The Knowledge Tree
Putting the learner in the driver’s seat: The Knowledge Tree e-journal Edition 18 out now!
The Knowledge Tree is an e-journal of learning innovation which aims to foster and share in-depth knowledge and provoke debate on e-learning issues and innovative practices. Edition 18 looks at how web 2.0 technologies, particularly e-portfolios and point of view (POV) technologies, are allowing learners to ‘take the wheel’ in the learning process.
The following exclusive contributions are now available online:
Lead article: The world of e-portfolios
Allison Miller, E-portfolios Business Manager at the Australian Flexible Learning Framework writes the lead article, advocating that as we move further into the digital age, e-portfolios are beginning to play a key role in RPL (recognition of prior learning). In this article she provides an international perspective on the use of e-portfolios for RPL. Allison will be available for a live online conversation on Monday 10 August from 12.30 – 1.30pm AEST as part of the Framework’s e-Gems 09 series of web conferencing sessions.
Article: Dis-integrating e-portfolios
Stephen Downes is an internationally recognised author and speaker specialising in online learning, new media, pedagogy and philosophy. Stephen writes about the evolution of e-portfolios and the need to ensure they don’t become just another box for learners to tick in order to gain their qualifications.
Article: Sci-fi learning - The power of POV
POV devices, such as camera glasses and video cameras, can enhance an e-portfolio by quickly and easily capturing live evidence in the workplace.
Vicki Marchant (TAFE NSW), Leigh Blackall (Otago Polytechnic) and Simon Brown (TAFE Queensland) provide a collaborative article about POV technologies, including their underlying pedagogy, barriers and tips for use, and the likely future impact on the VET system.
Interviews
Mark Hunwicks (TAFE SA), Meaghan Botteril (RMIT) and Glenn Searle (Brisbane North Institute of TAFE) are interviewed about using e-portfolios for RPL – predicting a future where e-portfolios are increasingly linked to community networking applications such as Facebook, blurring the lines between social and educational environments.
