Call for Applications: Cohort VII of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research, Deadline: January 13, 2012

 

Cohort VII of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research will focus on assessment through the lens of four propositions. Those propositions center on the interaction of pieces of evidence, the relationship of evidence and reflection, material practices, and meaningful comparison without standardization. The propositions are:

 

  • For meaningful assessment, interaction of pieces of evidence within an eportfolio is more important than single pieces of evidence.
  • Reflection on pieces of evidence within an eportfolio and on the eportfolio as a whole provides information for assessment that is not available by other means.
  • The material practice of eportfolio composition generates distinctive knowledge about learning.
  • Eportfolios enable meaningful comparison of student learning across institutions (and other contexts) without standardization.

 

If your institution is interested in exploring these ideas in a systematic way to influence the direction of assessment of learning and in conducting research on your own eportfolio practices or programs, you are invited to apply for participation in Cohort VII.

 

To apply for Cohort VII participation, contact the Coalition directors: Darren Cambridge at dcambridge@air.org , Kathleen Yancey at kyancey@fsu.ed ; and Barbara Cambridge at bcambridge@ncte.org for the application form. Applications are due January 13, 2012. Selected teams will be notified by January 30, 2012.

 

 

Call for Proposals: AAEEBL 2012 Annual Conference: ePortfolios as a Catalyst for Connections:  Celebrating the Curious, Creative and Capable Learner

Deadline: February 3, 2012 

 

The AAEEBL 2012 Program Committee invites you to submit a proposal for a session on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, July 17-19, 2012 in Boston, MA at the Annual Conference.

 

Watch the conference landing page for updates as soon as we have new information to share.  We are especially excited about our Monday workshops to be held on July 16.  This year we will feature an morning session with Peter Elbow, one of the first to describe and implement folio-thinking for students and teachers.  We will also have an all-day K-12/K-16 Institute featuring Harvard's John Richards, a technology innovator, along with a variety of panels to address topics especially relevant to those in K-12/K-16 education.  Also featured on Monday will be afternoon sessions on The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) as it applies to eportfolios and an ePortfolio Institute aimed at those who want an overview of eportfolios.  So, there's lots happening on Monday of note as well as during the other days of the conference!

RosEvaluation Conference 2012: Assessment for Program and Institutional Accreditation, April 1-3, 2012, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Indiana

http://www.rose-hulman.edu/roseval/

 

Educators are searching for tools that can help them assess and evaluate their students' achievement of defined learning outcomes in fields as diverse as engineering, business, health professions, math, science and technology (to name a few). These assessments and evaluations are part of a national trend toward transparency and accountability regarding the value added in education. The RosEvaluation Conference 2012 will bring together those who are developing assessment and evaluation tools to share information and their expertise. The conference will emphasize concrete, effective, and efficient solutions to assessment and evaluation challenges!

 

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Stacy Provezis, Project Manager & Research Analyst for the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA), located at the University of Illinois.
