In recent days, I attended a session on ePortfolios (at ALT’s online winter conference), obviously a topic I feel close to at the moment considering my PD PACT experience. Having created three separate T&L ePortfolios now, each for different purposes, I was interested in hearing some other viewpoints. Shane Sutherland (Founder and CEO at PebblePad) mentioned a certain term around ePortfolios that I hadn't heard before: ‘DAPPER’. This term actually outlines their framework of six portfolio-like dimensions for people to consider the degree to which their ePortfolio demonstrates them:
I since found an excellent post by the presenter online that goes in to a bit more detail around each one of these posts, as well as in a Linkedin post he authored. Highly recommend reviewing the six dimensions and reflecting on your approach to your ePortfolio. I found the points might be worth considering when both starting an ePortfolio adventure, or even as you begin to reflect on your current one. Some other points mentioned were the concept that ePortfolios may be designed with different foci – I guess this depends on the role and goal of the ePortfolio, for example based around the person (Shane refers to these as Me-Portfolios), or about an activity or experience (Task-portfolios). Stay DAPPER! |
