and/or accredit competencies.• Differences in accreditation across contexts.• Suggestions on how to integrate eP into accreditation processes.
Provides guidance on how to use eP as a strategy for recognizing students prior learning … for example!!

A need…..
1st International Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Assessment, Analytics and Feedback (TEAAF 2014)
Despite the great potential of ePortfolios as an eAssessment tool its use is still very sparse…
How we can promote its use?
EPNET is developing a variety of open educational resources to help teachers &institutions to implement
and improve their practices with eP.
1st International Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Assessment, Analytics and Feedback (TEAAF 2014)
ePortfolio Introductory Course
ePortfolios for non-experts users of ePortfolios (teachers, learners, educational institutions,…).
Seven learning modules (3ECTs), focused on real tasks and activities.
A social layer to facilitate peer-review
“Self-study” modules or that can be integrated into existing courses.
