ePortfolio 2006
Oxford, 11-13 October 2006
4th International ePortfolio conference
The main theme for the 2006 conference is: "eStrategies for Empowering Learners."
This year's conference aims at exploring how the ePortfolio can contribute to the development of eStrategies for learning that result in empowered learners, providing them with greater control over their lifelong and lifewide learning journey. eStrategies can be local to an single or a group of institutions, to a region or a state, to an economic or industrial sector.
Some of the issues linked to eStrategies that authors might want to address are:
- How should ePortfolio be related to other eStrategies such as eAdministration and eCitizenship and in particular to digital identity?
- How could such eStrategies positively inflence the agenda for the transparency of qualifications and mobility?
- How should we link eStrategies for learning with the promotion of informal learning and recognition of work or social experience?
- How will the ePortfolio affect the future infrastructure of information systems? For example, could we imagine that current top-down centralised directories will be replaced/extended by 'aggregators' of information contained in personal ePortfolios?
- How does interoperability affect the success of ePortfolio initiatives? How can we insure a continuing digital space for lifelong and lifewide learners owning an ePortfolio?
