Workshop means work…
• Please arrange yourselves into groups, possibly by HEO module/ course/ subject areas– In September, will you be using WebLearn?– Will you be using the ePortfolio in a pilot?– Do you have special PDP requirements (eg
professional body)?– Have you taken part in any WebLearn training?

A WebLearn HEO module, showing a PDP learning module to support the ePortfolio
![Page 4: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In a ‘WebLearn module’ a PDP ‘learning module’ can help…
• Guide students in how to use the Portfolio: if so, what should be in this learning module?– PDP framework, if so, how to present it?– Links to learning resources, if so, which?– Existing PDP documents like the ugstudy/pdp
web site?– Something else…?

WebLearn artefact ‘Save to Portfolio’ tool
![Page 6: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In your WebLearn module, students can save to Portfolio…
• MyGrades, assignments, assessments and discussion topic discussions - – So how would you use this facility?– How would you encourage students to use it?– How should the artefact be reflected upon? (eg
blog, new document, in module or in portfolio?)
– How would you know they have done it…?
![Page 7: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What’s in the WebLearn Portfolio
• Integration with WebLearn modules– Artefact saving (file storage area)
• Binders, including a multimedia gallery• Blog/ discussion & calendar (not integrated)• Goal setting & recording, evidence linked• Guest reviewer facility (can track guests,
eg module leader, tutor – who else?)• CV (resumé) tool
![Page 8: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Portfolio ‘Full’ Template or ‘aim’
![Page 9: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If we use the full template…
• Does it match the first semester HEO structure?
• Should it include further binders for future semesters/ years?
• Is it helpful, or overwhelming?
• Should we expect students to be more creative…?
![Page 10: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The ‘blank’ template…
…plus a link to an external Portfolio
![Page 11: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The blank template
• Does this allow the student to be more creative?
• Or is it scary?
• Could we include any helpful material…?
![Page 12: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The ‘resources only’ template
![Page 13: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If we use the resources only template in the 0708a pilots…
• What should go in the resources binder?
• What files should go in the my files area?
• What goals should be pre-populated?
• What links should be made…?
![Page 14: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reusable learning object (RLO) embedded in Portfolio
![Page 15: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RLO task
• For your subject/ course, consider what RLOs might be embedded in the– Portfolio?– WebLearn module?
• Should we be developing any more RLOs– If so, which?
![Page 16: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So, how did the HEO Spring semester pilot go, then?
• Why I can’t show you a student example…– Started late– Did not integrate into module learning and
teaching– Presented as an add-on– Not linked to PDP related assessment– Students did not use it by choice– A few added me as guest, but did not create
new content
![Page 17: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
So, how can we…
• Encourage students to use Portfolio?
• Know that they have started?
• Give them tasks that might persuade them to use it?
• Get them started…?
![Page 18: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A Getting Started File…
• The following HTML file, with links, could form the basis for a ‘getting started’ link in the main Portfolio window
– for now, but could be a portlet in the Student Portal, or a Reusable Learning Object…
![Page 19: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Modified E Portfolio resources-only template with a personalised ‘Getting Started’ HTML file
![Page 20: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Showing personalised links to PAA photo, course learning outcomes, and a textual explanation of the PDP purpose
![Page 21: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
‘Getting Started’ links to RLOs, PDP tools, Me & My Course etc
![Page 22: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
‘Getting Started’ can also link to module information & regs etc
![Page 23: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
And finally, what I concluded from my pilot in 0607b…
![Page 24: The WebLearn Portfolio and HEO Pilot: implications for a blended learning approach LondonMet T&L Workshop, July 07 Peter Chalk Undergraduate Centre tb2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d8b5503460f94a71963/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Conclusions from pilot
• Essential to– Integrate ePortfolio into L&T strategy
– PDP-related assessment must involve creating and sharing content in WebLearn Portfolio
– Spend time showing students how to use tools
– Encourage artefact saving in all modules
– Use blog to engage student with tutors
– Use CV tool with Careers Service etc etc
• Template – minimal to encourage engagement?
