Summary:
E-portfolios is an in-service Grundtvig training which aims to offer to the participants knowledge on the use of this ICT tool which can be used in Youth work & adult learning. Participants can obtain the 100% of the training costs from Grundtvig.
Target group:

For participants from: Youth in Action Programme Countries.
Group size: 20 participants
Details:
The specific Grundtvig seminar aims at guiding trainees to create, via a specific e-platform, their own electronic portfolios and be capable of adjusting them to their own and/or organization’s needs. As opposed to the classical portfolio enterprise defined by Stiggins (1994) as cited in Barrett (2005:4) “a collection of student work that demonstrates achievement or improvement” as well as the fact that “a portfolio is a systematic and cumulative folder of learned material” (McLean, 1990: 78) through which the learner is not assessed only on the basis of a single performance but through a number of separate pieces of work produced over an extended period of time, the electronic portfolio as a means of alternative assessment to host trainees’ learning achievements seems to be a revolutionary assessing technique easily integrated into all learning environments.
Aim
1) To introduce the use of ICT for improving the eight key competences, emphasizing the digital competence as this is described in the 2006 Recommendation;
2) To train learners in not only creating but also using the e-portfolio of their choice in their daily professional routines;
3) To experiment, exchange good practices and gain valuable knowledge from peers as well as discover ways of implementing e-portfolios;
4) To use ICT as a tool to achieve motivation for overcoming socioeconomic disadvantages while at the same time getting involved in educational systems;
5) To help participants more effectively use technology, i.e. computers and the multimedia not only with typical learning groups but also multi-cultural, groups at social exclusion risk such as school, drop-outs,ex-drug users, marginalized youths and the like;
6) To inform participants on the role and function of the new technologies;
7) "Open" the scope of the participants by adding extra aspects to the specific group sessions, namely that of Grudtvig, in the sense of more learning structures such as non-formal and informal dimension as well as that of digitization of their teaching material.
