This past week I have been attending the 2008 E-Learn conference in Las Vegas.
E-Learn: the World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, & Higher Education is an international conference organized by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) and co-sponsored by the International Journal on E-Learning.
This annual conference serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of information on research, development, and applications of all topics related to e-Learning in the Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education sectors. There were at least 10 presentation on the use of e-portfolios. For a full list see http://www.aace.org/conf/elearn/sessions/index.cfm/fuseaction/PresentationSearch?cfid=7765147&cftoken=96079567&search_field=Abstract&search_string=Portfolio&day=&topic_search_list=&confID=3033&do_search=true
In one paper entitled I, I, I, as in Individualised Inquiry based iPortfolios: Building access and success in Teaching and Learning. This paper examined the documentation of preservice teacher learning journeys through digital inquiry based portfolios. It is through, with and by the development of these iPortfolios that the students create layers of meaning for themselves, their peers and the staff who interact with them on that teaching and learning journey. Since the evolving of the learning and the documentation of that journey was entirely self inquiry based, the process and the product became indicative of the individual, capturing the uniqueness of each particular journey; transforming to become the I, I, I, content and the essence of an iPortfolio. As iPortfolio become more common in preservice education so will be the need for Acrobat 9.0 Pro to make this task easier.
