9th international ePortfolio and Identity Conference, July 11-13, 2011, London, UK
This year's conference is organised in partnership, between EIfEL, the Internet of Subjects Forum (IoS) and the Center for Recording Achievement (CRA). The Programme Committee, a group of internationally recognised experts and professionals includes representatives from Europe, America and Asia-Pacific (http://www.epforum.eu/conference/committee)
The Conference website address is: http://www.epforum.eu/
The Conference will provide a forum where researchers and practitioners can discuss theoretical aspects, open issues, and innovative approaches and share the latest advances in the state of the art and practices in how far the following are currently supported effectively by ePortfolio tools and technologies, whether provided within or beyond institutions:
· the development of learner and professional identity;
· the (institutional) recognition of informal / life-wide learning;
· accreditation of prior experience and learning (APEL), curriculum design and assessment;
· integrative learning and holistic development (including graduate attributes);
· continuing professional development, lifelong learning and sustainable employability;
· the development of distributed ‘communities of practice’, community and organisational development.
The event will bring together policy-makers, researchers, academics, teachers, trainers, human resource managers and technologists. It will enable in-depth and broad exploration of the issues - and result in real outcomes. Past events have resulted in the creation of national and international networks, contribution to policies, contribution to standardisation bodies, establishing partnerships with other communities in the field of digital identity and human resource standards, transnational projects and numerous publications.

Conference on ePortfolios in Learning and Instruction - Visions, Concepts, Experience, November 18/19, 2011, in Freiburg, Germany
In collaboration with the University of Education Freiburg and AAEEBL
This workshop is designed as a place to network with people from different backgrounds and expertise with regard to ePortfolio, a fast emerging topic on the international horizon of higher education. Bring your current developmental project, your ideas, or simply your creative energy and join others doing their homework in figuring out how to implement and use ePortfolios to improve individual reflective practice, digital learning, and institutional assessment across higher education.
This workshop invites you to tackle one (or more) of the following personal goals:
- Learn about general principles and assumptions with regard to ePortfolios
- Work on reflective tasks and task arrangements for ePortfolio work in individual courses
- Inform yourself about the technical and pedagogical potentials of ePortfolio applications
- Identify the needs and possibilities of your institution with regard to digital learning, reflective practice, and assessment
- Outline the process of implementing ePortfolios at your institution
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.
