Details:
E-portfolios is a Grundtvig in-service 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 by applying to their Lifelong Learning Programme National Agency. This specific Grundtvig training aims at guiding trainees to create, via a specific e-platform, their own electronic portfolios and to be capable of adjusting them to their own and/or their 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
• To introduce the use of ICT for improving the eight key competences, emphasizing the digital competence as this is described in the 2006 Recommendation;
• To train learners in not only creating but also using the e-portfolio of their choice in their daily professional routines;
• To experiment, exchange good practices and gain valuable knowledge from peers as well as discover ways of implementing e-portfolios;
• To use ICT as a tool to achieve motivation for overcoming socioeconomic disadvantages while at the same time getting involved in educational systems;
• 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;
• To inform participants on the role and function of the new technologies;
• "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.
Methodology
Methodology will mix theoretical and practical learning sessions. Working methods will be interactive and participants’ active involvement will be stimulated by trainers throughout the course. Questions, groups and individual works, sharing and brainstorming activities will be used to reassure better concepts’ understanding and assimilation.
More specifically, the methodology will consist of:
1) Enriched lectures;
2) Group discussions and reflections;
3) Action methods (workshop teaching mode);
4) Peer exchange of good practices;
5) Interactive sessions.
Costs:
100% of the costs is covered by the Lifelong Learning Programme/Grundtvig In-Service Trainings. Interested participants need to apply to their own LLP National Agency for the grant (upon reception of our pre-acceptance letter).
Working language: English.
SCADENZA: 19th of April 2013.
